The most significant tax overhaul bill in over thirty years was enacted in 2017 and expected to have wide-ranging effects. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act includes numerous policies that directly and indirectly impact the higher education sector and the effect to endowments was not addressed in the public debate leading up to enactment. Unlike expendable gifts, a reduction in endowment contributions has a cumulative effect because a gift to an endowment can benefit all subsequent years. Each year following a contribution, investment income earned on the original gift is available for spending and benefits escalate over time in amount, assuming the value of the original gift continues to grow. The purpose of this study is to analyze precisely the direct and indirect impact of personal income tax regulations on the charitable sector. It will do so by disaggregating data to delineate clearly the differential consequences that distinguish higher education from other components of the broad charitable sector umbrella. A model is developed to predict the erosion of endowment wealth following a decrease in contributions due to tax policy using panel data from a previous ten-year period assuming the tax policy was first effective beginning in year one. The erosion of overall endowment wealth is gradual, and subsectors of higher education are predicted to experience varying rates of attrition. Regression analysis is then used on giving by source data to institutional and endowment characteristics indicative of greater reliance on contributions from individuals to the endowment; the results are suggestive but inconclusive.

Distribution tables have become ubiquitous to the tax policy debates surrounding major legislative initiatives to change tax law at the federal level. The fairness of any proposed change to federal tax policy has become one of the most highlighted components of tax policy discussions. The presentation of tax data within distribution tables can hide or omit important information that is required in order to effectively evaluate the merits of any tax legislation. Many producers of distribution tables show only the information necessary to present their policy preferences in the best possible light. The different economic assumptions and presentations of data used by the various groups that release distribution tables have the inherent consequence of providing the public with numerous tables that are often used as political ammunition to influence and shape debate. The purpose of this research is to contribute to the tax policy research literature by exploring the limitations and biases inherent in specific designs of tax distribution tables and in specific methodological approaches to tax distribution analysis. This is done by means of a systematic examination of how different designs and methodologies provide an incomplete picture of a proposed change to federal tax policy. By comparing distribution tables as used by different groups to provide alternative perspectives of various tax proposals, the research shows how the use of tax distribution tables often provides misleading results about the impact of proposed tax legislation in order to influence and shape the issues surrounding a proposed change to federal tax policy. A method for evaluating tax distribution tables is proposed which highlights the deficiencies of design and methodology which characterize the present use of tax distribution tables. An index of questions is provided as part of this research project to serve as a new tool of policy analysis, an index termed the "Tax Distribution Table Scoring Index" (TDTSI). The TDTSI will assist in balancing the different perspectives presented via tax distribution tables by identifying the biases and limitations associated with different methodologies and presentations of data. / Ph.

Esta investigación se fundamenta en determinar las consecuencias de la cultura tributaria en la evasión de impuestos por parte de los comerciantes de la ciudad de Chiclayo, este estudio pretende entender situaciones reales que atraviesa el país ya que existe un índice de nivel alto de ausencia de cultura tributaria y evasión fiscal por los comerciantes que no cumplen voluntariamente con sus contribuciones, debido a que muchos de ellos están en un régimen que no les corresponde, otros por la falta de conocimiento y educación respecto al pago de impuesto, otra razón es la inexistencia de fiscalización por parte de la Administración Tributaria, ambas situaciones producen decaimiento en el arca fiscal. Se ejecutó la información a través de una encuesta y se procesó mediante un sistema informático de SSPS para determinar el nivel de conocimiento y obtener respuestas de las diferentes posturas que optan por no pagar a pesar de saber cuáles son esas sanciones interpuestas por el ente recaudador. El diseño de investigación es no experimental de tipo transaccional, su población fue constituida por comerciantes del mercado modelo, según los resultados obtenidos se determinó que existe un bajo nivel tributario, puesto que no se realizan los pagos de manera voluntaria y ausencia de documentos que acrediten compras y ventas, se utilizó la prueba de correlación de Rho de Spearman, mostrando un coeficiente de 0.702 el cual indica que existe relación entre variables. / This research is based on determining the consequences of tax culture on tax evasion by merchants in the City of Chiclayo. This study aims to understand real situations that the country is going through since there is a high level of absence of culture. tax and tax evasion by merchants who do not voluntarily comply with their contributions, because many of them are in a regime that does not correspond to them, others due to the lack of knowledge and education regarding the payment of tax, another reason is the lack of inspection by the Tax Administration, both situations produce decline in the fiscal coffer; The information was carried out through a survey and processed through an SSPS computer system to determine the level of knowledge and obtain responses from the different positions that choose not to pay, despite knowing what the sanctions imposed by the collecting entity are. . The research design is nonexperimental of a transactional type, its population was made up of merchants from the model market, according to the results obtained it was determined that there is a low tax level, since payments are not made voluntarily and absence of documents that prove purchases and sales, Spearman's Rho correlation test was used, showing a coefficient of 0.702 which indicates that there is a relationship between variables.

