Describe two factors that have been influential in the increased use of transaction taxes in various countries around the world.

Correct Answer

verifed

verified

The required two factors can be selected from the following: • Simplicity - Transaction taxes are easy to administer and collect. No forms are required from individuals paying the tax and, if the individual wishes to acquire a particular good or service, it is difficult to evade payment. • Incentives To Work - An often cited disadvantage of income taxes is that they can discourage individual initiative to work and invest. Transaction taxes do not have this characteristic. • Consistency - Transaction taxes avoid the fluctuating income and family unit problems that are associated with progressive income tax systems. • Keeping The Tax Revenues In Canada - While some types of income can be moved out of Canada, resulting in the related taxes being paid in a different jurisdiction, taxes on Canadian transactions remain in Canadian hands.
