There is a rising political discussion in Germany around abolishing the final withholding tax on capital income. The German tax reforms that introduced this tax lowered tax rates, in particular on interest income. According to some authors, the growing inequality of income and property is a strong argument for the higher taxation of capital income. However, other authors argue that the neutrality aspects concerning private investment are inadequate. An abolishment of the final withholding tax would not solve these problems and, moreover, would turn back the achieved improvements. Therefore, the German Council of Economic Experts suggests complementing the previous reforms by introducing an allowance for corporate equity. 相似文献

The failed attempts of several European countries to introduce a flight ticket tax and the pressure on those European Union Member States still levying such a tax clearly demonstrate the limits of national aviation taxation. Assigning a carbon-based flight ticket tax to the EU level would reduce the tax enforcement problems inherent to mobile tax bases and put a stop to harmful tax competition between EU Member States. By replacing a part of national contributions to the EU budget a flight ticket tax can strengthen sustainability-orientation of the EU system of own resources. Using a new data set, which assigns to approximately 75 to 90% of the respective intra and extra EU routes flown in the year 2014 the corresponding carbon emissions per passenger, the paper estimates the expected revenue from implementing a carbon-based flight ticket tax at the EU level for carbon tax levels between 25 and 35€ per ton of carbon emissions. 相似文献

The tax burden imposed on enterprises is frequently asserted to be an important
determinant of a country’s prospects in the global competition for market shares and
foreign investment. The best way to measure effective company tax rates
is controversial, however. The following paper examines the situation in Poland
using various indicators and compares it to that in the EU-15. 相似文献

There is evidence that a budget consolidation strategy can work with only a small and short-lived negative impact on growth.
However, many countries are currently trying to consolidate at the same time as firms and consumers are deleveraging. We develop
ten guidelines for consolidation during such a difficult economic period and cross-check whether the upcoming consolidation
programmes being implemented in the EU countries comply with our guidelines. We propose following a “high road” on cutting
deficits, which includes an active growth-enhancing component during the consolidation period. The active component should
be financed by deeper cuts in subsidies, by eliminating obsolete government expenditure as well as by increasing the efficiency
of the public sector. Taxes should not be raised permanently — a temporary contribution to consolidation will be needed, but
tax structures in general should be made more growth and employment friendly. 相似文献

On May 2, 2018, the European Commission proposed a limited and realistic increase for the EU’s next multi-annual financial framework 2021–2027. The draft implies a roughly constant common budget for the EU with a focus on European stabilisation policy and the provision of centralised public goods provision rather than agriculture and cohesion. This shift mirrors the priorities spelled out by Emanuel Macron. However, the Commission combined this pragmatism with its interest in improving budgetary flexibility and autonomy. There is no doubt that the EU27 faces difficult negotiations. EU Member States’ initial reactions to the European Commision’s recent proposals were dominated by juste retour considerations reminiscent of past negotiations. Strengthening EU expenditure through European added value and fundamentally reforming their own resource system, including the introduction of tax-based own resources, will end the deadlock surrounding net position thinking. A more fundamental view on the fiscal policy of the European Union is given in the last paper, which states that the EU requires a complete overhaul of the economic governance structure. It offers a tentative approach that avoids moral hazard problems as well as fallacies about conditional backstops during times of crisis. 相似文献

Using official statistics and tax laws, we outline and discuss the evolution of the personal income tax in Austria since the
beginning of the Second Republic in 1955. Focusing on the tax tariff and its progressivity properties, we identify a period
of high (and increasing) progressivity before 1989, followed by a period of diminished progressivity since 1989. While still
being a powerful revenue instrument, the Austrian income tax seems to have lost both redistributive impact and political allure.

Some authors focus on the fact that Germany shows one of the highest tax burdens among the OECD countries. Based on their analysis, they suggest approaches to reduce the tax burden in particular for lower and medium incomes. These tax reliefs are possible, and would not compromise new public investment. But decreases in personal income tax rates mainly relieve higher income earners and are accompanied by high tax losses if the top tax rates are not increased. Alternatives are relief for social contributions or VAT. Other researchers do not look at the tax burden this way: as the income tax burden in Germany is not high from a historical perspective or by international standards, there is no case for massive tax cuts, as this would jeopardise the government’s ability to act and fail to correct past shifts of the tax burden at the expense of households with low incomes. Any tax cuts should be targeted at the bottom half of the income distribution without creating any revenue shortfalls. Instead, the government would be well advised to increase its efforts to overcome the public investment backlog and ensure a well functioning civil service. Furthermore, sustainability oriented tax reforms should focus on a shift of the tax burden from taxes on labour towards environmental and wealth based taxes. 相似文献
