Consequences of the Economic and Monetary Union for the Coordination of Tax Systems in the European Union by Mr.Vito Tanzi,Mr.Howell H. Zee Pdf
With the advent of the economic and monetary union in the European Union (EU), the economic landscape of the EU will bear a striking resemblance to that of the United States in terms of fundamental attributes such as the freedom of internal movements of individuals, capital, and goods within the union, as well as the adoption of a common currency. This paper examines developments in the tax systems of the states in the United States and draws lessons for the need of coordination of EU tax systems.

Effects of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) on Taxation and Interest Spending of National Governments by Mr.Francesco P. Mongelli Pdf
This paper examines the interest spending and taxation channels through which EMU could affect the public finances. It provides a framework for examining different views on a further narrowing of interest rate differentials. A model of Blanchard and Fischer is amended to analyze the two channels, and empirical evidence on the tax harmonization process is presented. The paper argues that “high-debt” and “high-tax” countries pursuing prudent fiscal policies could benefit the most from EMU: if monetary and widespread fiscal discipline are jointly established, interest rates could decline rapidly, while tax harmonization is likely to be gradual.
The Effects of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU)on National Fiscal Sustainability by Mr.Francesco P. Mongelli Pdf
This paper presents a methodology to analyse some of the possible fiscal effects of the EMU. It uses a theoretical tool, the "fiscal sustainability frontiers", and a new fiscal sustainability index. The paper argues that in the EMU the fiscal autonomy will be tightened by the "endogenous fiscal discipline" stemming from the harmonization of tax systems, the loss of current and prospective money financing, and the deepening of financial market-based discipline.
Indirect Taxation Within the Eu - Harmonisation Vs. Competition by Jean Knödel Pdf
Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 1,3, University of Hamburg (Master of Arts European Studies), course: The European Economic and Monetary Union: challenges and perspectives, language: English, abstract: While the economic integration of the EU is already on an advanced level due to the establishment of the Single Market and the European Monetary Union (EMU), it can be stated that some significant fields are lagging behind. Amongst others, the harmonisation of indirect taxes within the EU is a controversial topic (Genschel 2002: 16, Randzio-Plath 1999: 665). Any fiscal harmonisation hardly alludes to the funding basis of the public budget of the several MS. In the range of indirect taxes, value added tax (VAT), which is especially problematic for allocation politics, is already harmonised on a high level, while at the same time other excise duties were harmonised only hesitantly. The aim of this paper is to examine the question of whether there is more harmonisation than competition in the field of indirect taxation in the EU. In general, the paper will deal with the question of what fiscal harmonisation actually is and which consequences can arise from a situation of competition for the government.
Fiscal Policy, Taxation and the Financial System in an Increasingly Integrated Europe by Julian Alworth Pdf
Three major challenges confront European policymakers and financial systems; (1) to preserve and strengthen policy coordination between the countries participating and the European Monetary System; (2) to design the future structure of the Economic and Monetary Union; (3) to implement constructive economic and financial responses to the major economic and political reform in Eastern Europe. The purpose of this book is to present a comprehensive analysis of these challenges, focusing on the relationships between fiscal policies on the one hand and financial systems on the other. The basis for the work is formed by the discussions, which took place at the 16th Colloquium of the Societ Universitaire Europenne de Recherches Financires (SUERF). Private savings and the taxation of income from capital, imbalances in public sector budgets and their impact on financial systems, international resource transfers and the respective roles of governments and private capital flows, and the policy mix in the transition to Economic and Monetary Union are central themes of the book. This collection of papers, authored by members of the university, private financial sector and national and international policymaking communities, is of central importance to policymakers, bankers, financial executives, and academics.
Tax Coordination in the European Community by Sijbren Cnossen Pdf
The results of the work of the Conference on Tax Coordination in the European Community appear at a time when the Community has undertaken, as a priority task, the completion of the internal market. The Commission's programme and proposed timetable for the achievement of that goal are spelt out in the White Paper, which was endorsed by the European Council at Milan in June 1985, an endorsement which was repeated at the Council's subsequent meeting in Luxemburg in December 1985. The Commission wholly endorses the views of the Conference as regards the need for urgent action to remove the grave restrictions on the free movement of the factors of production which continue to exist within the Community. It is the Commission's firm view that only a true dismantling of fiscal frontiers can permit the creation of an area without internal frontiers for which the Single European Act provides. To that end a certain approximation of rates of indirect taxation is indispensable if unacceptable distortion of competition is to be avoided. It is noteworthy that the Conference attaches great importance to the Community's problems in the field of direct taxation. This work will be particularly useful to the Commission, which intends to produce a further White Paper on company taxation in the near future. As the Conference rightly notes, action in this field is important for equalisation of the conditions of competition necessary for the completion of the internal market.
