The Story Of The Separate Corporate Income Tax: A Vehicle For Regulating Corporate Managers, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
The Story Of The Separate Corporate Income Tax: A Vehicle For Regulating Corporate Managers, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
Book Chapters
The corporate income tax is under attack. The former Secretary of the Treasury has announced that it should be abolished, and the current drive to eliminate the taxation of dividends can be seen as the first step toward that goal. A significant number of tax academics have argued for repeal of the tax. Other academics have urged radical reform of the tax. And no serious academic has in recent years mounted a convincing normative defense of why this cumbersome tax should be retained.
And yet it does not seem likely that the corporate tax will be repealed any time soon. …

In July of 1999, the Justice Department entered into a plea bargain with one John M. Mathewson of San Antonio, Texas. Mr. Mathewson was accused of money laundering through the Guardian Bank and Trust Co. Ltd., a Cayman Islands bank.

In return for a reduced sentence, Mr. Mathewson turned over the names of the persons who had accounts at Guardian. The result was an eye-opener: The majority of the accounts were beneficially owned by U.S. citizens, and the reason they …

The Wto, Export Subsidies, And Tax Competition, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
Book Chapters
From its beginnings late in the 19th century, the modem state has been financed primarily by progressive income taxation. The income tax differs from other forms of taxation (such as consumption or social security taxes) in that in theory it includes income from capital in the tax base, even if it is saved and not consumed. Because the rich save more than the poor, a tax that includes income from capital in its base is more progressive (taxes the rich more heavily) than a tax that excludes income from capital (e.g., a consumption tax or a payroll tax). However, the …
