Tax Authority Advice and the Public 税务机关的建议和公众

Stephen Daly
There is now almost universal acceptance that tax law is overly complex and indeterminate. And yet, there has to date been no comprehensive assessment of the role of the tax authority in the current arrangement. If the legislation and case law offer few immediate answers to the taxpayer, then the role of Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs (HMRC) in advising taxpayers becomes more apparent. This monograph contends that the provision of advice by HMRC is desirable by virtue of the rule of law and it follows that any such advice should be correct, clear, accessible and reliable. Additionally, there should exist some means of scrutinising the advice in order to check that it satisfies these criteria. The book explores this view of HMRC's role in tax collection. It explains the deficiencies in the current system in this light, highlighting the pitfalls for taxpayers and practitioners as well as the potential remedies. Finally, the book assesses potential reforms which could be adopted in order to alleviate existing problems. A timely and ambitious work, this book is essential reading for practitioners and academics interested in the interaction between tax administration and public law.
现在,人们几乎普遍认为税法过于复杂和不确定。然而,迄今为止,还没有对税务机关在当前安排中的作用进行全面评估。如果立法和判例法不能立即为纳税人提供答案,那么英国税务海关总署(HMRC)在为纳税人提供建议方面的作用就变得更加明显了。本专著认为,由于法治,HMRC提供的建议是可取的,因此任何此类建议都应该是正确的,清晰的,可获得的和可靠的。此外,应该有一些审查建议的方法,以检查它是否满足这些标准。这本书探讨了HMRC在税收征管中的作用这一观点。它从这个角度解释了现行制度的缺陷,突出了纳税人和从业者的陷阱以及潜在的补救措施。最后,本书评估了可能采取的改革措施,以缓解存在的问题。一个及时和雄心勃勃的工作,这本书是对税收管理和公法之间的相互作用感兴趣的从业者和学者必不可少的阅读。

Taxing Parents: Welfarist Theories 向父母征税:福利主义理论
Pub Date : 2020-04-17 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3579117
S. McCormack
The Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) taxes parents inequitably. Couples with a sole earner are under-taxed compared to couples with dual earners or single parents. Previous scholarship has identified these inequities and then argued that this sole earner bias should be eliminated. These arguments, however, have often been incomplete. Simply establishing that an inequity exists does not create a full argument for legal reform. After all, the Code plays favorites all the time. Scholars have traditionally turned to theories of distributive justice when evaluating whether tax preferences are warranted. These theories offer competing visions about the way resources should be allocated. Rather than advocating blanket equality, these theories identify higher order principles that justify preferential-ism. But scholars who have asked Congress to eliminate the Code’s preference for sole earners have often failed to connect their arguments with this distributive literature. This Article, the first in a series, begins to connect traditional theories of distributive justice with the debate surrounding the Code’s inequitable taxation of parents. To do so, it focuses on welfarist theories — a body of distributive theories that seek to maximize social welfare — because of the dominant influence they have exerted over tax debates. It reaches the surprising conclusion that welfarism may, in many cases, support the Code’s sole earner bias. But the reasons for this prescription are revealing — sole earners have fewer costs and time constraints than single parents and dual earners and may, therefore, be better positioned to use their income to achieve well-being. Many will find it counter-intuitive to favor sole earners just because they have more choices than other parents. For them, the analysis may reveal the limitations of relying too heavily on welfarism to analyze the taxation of parents. This Article concludes with a call for sustained consideration of other non-welfarist theories that have been largely overlooked in the legal tax scholarship.
《国内税收法》(简称《税法》)对父母的征税不公平。与双职工家庭或单亲家庭相比,单亲家庭的税负较低。以前的学者已经发现了这些不平等,然后认为这种唯一的挣钱偏见应该被消除。然而,这些论点往往是不完整的。简单地确定不平等的存在并不能为法律改革提供充分的论据。毕竟,法典总是偏心的。在评估税收优惠是否合理时,学者们传统上转向分配正义理论。这些理论对资源分配方式提出了相互矛盾的看法。这些理论不是提倡全面的平等,而是确定了更高层次的原则,为优惠主义辩护。但是,那些要求国会取消《税法》对唯一收入者的优待的学者们,往往未能将他们的论点与这种分配文献联系起来。本文是系列文章中的第一篇,开始将分配正义的传统理论与围绕《法典》对父母不公平征税的辩论联系起来。为了做到这一点,它把重点放在福利主义理论上——一组寻求社会福利最大化的分配理论——因为它们在税收辩论中发挥了主导作用。它得出了一个令人惊讶的结论:在许多情况下,福利主义可能支持《准则》唯一的收入偏见。但开出这一处方的原因是显而易见的——与单亲父母和双职工相比,单身人士的成本和时间限制更少,因此,他们可能更有能力利用自己的收入来实现幸福。许多人会发现,仅仅因为单身父母比其他父母有更多的选择,就偏袒他们是违反直觉的。对他们来说,这种分析可能揭示了过于依赖福利主义来分析父母税收的局限性。本文最后呼吁持续考虑其他非福利主义理论,这些理论在法律税收学术中很大程度上被忽视了。

