VAT is the most important tax in most developing and transitional countries. This book draws on a wide range of experience and research to discuss a wide range of conceptual and practical issues related to VAT in a way that is relevant both to students and to tax practitioners and officials around the world. It updates, extends, and amends the only similar book-length treatment, The Modern VAT, an authored work published by the International Monetary Fund in 2001.

Fiscal Decentralization and Local Finance in Developing Countries
This book draws on experiences in developing countries to bridge the gap between the conventional textbook treatment of fiscal decentralization and the actual practice of subnational government finance. The extensive literature about the theory and practice is surveyed and longstanding problems and new questions are addressed. It focuses on the key choices that must be made in decentralizing, on how economic and political factors shape the choices that countries make, and on how, by paying more attention to the need for a more comprehensive approach and the critical connections between different components of decentralization reform, everyone involved might get more for their money.
Tax Policy and Economic Development
Evaluation of the unique conditions that apply to developing nations and an examination of their impact on both the kinds of taxes that may be raised and the effective administration of tax policy.

Improving Tax Administration in Developing Countries
"Taxation, like politics, is the art of the possible -- yet most public finance texts ignore the critical role played by tax administration in restoring macroeconomic balance and promoting equity and efficiency. This volume fills a gap in the literature by linking tax policy and tax administration reform and exploring ways to improve taxpayer compliance. The papers included in the volume were prepared for a symposium sponsored by the Instituto de Estudios Fiscales of the Ministry of Finance of Spain. The editors are authorities on tax policy and administration and have published extensively on tax issues."--P. [4] of cover.

Modern Fiscal Issues
The contributors to this work, all leading economists in their own right, are a few of the many colleagues, former students, and friends of Carl Shoup who have benefitted from his many years as a leading teacher and scholar of public finance.

Matching the breadth of interest of Professor Shoup’s life-long work in the field, this collection of essays covers the range of modern thinking on public finance from theoretical concepts such as public goods to eminently practical fiscal iss...
