Fiscal Equalization and Decentralized Tax Enforcement
We study tax evasion and decentralized tax enforcement in a federal economy with mobile capital and the endogenous formation of multiregional companies. Regions use their enforcement policy as a strategic instrument to engage in fiscal competition. Within this framework, we analyze the uncoordinated policy choice under formula apportionment (FA) and compare it to the incentives which derive fro...
متن کاملTax Enforcement and Tax Havens under Formula Apportionment
In this paper, we consider optimal tax enforcement policy in the presence of pro t shifting towards tax havens. We show that, under separate accounting, tax enforcement levels may be too high due to negative scal externalities. In contrast, under formula apportionment, tax enforcement is likely to be too low due to positive externalities of tax enforcement. Our results challenge recent contrib...
متن کاملAgglomeration , tax competition , and fiscal equalization
This paper analyzes the impact of fiscal equalization on asymmetric tax competition when positive agglomeration externalities are present. It shows that equalization of standardized tax revenue improves the spatial allocation of capital provided that agglomeration externalities are sufficiently strong. JEL Classification: R12, H71, H73.
متن کاملThe Incentive Effect of Fiscal Equalization Transfers on Tax Policy
A theoretical analysis considers the impact of a typical system of redistributive “fiscal equalization” transfers on the taxing effort of local jurisdictions. More specifically, it shows that the marginal contribution rate, i.e. the rate at which an increase in the tax base reduces those transfers, might be positively associated with the local tax rate while the volume of grants received is lik...