Debt Issuance in the Era of Passive Investment 被动投资时代的债务发行
Pub Date : 2020-04-11 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3152612
Michele Dathan, S. Davydenko
Passive bond funds provide predictable demand for newly issued corporate bonds included in popular indices. By issuing index-eligible bonds, firms can take advantage of this passive demand and improve bond characteristics unrelated to index eligibility. We find that higher passive demand increases firms' propensity to issue bonds, and results in larger bonds, lower spreads, longer maturities, and fewer covenants. Firms issue a disproportionate number of bonds with face value just sufficient to be included in major bond indices. Following an increase in the index size threshold, some firms withdraw from the bond market while others respond by issuing larger bonds.
被动型债券基金为纳入热门指数的新发行公司债券提供可预测的需求。通过发行指数合格债券,公司可以利用这种被动需求,改善与指数合格无关的债券特征。我们发现,较高的被动需求增加了公司发行债券的倾向,并导致债券规模更大,利差更低,期限更长,契约更少。公司发行的债券数量不成比例,其面值仅足以纳入主要债券指数。随着指数规模门槛的提高,一些公司退出债券市场,而另一些公司则通过发行更大规模的债券来应对。

Presence and Persistence of Poverty in U.S. Tax Data 美国税收数据中贫困的存在和持续
Pub Date : 2020-04-01 DOI: 10.3386/w26966

This paper presents new estimates of the level and persistence of poverty among U.S. households since the Great Recession. We build annual household data files using U.S. income tax filings between 2007 and 2018. These data allow us to track individuals over time and measure how tax policies affect poverty trends. Using an after-tax household income measure, we estimate that while roughly 1 in 10 people are in poverty in any given year, over 4 in 10 people spent at least one year in poverty between 2007 and 2018. This implies substantial mobility in and out of poverty—for example, 41 percent of those in poverty in 2007 were out of poverty in the following year. Others spend multiple years in poverty or escape poverty only to fall back into it. Of those in poverty in 2007, one-third were in poverty for at least half of the years through 2018.
本文提出了自经济大衰退以来美国家庭贫困水平和持续时间的新估计。我们使用2007年至2018年的美国所得税申报文件建立了年度家庭数据文件。这些数据使我们能够长期跟踪个人,并衡量税收政策如何影响贫困趋势。使用税后家庭收入衡量标准,我们估计,虽然在任何一年都有大约十分之一的人处于贫困状态,但在2007年至2018年期间,超过四分之一的人至少有一年处于贫困状态。这意味着脱贫和脱贫的流动性很大——例如,2007年41%的贫困人口在次年脱贫。另一些人在贫困中生活多年,或者摆脱贫困后又重新陷入贫困。在2007年的贫困人口中,三分之一的人至少在截至2018年的一半时间里处于贫困状态。

The paper studies the evolution of this phenomenon, starting from the transition of the Russian Federation to a market economy to the present. The authors conclude that in the most regions with a significant policy of providing tax benefits for corporate income tax, such benefits are provided not as a result of the internal tax competition mechanism, but for other reasons.

How Information about Foreign Aid Affects Public Spending Decisions: Evidence from a Field Experiment in Malawi 外援信息如何影响公共支出决策:来自马拉维实地实验的证据
Pub Date : 2020-03-03 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3548125

Abstract Does foreign aid shift public spending? Many worry that aid will be “fungible” in the sense that governments reallocate public funds in response to aid. If so, this could undermine development, increase the poorest's dependency on donors, and free resources for patronage. Yet, there is little agreement about the scale or consequences of such effects. We conducted an experiment with 460 elected politicians in Malawi. We provided information about foreign aid projects in local schools to these politicians. Afterwards, politicians made real decisions about which schools to target with development goods. Politicians who received the aid information treatment were 18% less likely to target schools with existing aid. These effects increase to 22–29% when the information was plausibly novel. We find little evidence that aid information heightens targeting of political supporters or family members, or dampens support to the neediest. Instead the evidence indicates politicians allocate the development goods in line with equity concerns.
外援是否会改变公共支出?许多人担心,援助将是“可替代的”,因为政府会根据援助重新分配公共资金。如果是这样,这可能会破坏发展,增加最贫穷国家对捐助者的依赖,并将资源无偿提供给赞助者。然而,对于这种影响的规模或后果,几乎没有达成一致意见。我们在马拉维对460名民选政客进行了实验。我们向这些政客提供了当地学校的外援项目信息。之后,政治家们就向哪些学校提供发展产品做出了真正的决定。接受过援助信息处理的政客将目标对准现有援助学校的可能性降低了18%。当信息看似新颖时,这种影响增加到22-29%。我们发现很少有证据表明,援助信息加剧了针对政治支持者或家庭成员的攻击,或削弱了对最需要帮助的人的支持。相反,有证据表明,政客们是根据公平考虑来分配发展产品的。

