#FT delves deep into a daredevil decade+ dispute on international #ProfitLoss between #ATL's #Coke & #IRS that has escalated to $6b due now after recent US #courtcase losses ... the #SoftDrink company, which has used #NorthernIreland as a backstop to bubble up oft insane profits could fight on to owe another $10B in back #taxes if they keep it up, which would wipe out years of #international #Syrup producer #Profits

@mwlucas
Fair enough.
We see reports like this all the time and they always seem to elevate the flawed #profitLoss based #taxation methodology and decry greater #enforcement, which won't work. The #kleptocrats know how to engineer losses.
Following on from #HenryGeorge and his book #ProgressAndPoverty, the best way forward is still a Progressive Land Tax on Improved (Rental) Value.
Yes, the greater the rentalValue a property is the more tax, progressive from 15-50% of a years rental value.
The more land you own the closer to 50% you would get, that's what makes it "progressive".
#IncomeTax needs to go, thats part of the #profitLoss shenanigans.
(2/2)
What if on tax day, We the People (aka govt) rolled a dice…
And if the number is a 1 to 3 then, forget #profitLoss based taxes and Progressive #IncomeTax. Instead tax is squarely focused on Progressive Land Tax based on the improved value of the #land (aka #rentalValue).
What do you think?
Can some 'constructive ambiguity' help to limit the excesses and destructive behaviours of the #kleptocratic few.
(In Australia we already have a GST and we are not suggesting changing that)
@nygal
*Silently supports a #ProgressiveLandTax based on #rentalValue of the #land, because the extremely wealthy and well-connected game #profitLoss-based #taxation so they never pay taxes.*
Also #incomeTax doesn't much sense, when compared to #consumption and #landTax'es
And some people just own too much land and engage in #rentseeking that drains the real #economy.
