Book Description
A central requirement in the rapid movement of German Democratic Republic (GDR) toward a market economy is the introduction of a market-oriented tax system. The paper highlights the main features of the traditional socialist tax structure of the GDR and the current tax structure of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). Arguments for an adequate short-term tax reform in the GDR are developed in two scenarios, contrasting the approach of taking over the FRG tax system (adoption scenario) and an autonomous tax reform in the GDR (reform scenario). Both scenarios recommend a flexible adjustment approach which anticipates the medium-term development of the German tax system pursuant to domestic reform requirements, international tax harmonization and fiscal federalism.

Tax Policy, Leverage and Macroeconomic Stability
Author: International Monetary Fund. Fiscal Affairs Dept.
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1498345204
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 78
Book Description
Risks to macroeconomic stability posed by excessive private leverage are significantly amplified by tax distortions. ‘Debt bias’ (tax provisions favoring finance by debt rather than equity) has increased leverage in both the household and corporate sectors, and is now widely recognized as a significant macroeconomic concern. This paper presents new evidence of the extent of debt bias, including estimates for banks and non-bank financial institutions both before and after the global financial crisis. It presents policy options to alleviate debt bias, and assesses their effectiveness. The paper finds that thin capitalization rules restricting interest deductibility have only partially been able to address debt bias, but that an allowance for corporate equity has generally proved effective. The paper concludes that debt bias should feature prominently in countries’ tax reform plans in the coming years.
