The government clearly stated its intention to lower taxes.

In view of these developments, Governments have become more concerned about tax evasion in the international context and the resulting loss of government tax revenues.

When governments think about the difficult task of raising taxes, they usually think about income tax, business taxes, and value added tax (VAT). But there are other taxes that can raise significant amounts of revenue with a much less negative impact on the economy.

People wanted to know what their government was getting in terms of revenue.

The government must not overestimate how much revenue can be gained by the consumption tax increase, and thus how much of the budget hole can be closed. Moreover, it has so far shrugged off any concern that the tax increase might have a chilling effect on consumption, and thus on economic growth.

And actually, private companies help governments with taxes.

These features are rightly called tax expenditures, because they describe the government spending that occurs through the tax code. Eliminating or reducing these tax expenditures should therefore be seen as cutting government spending.

The Ministry of Finance created a Large Taxpayers Unit in March 2004, but corporations are not required to submit audited financial statements to the Unit or the Ministry of Finance, and thus the Government does not have any idea of the number of the corporations and the amount of taxes payable.

Denmark elected a center left government committed to higher government spending financed by new taxes on the rich. And Greece has just voted for a new property tax to help close its yawning fiscal deficit.

But a consumption tax hike is no panacea, particularly given the government s lack of a growth strategy. Although a tax increase will undoubtedly be needed, it is the wrong priority at the moment and could prove counter productive if it causes the economy to decline dramatically.

West Oil claimed that 3.33 million in taxes had been adjusted by the Government on the basis of an agreement from December 2003 that 50 per cent of the taxes on the import of petroleum products would be adjusted against outstanding debt prepayment of taxes of 10 million made to the Taylor Government in 1998.

Property taxes, excise taxes, import duties, and sales taxes all of which are paid, directly or indirectly, by corporations can have a magnified impact on corporate profits, and hence on the stock market. It is no coincidence that wherever stock markets thrive, governments take care that these taxes stop well short of destroying after tax corporate profits.

In its budget for 2004 05, the National Transitional Government of Liberia expected to collect 22 per cent ( 17.28 million) of total Government revenue from corporate and personal income taxes.

Governments should also work to improve tax compliance and reduce evasion, which requires limiting tax officials discretionary authority. Computerizing tax administration, for example, could help to limit corruption by making it more difficult to tamper with records.

Although governments levy taxes on gasoline, they are reluctant to impose a general carbon tax because of public opposition to any form of taxation. Governments have therefore focused on a cap and trade system as a way of increasing the cost of CO2 intensive products without explicitly imposing a tax.

Without a strategy for growth, an effort to reduce government spending, and a policy to stop deflation, a tax hike will not solve the problem. Indeed, some economists fear that a fiscal crisis could erupt even aftera tax hike is passed.

Despite large cuts in marginal income tax rates at the start of the Bush administration, however, job growth between 2000 and 2007 was half the rate of the previous three decades.