The analyze compared the inflation target and its coordination with the others economy policies and the results in Brazil with the aspects and targets of the economy policies and the coordination in the post-keynesian view, different from them of the inflation target. There were identified and analyzed the results and advantages for the brazilian economy in terms of economy growth, to identify the priorities and arguments. The main result of this comparation was the evidence found in the execution of the monetary policy that the target should be obtained anyway despite of its costs to the real economy and economy growth. As the post Keynesian got more attention and more importance and prudence in the manipulation of the interest taxes and the inflation control, to not harm the real economy with the employment, investment and production. It was believed that the flexibility of the policy were more essential to its performance than the rigidity which the inflationary target performed their policies, given the importance on being prepared to performed according with the situation of the moment / O presente trabalho analisou as principais características do Regime de Metas de Inflação em suas características gerais e no Brasil, abrangendo seus resultados e seus principais pontos de atenção. A análise contemplou a comparação do Regime de Metas e sua coordenação com outras políticas econômicas e seus resultados no Brasil com as premissas e objetivos das políticas econômicas e coordenação na visão dos pós-keynesianos, contrários ao regime de metas. Foram levantados e analisados os resultados e os benefícios para a economia brasileira em termos de crescimento econômico, para identificar as respectivas prioridades e argumentos.O principal resultado dessa comparação foi a evidência encontrada na execução do regime no Brasil de que a meta de inflação deveria ser obtida a todo custo independentemente do impacto que poderia resultar na economia real e no crescimento econômico. Enquanto que a visão pós-keynesiana dedicava mais atenção e atribuía maior importância à cautela na manipulação da taxa de juros e no controle da inflação, para não prejudicar a economia real, nas variáveis como a taxa de emprego, investimento e produção. Acreditava-se que a flexibilidade da política era essencial para seu desempenho, em vez da rigidez com a qual o regime de metas executava suas políticas, dada a importância de se poder atuar de acordo com a situação do momento

Partindo da Teoria Pós-Keynesiana, o objetivo desta Tese, composta de três Ensaios, é analisar a política fiscal do estado subnacional Rio Grande do Sul de 1995 a 2014 e o desempenho da dívida renegociada com a União. O primeiro Ensaio aborda a política fiscal de administração dos gastos públicos do Estado, identificando se os investimentos públicos foram usados como política anticíclica, de acordo com as contribuições de Keynes (1980) sobre orçamentos segregados em corrente e de capital e de Minsky (1986) sobre o Big Government. Os números analisados mostram que as receitas correntes arrecadadas e as despesas correntes executadas aumentaram respectivamente 3,2% e 4,2% ao ano no período, o que sinaliza para a formação de um desequilíbrio estrutural corrente. A diferença entre as perdas de ICMS das exportações (Lei Kandir) e a compensação do Estado aumentou e a participação do Estado nas receitas da União cresceu em média 0,8% ao ano no período. Neste último caso, ocorreu uma reversão, elevando-se a cota-parte do RS no FPE e diminuindo a cota-parte do IPI exportações. Os dados indicam que a média anual de investimentos públicos oscilou. Eles caíram no início e aumentaram no final dos mandatos de cada um dos governadores do período, o que caracteriza ciclos políticos. Os acréscimos mais significativos de investimentos públicos ocorreram apenas quando o Estado contou com fontes extraordinárias de receitas, como privatizações, aumento de impostos, venda de ações ou operações de crédito. Para comprovar se a política fiscal foi anticíclica, desenvolveu-se o Índice Minskyano de Governo (iMG), que mede a relação entre a variação do déficit e dos investimentos públicos. No período, o iMG aponta que apenas em 2003 e 2008, com as taxas do PIB do RS em desaceleração, e 2005 e 2009, com as taxas do PIB negativas, o Estado executou uma política anticíclica de investimentos públicos. Porém, ela foi tímida, denominada de Small Government. O segundo Ensaio verifica se as propostas de política tributária do Estado de 1995 a 2014 coincidem com as apontadas por Keynes (1964), quais sejam: melhorar a capacidade de gastos do governo; reduzir impostos