Taxation
Taxation is the Government′s main source of revenue. A tax is a compulsory charge levied on the taxpayer by the state. There are two main types of taxation hi the UK, namely direct and indirect taxation. Income tax, corporation tax, capital transfer tax, motor vehicle tax and local rates are all direct taxes, since they are paid by the taxpayer direct to the respective Government department. Indirect taxes are those paid on the purchase or importation of certain goods and services. They include value added tax, customs duties and excise duties. They are indirect because they are paid initially by the manufacturer, importer or wholesaler and then passed on to the final customer.
Taxation can obviously be classified again into three groups: taxes on income, taxes on capital and taxes on expenditure.
While the main function of taxation is to provide revenue, it also has important subsidiary functions and is one of the ways in which the government affects its policies. The first of these is to reduce the inequality of incomes. This has been achieved - and is still being maintained - by income tax and capital transfer tax. These taxes are progressive. The amount people pay is in accordance with what they can afford, so that a person with a high income pays more income tax than one who earns less and, in addition, their financial responsibilities are taken into account. Consequently, if two men receive the same amount in wages but one is single and the other is married and has two children, the single person will pay more income tax.
The second subsidiary function of taxation is to control the level of economic activity. Selective employment tax falls into this category, since it encourages economy in the use of labour in the service and construction industries. The repayment of the tax, together with additional sums to manufacturing industries in the development areas, was an added incentive to firms to move to those areas and therefore stimulated economic activity in them. Similarly, a substantial increase in corporation tax could cause firms to limit their plans for development and expansion, while a reduction in the rate charged would encourage firms to adopt an expansionist policy.
Taxation′s third subsidiary function is to influence production and consumption. The imposition of a tax when goods are bought, or excise duty on certain goods, can reduce the total consumption of them. The imposition of tariffs on imported goods will discourage people from buying them and stimulate the sales of home-produced goods. This was one of the measures used at the end of the 1960s to help to correct the balance of payments.
The last two functions can obviously have a direct effect on businesses, while the first will have indirect consequences for them. The effects of taxation are obviously taken into account as far as possible when planning company policy.
The government′s financial policy - and hence taxation - is reviewed annually in the budget. A constant watch is kept on levels of employment in all parts of the country, trends of production, prices and the balance of payments throughout the year.
