Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history of the personal property tax in New York State and explores why it has become such a failure. The author traces the roots of the issue back to inequitable tax burdens and insufficient tax base. The book delves into the various proposals and reforms introduced to address these failures such as ability or presumptive income tax, classified property tax, low rate on intangibles and income tax among others. The author also compares and contrasts different alternatives to the personal property tax such as the franchise tax, capital stock tax, corporate excess tax and Wisconsin Income Tax. In examining these substitutes for the personal property tax, the author analyzes their potential yield, administrative challenges, and overall effectiveness. Drawing on extensive research and analysis, the book concludes that a comprehensive reform of the tax system is necessary to establish a fairer and more reliable source of revenue for the state.
