Wie betaalt de VPB werkelijk? Veronique de Rugy legt uit.

De Franse econome Veronique de Rugy onderscheidt bij Bloomberg TV elke week feit van fictie. Deze week: drie mythes over de vennootschapsbelasting. Met een focus op de VS, maar daardoor niet minder interessant. Zeker de tweede mythe.

Myth 1: We can collect more revenue by raising the tax rate on corporations or by increasing the top bracket.

Fact 1:  The wealth of the economy is a much better indicator of corporate tax revenue than tax rates and tax brackets.

Myth 2: Corporations pay the corporate income tax.

Fact 2: First, corporations do not pay taxes, only individuals pay taxes. More importantly, economists have shown that a majority of the corporate income tax is borne by labor mainly in the form of lower wages rather than borne by shareholders.

Myth 3:  The United States is a friendly country for businesses.

Fact 3: Not really. While there is good access to capital, the U.S. has the top corporate income tax rate among OECD nations and a worldwide tax system.
