Publisher Description
INTRODUCTION Is it possible to coordinate a federal value-added tax (VAT) with state retail sales taxes (RSTs)? Canada's experience over the last 15 years demonstrates that it is. Must sub-national governments harmonize retail sales taxes if the federal government adopts a VAT? Canadian experience shows that sales tax harmonization need not happen and little coordination might arise. Would states welcome a federal VAT? Probably not since a government would not welcome competition for a scarce revenue base.