Can Firm‐Specific Dividend Drop‐Off Ratios Be Used to Infer Shareholder Marginal Tax Rates? 公司特定股息下降率可以用来推断股东边际税率吗?
Pub Date : 2020-03-01 DOI: 10.1111/acfi.12322
Andrew Ainsworth, Adrian D. Lee, T. Walter
In a seminal study, Elton and Gruber (1970) argue that ex‐dividend day pricing can be used to infer marginal tax rates of shareholders. We examine ex‐dividend day pricing for individual firms and ask whether their CFOs could use the history of a firm's ex‐dividend price‐drop ratios to infer reasonable estimates of shareholders’ marginal tax rates. We use TAQ data for 1,124 US firms that have at least 30 ex‐dividend days during the period August 1993 to October 2012. Our results show that ex‐dividend day pricing is so noisy as to prohibit sensible estimates of shareholders’ marginal tax rates.

Stock Market's Reaction to Employment News: Bad News is Not Good Anymore 股市对就业消息的反应:坏消息不再是好消息
Pub Date : 2020-02-25 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3544378
Badrinath Kottimukkalur
I document a shift in the stock market's reaction to employment news beginning early 2000s. Good employment news increases stock prices during expansions but has no effect during recessions. Overall, good employment news is good for stocks, a shift from the relationship documented in earlier studies. Furthermore, good employment news continues to decrease bond returns. The opposite response of stock and bond returns to employment news is consistent with the negative stock and bond return correlation in recent times. Risk premium drives the recent stock price reaction to employment news whereas interest rate was the dominant channel prior to 2000s.
我记录了从21世纪初开始股市对就业新闻反应的转变。良好的就业消息会在经济扩张期间推高股价,但在经济衰退期间却没有作用。总的来说,良好的就业消息对股市有利,这与早期研究中记录的关系有所不同。此外,就业利好消息继续降低债券回报率。股票和债券回报对就业消息的相反反应与近期股票和债券回报负相关是一致的。风险溢价推动了近期股票价格对就业消息的反应,而在2000年之前,利率是主要渠道。

Risk premium drives the recent stock price reaction to employment news whereas interest rate was the dominant channel prior to 2000s.","PeriodicalId":119398,"journal":{"name":"Political Economy - Development: Fiscal & Monetary Policy eJournal","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122946298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The political transition in the Arab Spring countries has been accompanied by a deterioration of economic and financial indicators like the Tunisian case. Therefore, this paper aims to get a deeper understanding the nature of the rule that reflects the behavior of the Tunisian monetary authority in the current dominance of economic and financial instability. In particular, this paper assesses whether the Tunisian Central Bank is indeed following a linear or a non linear augmented Taylor rule. For our purpose, we use a forward looking version of Taylor rule augmented by including the effect of exchange rate to estimate the linear and the nonlinear models. A smooth transition regression model is employed to estimate the nonlinear rule. The results obtained imply that the Tunisian Central Bank follows a nonlinear Taylor rule in the conduct of monetary policy. In addition, our evidence suggests that the reaction of monetary authority in Tunisia to the deviation of forecasts of inflation rate, output gap and exchange rate changes in terms of magnitude and statistical significance across the high and low interest rate regimes. In particular, when the lagged interest rate is above the threshold level of 4.76%, the main objective of the policy makers is to fight the inflation rate and to limit the depreciation of exchange rate rather than to boost the economic activity.
阿拉伯之春国家的政治转型伴随着经济和金融指标的恶化,比如突尼斯的情况。因此,本文旨在更深入地了解反映突尼斯货币当局在当前经济和金融不稳定占主导地位的行为的规则的性质。特别是,本文评估了突尼斯中央银行是否确实遵循线性或非线性增广泰勒规则。为了达到我们的目的,我们使用泰勒规则的前瞻性版本,通过增加汇率的影响来估计线性和非线性模型。采用平滑过渡回归模型对非线性规律进行估计。所得结果表明,突尼斯中央银行在货币政策的实施中遵循非线性泰勒规则。此外,我们的证据表明,突尼斯货币当局对通货膨胀率预测偏差的反应,产出缺口和汇率变化的幅度和统计显著性跨越高利率和低利率制度。特别是,当滞后利率高于4.76%的门槛水平时,政策制定者的主要目标是抑制通货膨胀率和限制汇率贬值,而不是促进经济活动。
