Tax Home Tax Policy Group's Newsletter Internet Tax Task Force Accomplishments Major Federal Tax Reform Project of the Tax Policy Group Flat tax, value added tax, national retail sales tax, repeal of the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution - what might all of this mean to Silicon Valley? To help answer this question, Joint Venture's Council on Tax and Fiscal Policy has undertaken a long-term project to study the major federal tax reform and its possible impact on Silicon Valley and to provide information on this topic to interested people in Silicon Valley. Major federal tax reform has significant implications for businesses and individuals in Silicon Valley, as well as for state and local governments. Thus, it is an ideal issue for Joint Venture to pursue. Activities to date: Major Federal Tax Reform Symposium: In September 1995, Joint Venture co-sponsored, along with the Santa Clara Valley chapter of TEI and the College of Business at SJSU , a full-day symposium on the technical and economic aspects of the current reform proposals as well as tax reform in general. Featured speakers were J.D. Foster, executive director of the Tax Foundation in Washington, D.C. and California State Treasurer, Matt Fong who is also a member of the National Commission on Economic Growth and Tax Reform ("Kemp Commission").

April 1996 The Reagan Tax Cuts: Lessons for Tax Reform ] similar across-the-board tax cuts had been implemented in the 1920s as the Mellon tax cuts, and in the 1960s as the Kennedy tax cuts. In both cases the reduction of high marginal tax rates actually increased tax payments by "the rich," also increasing their share of total individual income taxes paid. Unfortunately, estimates of ERTA by the Democrat-controlled CBO continued to show falling tax payment by upper income taxpayers, even after actual IRS data had become available showing a surge of income tax payments by affluent taxpayers.

Return Home Tax Reform Benefits Everyone by Norbert Michel We could learn something from France and Germany. No, not on Iraq. Both nations, alas, seem content to let Saddam Hussein play cat-and-mouse games with U.N. weapons inspectors. But when it comes to taxes, they made a move more than a decade ago that U.S. policy-makers would do well to emulate: They cut taxes on dividends. Here’s one area France and Germany agree with President Bush. He has included a dividend tax cut in his latest economic proposal, confident that it will spark long-term growth. In fact, the president goes our European allies one better, saying we should eliminate altogether the second layer of taxation that our government imposes on corporate earnings. Critics say such a move would help only the rich. But ending the double taxation of dividends would benefit millions of Americans, not just an elite class of investors. Stock ownership is much more common today than it used to be. Roughly 84 million Americans now own equities, either directly or in tax-deferred retirement plans. It’s true that, under the Bush plan, people with equities in retirement plans wouldn’t receive tax credits for their dividends. But to say they gain nothing at all is misleading. A share of, say, Microsoft stock owned in an IRA is the same as a share of Microsoft owned directly. If stock prices rise as a result of a dividend tax cut and that’s exactly what we can expect then every individual who owns stock, directly or through a retirement plan, will benefit.

Return Home Issues 2002: Tax Reform for Economic Growth by Andrew Olivastro WebMemo #162 Taxes, as a share of gross domestic product (GDP the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States), have remained fairly constant over time, hovering around 18% to 21% of GDP. Q: Why then has Washington, D.C., gone from talk of surpluses to deficits, with federal revenue charts looking like mountain ranges, with erratic peaks and valleys? A: Because the economy drives the budget, not the other way around. Picture GDP as a pie. Eighteen percent of a huge pie is considerably more than 18 percent of a small pie. Therefore a larger and more robust economy will result in more federal revenue. Q: What policies would create a more robust economy? A: Lower tax rates create better economic conditions. It’s simple: lower tax rates = more robust economy = more federal revenue. Tax relief will boost the economy's performance. To energize a soft economy, lawmakers should seek far larger reductions in the tax penalties that are imposed on productive behavior. The higher the rate, the steeper the penalty.

Martz/Ohs Administration Tax Plan Announcement For questions, comments, suggestions or further information, please contact the Department of Revenue at: taxreform@state.mt.us GOVERNOR MARTZ' TAX REFORM PLAN FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS February 2003 The Governor announced a three-part tax reform plan on April 15, 2002, as part of her overall economic development plan to create good paying jobs for Montana families. The following are frequently asked questions and answers regarding the Governor's tax reform plan and the work of the three Advisory Councils created to make recommendations to the Governor about the plan. The Tax Plan Will Eliminate Barriers to Good-Paying Job Creation in Montana The purpose of the Governor's Tax Reform Plan is to eliminate the biggest tax barriers to the creation of good paying jobs for Montana families. The biggest tax barriers are Montana's income tax rates, which are the highest in the country, and our effective capital gains rates, which are the highest in the region. Why do high income tax rates matter? They cause major respected financial publications like Bloomberg and Kiplinger to rank Montana as having among the highest tax burdens in the country, encouraging entrepreneurs and business people to leave the state or never come in the first place. Why do high capital gains rates matter? They discourage investors and business people from coming to Montana because they will pay this high tax when they sell their investment, rental house, business, farm, ranch, or other capital asset.