The Politics of Corporate Taxation in the European Union by Claudio Radaelli Pdf
This study explores the formation of the European Union's tax policy and asks why member states did not raise objections to it. The author's analysis is enriched by two further levels of inquiry. Firstly, he examines the 'Europeanization' of domestic tax policy in Italy and the UK, asking how domestic policy has changed and what is meant by 'Europeanization'. Secondly, he puts the European Union tax policy in the wider context of tax globalization. Will the liberalization of capital movement, tax havens and the flexibility of multinationals in managing their taxable incomes wreck the European Union's fragile tax policies?
The European Union's Corporate Income Tax Policy by Pernille Stordrange Pdf
Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: A, BI Norwegian Business School (Public governance), course: EU Policy Process, language: English, abstract: In this paper I chronologically go through the policy process towards a harmonised corporate income tax in the EU member states. By using Jenkins-Smith and Sabatier's advocacy coalition framework (ACF) I evaluate how events internal and external to the EU, as well as policy-oriented learning have brought the process forward and caused policy change. I also explain how the lack of favourable conditions has caused stalemate and lack of progress. I find that changing socio-economic conditions have facilitated and hampered the policy process and that macroeconomic conditions have affected member states willingness to implement coordinating measures. Other determinants of change are internal developments in the EU such as enlargements, ECJ jurisprudence or change in political leadership. Over the time period under study, the European Commission, as the agenda-setter in the EU has learned from previous failures and new scientific information and altered its strategy along the way. Member states have also over time changed their view on the EU in general and corporate income tax harmonisation in particular. The outcome of the EC's efforts over the years has been varying, and the policy process has proceeded in fits and starts. So far, the EC has achieved some degree of coordination, but not harmonisation of corporate income tax systems. What the future brings depends on the variables discussed throughout the paper.
Will Fiscal Policy Be Effective Under EMU? by Mr.M. Cangiano,Mr.Eric Mottu Pdf
European Economic and Monetary Union does not envisage creating a central fiscal authority. Monetary and exchange rate policies will be centralized, but fiscal policy will remain a national responsibility, in line with the subsidiarity principle. This paper argues that monetary union will generate pressures for closer economic integration than currently envisaged. Although not a necessity, a more active central role could then be justified on the grounds of allocative efficiency, redistribution, and stabilization. While in the short term enhanced policy coordination may address those pressures satisfactorily, as economic integration proceeds, the case for a central fiscal authority may become stronger.

Economic Globalization and Asia by Ramkishen S Rajan Pdf
The term “economic globalization” has been discussed extensively in the popular press, by business executives and by policy-makers all over the world. While academic economists have made some excellent contributions to specific, technical aspects of economic globalization, there appears to be a need for economists to discuss the broader aspects of the issue in a more accessible manner. Failing this, the general debate will be informed only by the writings of non-economists. That is the motivation for this book, which is a collection of essays on various aspects of economic globalization in general, but with specific reference to Asia. Contents:Economic Globalization: Finance, Trade and Taxation:Economic Globalization and Small and Open Economies: Finance, Trade and TaxationInternational Monetary and Financial Issues in East Asia:International Capital Flows and Regional Contagion: Boom and Bust in East Asia in the 1990sLiquidity-Enhancing Measures and Monetary Cooperation in East Asia: Rationale and ProgressChoosing the Right Exchange Rate Regime for Small and Open Economies in East AsiaInternational Trade Issues in Asia:The Nexus Between Trade Liberalization and Poverty in AsiaIndia's Decade-Long Trade Reforms: How Does It Compare with Its East Asian Neighbours? (with Rahul Sen)Singapore's Drive to Form Cross-Regional Trade Pacts: Rationale and Implications (with Rahul Sen)International Trade in Infrastructural Services in East Asia: Telecommunications and FinanceInternational Tax Issues in Asia:Economic Globalization and Taxation: With Particular Reference to Southeast Asia (with Mukul Asher) Readership: Policy-makers, businessmen, professionals and others with an interest in international economic affairs and international economic policy. Keywords:Economic Globalization;International Trade;International Tax;Asia;Finance and TaxationReviews:“What this reviewer liked most about this book is that it is more than the sum of its parts. This is to some extent by design, since it is organised around the overarching theme of globalisation, but there may also be an unintended interconnection between the various chapters.”Business Times (Singapore) “Both positive and negative aspects of the many globalization issues chosen for discussion in the book are examined in an objective manner, avoiding the right and left views of political economy. The main contribution of the book is in providing a concise, systematic and objective summary of the complicated issue of globalization.”Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy “Rajan's volume should be read by anyone interested in regional cooperation and interdependence in Asia. Its balanced and integrated discussion of trade, finance and monetary issues sets the stage for a coherent discussion of public policies in these arenas.”Asian-Pacific Economic Literature
