Economics Of Public Finance

This Book Includes Ten Chapters On Public Revenues, The First Two Chapters Being Public Revenue Structure And Tax Incidence And Principles Of Tax Shifting, And The Remaining Eight Chap¬Ters Dealing With Eight Individual Taxes Such As Personal Income Tax, Corpora¬Tion Income Tax, Expenditure Taxation, Net Worth Tax, Property Tax, Taxes On Gifts And Inheritances, Sales Taxation, And Customs Duties.The Book, Besides Analysing Public Revenue Structure, Dilates On The Tradi¬Tional And Modern Concepts Of Incidence And Presents An Analysis Of How Tax Shifting Takes Place Under Partial Equili¬Brium Conditions And What Would Be The Tax Incidence Under General Equilibrium Conditions. In Dealing With Individual Tax Items, An Effort Has Been Made To Examine How Far A Particular Tax Is Fis¬Cally Rational, To Trace Briefly The His¬Tory Of Each Tax Item In This Country And Its Present Position, To Analyse The Tax Base In Each Case, And How Far The Imposition Of The Tax Is Justified In The Present Circumstances After Looking Both To Its Merits And Demerits. The Reader Would Especially Feel Interested In Appris¬Ing Himself Of The Situation After The Abolition Of The Estate Duty, And Of The Controversy Whether The Sales Tax Be Abolished, Be Retained, Or Be Replaced By Another Tax.The Book Would Be Quite Useful To The Postgraduate Students Of Our Uni¬Versities, To Those Appearing For Various Competitive Examinations, To The Admini¬Strators Engaged In Taxation, And To The Public At Large.
