Jurisdiction B’s tax system consists of a 6.5 percent general sales tax on retail goods and selected services. Over the past decade, the average annual volume of sales subject to this tax was $1,100 million. The jurisdiction needs to increase its tax revenues by approximately $11.0 million each year to finance its spending programs. The taxing authorities are considering two alternatives: a 1 percent increase in the sales tax rate or a new 2 percent tax on the net income of corporations doing business in the jurisdiction. Based on recent economic data, the annual net income subject to the new tax would be $575 million. However, the jurisdiction would have to create a new agency responsible for enforcing and collecting the income tax. The estimated annual cost of the agency is $500,000. Jurisdiction B borders four other taxing jurisdictions, all of which have a general sales tax and two of which have a corporate income tax.

One of the initiatives of the Federal government in recent years was to increase the taxation paid by high income earners, while at the same time, not instituting any “tax hikes”. One way this was accomplished was to reduce the basic personal tax credit for individuals with income greater than $151,978 up to an income level of $216,511. In the following situation, you the taxpayer have an income level of $200,709. calculate and present your reduced non-refundable personal tax credit amount below.
We know that there exists both provincial tax and surtax in Ontario. The provincial taxbrackets and the surtax rates are provided below:Part A: How much income results in paying $5,315 as provincial tax? How much incomeleads to a $6,802 provincial tax?Part B: Since the presence of surtax makes the tax system unnecessarily complicated,we decide to eliminate it. However, we don’t want to reduce the amount of tax that theprovincial government collects. Using the two thresholds in Part A, as a result ofeliminating surtax, how would you change the provincial tax table such that eachindividual pays the same amount of tax as before elimination of surtax? Note that numberof tax brackets and the tax rate in each bracket would be modified. Assume there is notax credit.

- Hi, can you explain how does this aspect affects the U.S economy? Tax rates. The new law imposes a new tax rate structure with seven tax brackets: 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and 37%. The top rate was reduced from 39.6% to 37% and applies to taxable income above $500,000 for single taxpayers, and $600,000 for married couples filing jointly. The rates applicable to net capital gains and qualified dividends were not changed. The “kiddie tax” rules were simplified.
