Tax Law and Technological Change

Author(s):  
Arthur J. Cockfield

Writings on tax law and technology change often investigate three discrete but related questions: (1) how does tax law react to technology change; (2) how does tax law provoke technology change; and (3) how does tax law seek to preserve traditional interests (such as revenue collection) in light of technology change. In addition, observers sometimes raise concerns that the interaction of technology change and tax law can have a substantive impact on individuals, communities and/or national interests that may differ from the technology’s intended use (for example, automatic tax collection mechanisms may harm taxpayer privacy). The chapter reviews these writings and distils guiding principles for optimal tax law and policy in light of technology change.

Despite the fact that majority of countries in the world rely heavily on tax revenue, there is a vast difference in terms of tax collection performance. This study reassessed several structural, economic, demographic and institutional factors that potentially explain the variation. We employ pooled OLS, fixed effect and system GMM estimations to analyze a panel data of 161 countries for 15 years spanning from 2002 to 2017. Our findings confirmed that level of development and investment are among key factors that leads to revenue improvement. It is very likely that such a relationship has two-way directions. Other factors such as trade openness, inflation, share of agriculture and national resources in the economy, population, and governance, cannot be downplayed despite its mixed inferences.

The change in political government of Indonesian, that had taken place in the "big bang decentralization" era, create the  decentralization of power. In the fiscal decentralization, the local governments has the power to manage theirs’ finances, including tax collection. But, actually local governments can levy taxes only if there are  any assignment  from the legislators or conducted by the constitution. The extention of the local tax object produces several problems,particularly double taxation between federal and local taxes. Constitutional Court's decision for the golf tax implied the questions about the legitimacy of local taxes. Meanwhile, the construction of tax law encountered any problems, such as the legislators’ mind of state, tend to be undemocratic, tortuous and any potential overlap of double taxation in Indonesia. Program Self Assessment merupakan amanah dari Undang-Undang Tata Cara dan Ketentuan Umum Perpajakan (UU KUP) yang mewajibkan Wajib Pajak untuk menghitung, memperhitungkan, membayar, dan melaporkan jumlah pajaknya sendiri yang seharusnya terhutang sesuai dengan ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan perpajakan. Tugas fiskus, dalam hal ini Account Representative (AR) adalah memastikan apakah Wajib Pajak telah melaksanakan kewajiban perpajakannnya sesuai dengan ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan perpajakan yang berlaku, dengan merujuk pada UU KUP sebagai dasar dan ketentuan utamanya. Tiap AR diberi tugas oleh  Kepala  Kantor Pelayanan Pajak (KPP) untuk mengawasi beberapa Wajib Pajak.  AR  mengawasi  kewajiban  Wajib Pajak melalui sistem yang ada pada KPP. Apabila terdapat Wajib Pajak yang belum memenuhi kewajibannya sesuai dengan yang ditentukan oleh UU KUP, maka AR punya kewajiban untuk menegur   dengan menerbitkan   Surat   Tagihan   Pajak   (STP).   Dalam pelaksanaan sebenarnya masih banyak Wajib Pajak yang tidak menjalankan kewajiban self assessment mereka dengan benar, dan tidak dilakukan teguran oleh AR melalui penerbitan STP.


Significance With Congress in the legislative endgame over President Joe Biden's proposed USD4tn spending on infrastructure, education, research and clean energy, changes to the US tax code to pay for it are back in Washington's spotlight. Impacts If adopted, Biden's ambitious tax plan would reshape US tax law for the second time in four years. Polls showing support for delaying the USD3.5tn of infrastructure and social spending raise the chance of Congress limiting tax reform. Funding for IRS tax collection enforcement, hit by years of budget cuts accelerated during the Trump administration, will increase.

In the current setting of county governments in Kenya, efficient tax collection is highly dependent on validation of payment documents. This has led to challenges due to the fact that revenue collection has traditionally employed paper-based collection receipts. The research targets to address the challenges of validation of payment receipts in offline revenue collection systems. It supports automation attempts that have been made through the introduction of electronic mobile point of sale terminals. The solution is based on providing an offline model that supports the distributed nature of payment stations. This approach focuses on using cryptography-based techniques to enable offline validation of receipts even in cases of unreliable network connectivity. The objective is to provide a solution that affords ease of both revenue collections for the county governments and payments for the citizenry while stopping revenue leakages, ensuring reliable verification of payment receipts, thus maximising of revenue collection by providing reliable accounting reports. The research provides a reliable revenue collection system that enables offline receipting and verification of payment receipts in integrated mobile point of sale terminals. The solution presented has successfully been implemented and tested in one of the County Governments in Kenya.
