Alternatives to the white paper proposals / by J.A. Johnson. : NH18-1/368-1988E-PDF
"The major purpose of this study was to analyze the 1987 White Paper proposals and alternative methods of taxing housing under a value added tax (VAT), employing generally accepted tax criteria. The first step was to identify alternative measures by examining the levies used by European countries and New Zealand as well as the economics literature. The next step was to analyse the shortcomings of these measures and to select one or more preferred options for further investigation, along with the White Paper proposals and a plan for completely excluding housing from the tax base. The third step was to analyze these measures in terms of criteria such as equity and administrative simplicity. The last step was to form conclusions. A secondary purpose of the study was to assess the extent to which housing has contributed to the problems in the Manufacturers' Sales Tax and to compare the White Paper proposals and MST, using the tax criteria noted above"--Executive summary, p. i.