All Policy documents Eco-Tax Reform Policy - Cleaning up our Tax System Ratified 11th July 2002 For further information, contact Jeanette Fitzsimons MP , Green Party or the Policy Co-convenors, policy@greens.org.nz It’s time for fresh thinking on tax. Arguments go back and forward about how to tax our incomes but no one seems to ask if there is an alternative. No one except the Green Party. Ecological tax reform is a simple idea: shift taxes off work and enterprise, and onto waste, pollution and scarce resources. Those who waste and those who pollute, pay more. Clean business pays less and everyone pays less income tax. It’s common sense if we want a sustainable economy, and it’s happening now in many European countries. Ecological tax reform is gradual process, and needs to be worked through with all concerned. That’s part of Green thinking too. But we have clear proposals on how to start with a new idea for income tax cuts and proposals for investing more in our nation. A new idea for income tax cuts $15 per week extra in the hand.

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 The Tax Reform Act of 1986 was one of the major accomplishments initiated by the Reagan Administration, passed by a Democratic House and Republican Senate. One of the most important pieces of tax legislation since WWII, it sought to "level the playing field" by curbing tax shelters, lowering corporate tax rates, and eliminating special treatment for capital gains. Thereafter, capital gains, earned income, and unearned income were all taxed at the same rate. In economists' language, it brought the average marginal tax rates on labor and capital income closer together. Since 1986, other tax legislation has again increased taxation on earned income to a higher rate than that on capital gains, which again received preferential status. While the top rate on capital gains remained at 28%, the top earned income tax rate was increased to 31% in 1991 in a package endorsed by President Bush as a tactic for addressing burgeoning federal deficits. This violated his "Read my lips...No new taxes." campaign pledge as was thought to be a factor underlying his defeat in the 1992 elections. In 1993, under President Clinton, the earned income rate climbed even higher, to 39.6%. Other features of the Tax Reform Act of 1986: Tax cut . The top marginal tax rate on wealthiest individuals was reduced 44% (from 50% percent to 28%). The marginal rates for leass wealthy individuals were also reduced, but not by as high a percentage. Tax reductions were said by some critics to underly the massive mushrooming of the federal deficit during the Reagan administration.

Jeb Bush would ever approve a tax increase finally have their answer: Yes, so long as his fingerprints wouldn't be on it. That's one of the several striking features of the compromise that allowed Senate President John McKay to savor a tax reform victory, let legislators go home for a while, and designed a new congressional district to Speaker Tom Feeney's specifications. The tax deal checks off to a 12-member legislative committee six from each house the power to single out any sales tax exemption for repeal and to initiate a tax on any service, such as haircutting, estate counseling or advertising. The decision of this junta or of the "12-member unicameral Legislature," as lobbyist J.M. "Mac" Stipanovich promptly dubbed it would become law if the Legislature did not rescind it during one of the next two sessions.

Policy Brief #12 February 1997 Tax Reform Is Dead, Long Live Tax Reform A year ago, calls for fundamental tax reform were high on the political agenda. The Kemp commission, Steve Forbes, Richard Armey, Bill Archer, and others argued that the existing tax system needed to be uprooted and replaced with one that was simpler, less intrusive, and more conducive to economic growth. Practical considerations such as transition problems and redistribution of tax burdens silenced, at least temporarily, the effort to uproot the tax system. But now policy has swung too far the other way. Current proposals—for child tax credits, education tax credits, expanded IRAs, and capital gains tax cuts—can only be described as tinkering. They not only give up on the idea of fundamental reform, they largely abandon the widely held goals of reform: a simpler, fairer, more growth-friendly tax system. This is a mistake. In the broad range of options between throwing out the whole system and tinkering with it ad nauseam, there is a time-honored middle course that preserves the principles of tax reform, but does so by modifying the income tax rather than replacing it. Converting itemized deductions to 15 percent tax credits is the key toward principled modification of the income tax. The deductions are unfair, expensive, regressive, and complex. The $50 billion or more raised can be used to eliminate hidden taxes like the phaseouts of personal exemptions and limitations on itemized deductions, the taxes on excess pension accumulations and payouts, and the individual alternative minimum tax (AMT). The extra funds could be used to slash all rates from 28 percent on up. On the business side, slashing corporate subsidies would allow for elimination of the corporate AMT and still leave funds for improving investment incentives or reducing rates.

The Rocky Road to Tax Reform Setting National Priorities: The 2000 Election and Beyond Henry J. Aaron Senior Fellow , William Gale Senior Fellow , and James Sly, Research Assistant , The Brookings Institution Download From the Boston Tea Party through recent revelations of Internal Revenue Service abuses, paying taxes has aroused public passions in the United States. Every president in the past four decades has proposed significant tax changes, and successive Congresses have enacted many tax bills, major and minor. Seemingly endless tinkering has not, alas, bred satisfaction. Almost everyone concurs that the tax system could be improved. But agreement on the nature and severity of the problems and how to resolve them remains elusive.
