Federal excise taxes on gasoline vary widely across the developed world. The United States has the lowest taxes at USD $0.40 per gallon (or Â£0.07 per liter), Canada has taxes of $0.60 per gallon, Japan and much of Europe is $2.00 per gallon, while Britain has the highest tax at $2.83 a gallon or Â£0.5 per liter. If gasoline taxes are intended to reduce the time losses from road congestion in urban environments and gasoline pre-tax costs about Â£0.40 per liter, why might the optimal tax in Canada be 50 percent higher than in the United States? What would be an explanation for why adjacent countries would have such different estimates of the price elasticity of demand for auto driving?16

Consider the following supply and demand function, QD = 65 − 2P and QS = 1.5P − 5, and assume a $17.50 excise tax is collected from consumers. (a) Calculate price and quantity in this market before (P1 and Q1) and after the tax (P2 and Q2). (b) What is the amount of tax revenue that is collected from con- sumers, producers and in total? (c) What is the relative tax burden of consumers and producers? (d) Show how the elasticity of supply and demand determine the shar- ing of the tax burden. (e) What is the relative tax burden of producers and consumers if the tax is collected from producers, instead?
‘Exit tax’ to hit South Africans looking to emigrate from 2022When ceasing their South African tax residency, taxpayers are subject to an ‘exit tax’ which forms part of the emigration process.However, the National Treasury has proposed a further tax on those who intend to permanently leave South African shores, say tax experts at specialist advisory firm Tax Consulting SA.“In the National Treasury’s latest published Draft Tax Bills, which incorporates the tax proposals made in the 2021 budget, the amendment proposes to tax retirement fund interests of individuals when they cease South African tax residency,” the firm said. Suppose that currently, the South African economy is in an expansionary phase. The proposed “Exit tax” by the National Treasury would resemble which of the following macroeconomic schools of thought?a) Keynesian theoryb) Classical theoristsc) Marxist economicsd) Monetarist economics

The negative income tax has been proposed as a means The negative income tax has been proposed as a means of increasing both the efficiency and the equity of Canada’s tax system (see Applying Economic Concepts 18-1 on page 465). The most basic NIT can be described by two variables: the guaranteed annual income and the marginal tax rate. Suppose the guaranteed annual income is $8000 and the marginal tax rate on every dollar earned is 35 percent. With this NIT, after-tax income is given by After-tax income = 8000 + (1 – 0.35) X (Earned income) a. On a scale diagram with after-tax income on the vertical axis and earned income on the horizontal axis, draw the NIT relationship between earned income and after-tax income. b. What is the level of income at which taxes paid on earned income exactly equal the guaranteed annual income? c. The average tax rate is equal to total net taxes paid divided by earned income. Provide an algebraic expression for the average tax…

A4 Consider a linear income tax system in which one’s tax owed to government, T, depends on one’s income, I, according to the formula T = a + tI, where 0 < t < 1, and a is a constant. (a) What is the marginal tax rate (MTR)? Does the MTR change with income? (b) What is the average tax rate (ATR) when the income level is I? (c) If the income tax is progressive, then what can you say about the value of a?
Indirect taxes: Definition Explain why governments impose indirect taxes. Distinguish between specific and ad valorem taxes. Draw diagrams to show specific and ad valorem taxes, and analyze their impacts on market outcomes. Discuss the consequences of imposing an indirect tax on the stakeholders in a market, including consumers, producers and the government (EVALUATE). Explain, using diagrams, how the incidence of indirect taxes on consumers and firms differs, depending on the price elasticity of demand and on the price elasticity of supply. Calculate the effects on markets and stakeholders of indirect taxes

1. Determine burden of the tax under different demand conditions (i.e., when demand is D 1 andwhen demand is D 2 ). Who gets most of the burden of the tax under different demandconditions?2. Prove that the increase (or change) in the price is dependent on the elasticity of demandand supply, under different demand conditions (i.e., when demand is D 1 and when demandis D 2 ).3. What tax revenue is expected by the government if the demand for cigarettes is D 1 ? Is D 2 ?
