Capital taxation in the Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans model. Consider Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans economy that is on its balanced growth path. Suppose that at some time, which we will call time 0 , the government switches to a policy of taxing investment income at rate $\tau .$ Thus the real interest rate that households face is now given by $r(t)=(1-\tau) f^{\prime}(k(t)) .$ Assume that the government returns the revenue it collects from this tax through lump-sum transfers. Finally, assume that this change in tax policy is unanticipated. (a) How, if at all, does the tax affect the $c=0$ locus? The $k=0$ locus? (b) How does the economy respond to the adoption of the tax at time 0? What are the dynamics after time $0 ?$ (c) How do the values of $c$ and $k$ on the new balanced growth path compare with their values on the old balanced growth path? (d) (This is based on Barro, Mankiw, and Sala-i-Martin, $1995 .$ ) Suppose there are many economies like this one. Workers' preferences are the same in each country, but the tax rates on investment income may vary across countries. Assume that each country is on its balanced growth path. (i) Show that the saving rate on the balanced growth path, $\left(y^{*}-c^{*}\right) / y^{*},$ is decreasing in $\tau$ (ii) Do citizens in low- $\tau,$ high- $k^{*},$ high-saving countries have any incentive to invest in low-saving countries? Why or why not? (e) Does your answer to part (c) imply that a policy of subsidizing investment (that is, making $\tau<0$ ), and raising the revenue for this subsidy through lump-sum taxes, increases welfare? Why or why not? $(f)$ How, if at all, do the answers to parts $(a)$ and $(b)$ change if the government does not rebate the revenue from the tax but instead uses it to make government purchases?
Which of the following is an example of an income tax? a. Duty paid when the title of a property is transfer between taxpayers. b. Levies made on certain products such as alcohol, tobacco and petrol when a taxpayer consumes those produces. c. A proportion of the money a taxpayer received from selling an asset for more than its purchase price (or cost). d. A proportion of the money a taxpayer received from a trust or an estate. e. Money paid for simply being a tax resident in a country.

Individuals and firms pay out a significant portion of their income as taxes, so taxes are important in both personal and corporate decision. Our tax system is Progressive. Individuals: Individuals pay taxes on wages, investment income, and on the profit of proprietorship and partnership. Taxable income is defined as gross income less a set of deductions. In 2018, the personal exemption is taxpayers and their dependents at zero. A capital gains (loss) is the profit (loss) from the side of a capital assets for more (less) than its purchase price. In 2018, for most taxpayers a capital gains is taxed at a maximum rate at 15%, while,a capital gains is taxed as ordinary income[for high-income taxpayers the tax rate on long-term capital gains 1,2010] income consist of dividends and interest income except interest on state and local government debt, which is exempt from federal taxes is taxed on while dividends are taxed at the as long-term . Generally, interest payments are not tax deductible. For individuals except for interest an within certain limits.
