application targets in a timeframe unimaginable only a few years ago but also it will produce substantial levels of tax income. Based on this report, between 2000 to 2012, for every dollar invested by the mobile industry, around $0.80 will be earned in tax revenues by governments. For the same period more than $70 billion in tax revenue will be generated by the mobile industry. But the potential tax revenues could be even greater. President Kagame says mobile phones are no longer a luxury but a necessity

Tax haven A tax haven is a country or territory where certain taxes are levied at a low rate or not at all. Individuals and/or corporate entities can find it attractive to move themselves to areas with reduced or nil taxation levels. This creates a situation of tax competition among governments. Different jurisdictions tend to be havens for different types of taxes, and for different categories of people and/or companies. There are several definitions of tax havens. The Economist has tentatively

ABSTRACT ■ ■ n this paper we discuss how globalisation affects tax policy setting. The is a general consensus that the removal of non tax barriers, the increase of FDI flows and other components of globalisation have resulted in increased tax competition. A distinction has however to be made between the usual form of tax competition, by which governments try to attract mobile tax bases by lowering taxes, and yardstick competition or tax mimicking. The country reviews that are conducted by international

Identification is achieved by using institutional information about the tax and transfer systems and the timing of tax collections to identify the automatic response of taxes and spending to activity, and, by implication, to infer fiscal shocks. The results consistently show positive government spending shocks as having a positive effect on output, and positive tax shocks as having a negative effect. The multipliers for both spending and tax shocks are typically small. Turning to the effects of taxes and

between multinational entities. For both reasons, MNEs have an incentive to locate their patents at affiliates with a relatively small corporate tax rate. Our paper empirically tests for this relationship by exploiting a unique dataset which links information on patent applications to micro panel data for European MNEs. Our results suggest that the corporate tax rate (differential to other group members) indeed exerts a negative effect on the number of patents filed by a subsidiary. The effect is quantitatively

multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC) = 1 / (1 - 0.80) = 1 / 20/100 = 5 ∆Y = $500 billion x 5 ∆Y = $2,500 billion 5. Mathematically, the value of the tax multiplier in terms of the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is given by the formula a. MPC - 1. b. (MPC - 1) MPC. c. 1 / MPC. d. 1 - [1 / (1 - MPC)]. ANS: d. The tax multiplier is also stated as tax multiplier = 1 - spending multiplier. 6. Assume the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.75 and the government increases taxes by $250

supported the launching of a pilot mechanism in the form of a ‘solidarity contribution’ on plane tickets in a new statement titled the « Declaration on Innovative Sources of Financing Development ». France and Chile have already adopted a plane ticket tax, to be launched in 2006. The Paris conference on innovative mechanisms must be a new step in this process, by gathering together all the States which support this process. In September 2005, a broad coalition of civil society organisations representing

in the Economist. The article is called "Waist banned", and deals with a possible enforcement of a junk food tax in the United States. This kind of tax is also known as a Pigouvian tax, Pigou being a 20th century economist. First I'm going to introduce you to the concept of Pigouvian taxes, second we'll talk about its underlying rationale, third we'll try to wonder whether a fat tax will - or not - really changes behaviours, and last but not least we will focus on the theory's flaws.