sobre consumo e investimentos para aumentar a demanda agregada; e elevar os tributos sobre a renda e a herança para diminuir a desigualdade. Pela política tributária realizada no período, percebe-se que apenas a primeira foi confirmada. Não há informações suficientes que comprovem a segunda. E sobre a terceira, houve até um retrocesso, com a diminuição do número de alíquotas do imposto sobre herança. Partindo da hipótese da fragilidade financeira de Minsky (1975, 1986, 1992), o terceiro Ensaio faz uma análise do fluxo de caixa da dívida pública do RS com a União, que foi renegociada em 1998 num cenário de avanço das políticas neoliberais no Brasil. Para isso foi proposto o Índice de fragilidade financeira da dívida pública (IFFDP). Com frequência mensal, o IFFDP aponta que a dívida pública do RS teve uma estrutura Ponzi de novembro de 1998 a fevereiro de 1999 e de abril de 2000 a agosto de 2003, períodos em que o indexador da dívida, o IGP-Di, sofreu fortes elevações, sobretudo pela volatilidade da taxa de câmbio. De março de 1999 a março de 2000 e de setembro de 2003 a maio de 2013, o Índice caracterizou-se como especulativo. Apenas a partir de junho de 2013, o IFFDP passou a ser considerado hedge, ou seja, o fluxo de caixa tem certa margem de segurança. / Based on the Post-Keynesian theory, the aim of this Theses, composed by three Essays, is to analyze the fiscal policy of the subnational state of Rio Grande do Sul from 1995 to 2014 as well as the development of the negotiated debit with the union. The First Essay approaches the fiscal policy of the public expenditure administration of the state, identifying if the public investments were used as anticyclical policies, according to Keynes’ contributions (1980) about budgets segregated into current and capital and according to Minsky’s contributions (1986) about the Big Government. The analyzed numbers show that the collected current revenues and the executed current expenses increase respectively 3,2% and 4,2% a year in the period, which signalizes a current structural unbalance formation. The differences among the losses of ICMS on exportations (Lei Kandir) and the State compensation increased and the State participation in the Union revenues increased on average 0.8% a year in the period. In the latter case, a reversion has occurred, increasing the quota-part of RS at FPE and decreasing the quota-part of exportations IPI. The data indicate that the annual average of public investments has oscillated. They fell at the beginning and increased at the end of each governor’s mandate in the period, which characterizes political cycles. The most significant increases of public investments occurred only when the State counted on extraordinary revenues sources, such as privatizations, taxes increases, stocks selling or credit operations. In order to prove if the fiscal policy was anticyclical, the Government Minskano Index (iMG) was developed, which measures the relation between the deficit variation and the public investments. However, it was timid, denominated Small Government, based on the Minsky’s contributions. The Second Essay verifies if the tax policy propositions of the State from 1998 to 2014 coincide with the ones pointed by Keynes (1964), as follows: to improve the government capacity of expenses; to decrease taxes on consume and investments in order to increase the aggregated demand; and to elevate the tributes over the income and the inheritance in order to decrease the inequality. Through the tax policy realized in the period, it is possible to perceive that only the first one was confirmed. There is no enough information which proves the second one. And about the third one, there was even a retreat, with the decreasing of the number of tax on inheritance aliquots. Assuming the financial instability hypothesis proposed by Minsky (1975, 1986, 1992), the Third Essay examines the cash flow of RS’s public debt with the Union, which was renegotiated in 1998 in an advance scenario of neoliberal policies in Brazil. For this reason, the Financial Fragility of the Public Debt Index (IFFDP) was purposed. With a monthly frequency, the IFIPD points out that the RS’s public debt had a Ponzi structure from November 1998 to February 1999 and from April 2000 to August 2003, periods in which the debt indexer, the IGP-Di, suffered severe elevations, especially by the volatility of the exchange rate. From March 1999 to March 2000 and from September 2003 to May 2013, the index was characterized as speculative. Only since June 2013 the IFFDP has been considered hedge, i.e., the cash flow has certain margin of safety.

