Program Description
Crafting and proposing tax changes can quickly turn into a political debate and pointless statements such as I don't like it, I like it, or it's a giveaway to the [fill in the blank]. Analyzing existing rules and proposals against principles of good tax policy can lead to a more objective discussion and hopefully crafting of more effective tax rules and systems. These principles include equity, simplicity and neutrality. Consideration of trends, data and a jurisdiction's economic, societal and environmental goals also helps. This webinar reviews principles of good tax policy, and frameworks for discussing problems with existing rules and strengths and weaknesses of proposals. Examples are provided as well as suggestions for using this information to help improve our tax systems.
