What to Consider?
The personal income tax was once temporary, and it seems precedent will assert that the income tax is permanent. The Per Mile Usage Fee pilot program shows a desire for some expenses to be specified with their own tax, despite the normal collection from general Federal Taxes. Will all taxes be specified with general taxes decreased as separate taxes cover specific expenses? Or will additional specific taxes be used to increase taxes for certain citizens as the general tax would remain unchanged? If you have been paying attention to the talk about Cryptocurrency, you would have heard that Cryptocurrency is considered to be an asset, so it’s treatment as a security is not surprising. The one caveat, so the regulations start, where will they go and end? The Tax Gap does exist, although the Panama Paper’s reveal much of it will be offshores or out of the country, a temporary information swell of all the transactions, could help Tax Compliance Enforcement better understand the flow of money and practices of potential illegal tax activity.