政府為吸引外國直接投資(foreign direct investment)至本國，通常對於所有外國直接投資均給予租稅上的優惠以作為誘因。事實上，有些外資並未為本國帶來正的外溢效果。如 Haddad 與 Harrison(1993)的實證研究發現，當外資被吸引至國內的被保護產業時，則其生產力的外溢效果很小。而 Chao 與 Yu(1997)更探討關於對外資課稅的福利效果。不過，迄今文獻尚未探討在國際規模經濟下對外資課稅或補貼的福利含意。因此，本文擬探討如果政府的外資租稅優惠政策是選擇性針對具有「國際規模經濟」(international scale economies)特性的產業，其對本國、外國及全球福利的影響。 「國際規模經濟」一詞是由 Ethier(1982)所提出，為外部規模經濟(external economies of scales)型態一種，其係指由於中間投入的國際化專業分工而產生的規模經濟。而 Ethier 之所以提出此種與傳統規模經濟不同的「國際規模經濟」理論，是鑒於近代國際貿易已由中間財貨貿易凌駕最終財貨貿易之事實與趨勢。在專業化的中間財自由貿易下，每一個國家將產生一個正的技術外部效果給其貿易夥伴，而此正的技術外部效果即屬國際規模經濟。 由本文的研究結果得知，當資本要素的國際性移動，促使全球的國際規模經濟產業擴展，則全球福利將提高。因此，當本國採取對外資的補貼政策而影響資本要素的國際性移動時，此舉需使全球的國際規模經濟部門規模增加，才能提高全球福利。若全球福利提高，但不一定保證個別的本國與外國的福利亦均改善。在國際規模經濟下，假如本國的補貼支出很小，則即使本國在負的貿易條件效果下，仍可能使本國的福利提高，因為本國有國際規模經濟之利益。假如本國的補貼支出很大，但如果本國的國際規模報酬極大，足以彌補補貼支出，則本國福利仍可能提高。相對地，若外國獲得的投資所得與補貼收入能彌補因資本流失導致的國際規模報酬損失，則外國福利亦能提高。

新企業所得稅法實施後，內外資企業所得稅法被統一，不一致的情形被消弭，稅收優惠的政策也從對外資企業的普遍優惠制轉變成以產業為導向。凡此種種改變，皆對中國大陸上市企業之有效稅率產生影響。本文以2003年-2010年中國大陸上市企業的財務資料做實證研究。 本文主要研究的課題有三：一、探討新企業所得稅法實施前後稅前扣除規定對有效稅率的影響；二、新企業所得稅法中規定的反資本弱化條款對企業有效稅率是否有影響？；三、內外資企業所得稅兩稅合一之後，各地區是否仍有顯著的稅境差異？ 第一個課題用兩個變數來捕捉，一個是薪資費用，一個是營運費用。薪資費用在內外資企業所得稅兩稅合一前與有效稅率為負相關。本文推論該情形因為高階管理人員的薪資沒有正常列報，而可能的原因有三：一、租稅規劃原因，二、避免薪酬過高引起社會各界關注，故分配在各個關係企業，三、國家對國有企業的高階管理人薪資有限制。 營運費用在內外資企業所得稅兩稅合一前與有效稅率為正相關，與假說預計情況相同。這部分可用財稅差異的觀點來解釋。而內外資企業所得稅兩稅合一之後，應納稅所得額的計算規則更為公平合理，故營運費用對有效稅率的影響為負相關。第二個課題是討論資本弱化條款的問題。內外資企業所得稅兩稅合一之後，該變數之係數呈現顯著正相關，代表中國大陸在內外資企業所得稅兩稅合一之後，反避稅措施的實施已然有些成效。 第三個課題是稅境差異的問題。本文地區性虛擬變數的設置以西部地區為對照組。內外資企業所得稅兩稅合一之前，較明顯享受稅收優惠政策的地區是西部地區與經濟特區，故東部地區與中部地區的係數顯著為正，而經濟地區呈現不顯著的狀態。內外資企業所得稅兩稅合一之後，地區別的稅收優惠政策只剩下西部地區中的鼓勵類產業才能享受，而實證結果也明確顯示中國大陸政府預期的結果。 / After new enterprise income tax law enacted , income tax law applicable to both domestic and foreign-owned enterprise are unified,the difference between those income tax law are gone. The new law scraps the original emphasis on regional incentives in favor of industry-oriented incentives supplemented by regional ones . All of these changes affect corporate effective tax rates of China Listed companies . This study used the sample of china listed companies spanning from 2003-2010. This study have three main topics : First, to discuss how the pre-tax deduction rules affect corporate effective tax rates before and after implementation of the new law. Second, does the anti-thin capitalization rule in the new law have some effect to corporate effective tax rates? Third, after implementation of the new law,are there still big difference between regions? This study used two variables to examine first topic-salary expense and operating expense. Salary expense had a negative correlation with corporate effective tax rates before implementation of the new law. I consider it came from salary information disclosure of senior executives which could be explained in three ways. First, tax planning purpose. Second, in case of drawing attention from publics, part of salary were paid by affiliated companys. Third,the country imposed caps on senior executive pay in state-owned enterprises. Operating expense had a positive relation with corporate effective tax rates before implementation of the new law which is the same as hypothesis. It could be explained in terms of book-tax differences. After implementation of the new law, rules for computation taxable income are more fair and reasonable. As a result, operating expense has a negative relation with corporate effective tax rates. The second topic discuss about anti-thin capitalization rule.After implementation of the new law, the variable standing for anti-thin capitalization rule is significantly positively correlated with corporate effective tax rates.It represents that, after implementation of the new law, China authorities make progress in anti-tax avoidance. The third topic is about tax burden between regions. This study used western region as a control group. Before implementation of the new law, preferential tax policies were subject to western region and Special Economic Zones. For this reason, the region dummy variables—central China and east China were significantly positively correlated with corporate effective tax rates, but the coefficient of western region dummy variable did not reach statistical significance. After implemention of the new law, preferential tax policies is subject only to domestic enterprises belonging to the category encouraged by the State in western region. The empirical results conform to the anticipation of China authorities.

Procura-se descrever os efeitos restritivos deste ajuste fiscal a partir da inadequada coordenação da política fiscal e monetária. A política fiscal tornou-se subordinada à monetária, exigindo robustos superávits primários atrelados à ascendente e excessiva carga tributária. O orçamento, no entanto, permaneceu registrando déficit nominal. A maior parte das despesas públicas corresponde às despesas financeiras (juros e encargos da dívida). A política econômica e as medidas macroeconômicas tomadas no âmbito do ajuste fiscal no período que se trata provocaram a queda do multiplicador de gastos que, por sua vez, inibiu a geração de emprego, renda e consumo. A reflexão sobre a mensuração da carga tributária permite desenvolver uma análise crítica e descritiva do ajuste fiscal num contexto de dominância monetária e estabelecer o vínculo entre as decisões do governo, nas matérias fiscal e monetária, com o setor produtivo. Conseqüentemente, isso repercutiu sobre o nível de investimento e de reinvestimento na economia / This research aims to examine the effects of fiscal adjustment in the Brazilian economy during the period 1994 to 2008 on the chain. It seeks to describe the restrictive effects of fiscal adjustment from the inadequate coordination of monetary and fiscal policy. Fiscal policy has become subject to monetary policy, requiring robust primary surpluses and tied up the excessive tax burden. The budget, however, remained recording nominal deficit. Most public expenditure meets the financial expenses (interest and debt charges). The economic policy and the macroeconomic measures taken in the context of fiscal adjustment in the period that this precipitated the collapse multiplier of expenses that, in turn, inhibited the generation of employment, income and consumption. The discussion on the measurement of tax burden can develop a descriptive and critical analysis of fiscal adjustment in a context of monetary dominance and establish a link between the government decisions in matters fiscal and monetary policy, with the productive sector. Consequently, this impacted on the level of investment and reinvestment in the economy

Tax Law attempts to regulate the majority of possible circumstances, in order to achieve an effective taxing on what requires be taxed. Being the acquisition of recreational boats an increasingly frequent phenomenon, it’s necessary to apply the Tax to Recreational Boats and to understand this tax in the light of the Peruvian legislation. On this occasion, the author analyzes the current situation of the imposition to these movable goods, through the interpretation and even questioning of its legal basis: the Law of Municipal Taxation and the regulation of the Tax to Recreational Boats. / El Derecho Tributario intenta regular la mayoría de circunstancias posibles para gravar efectivamente aquello que requiera imposición. Siendo la adquisición de embarcaciones de recreo un fenómeno cada vez más frecuente, surge la necesidad de aplicar el Impuestoa las Embarcaciones de Recreo y de entender esta carga a la luz de la normativa peruana. En esta oportunidad, el autor analiza la situación actual de la imposición a estos bienes muebles, a través de la interpretación de su base legal: La Ley de Tributación Municipal yel Reglamento del Impuesto a las Embarcaciones de Recreo.
