Exploring Ideas on the Regulation of Local Public Services: A Q-Methodology S...Alberto Asquer
Several scholarly works hold that ideas, argumentation, and discourse are important to explain policy stability and change, although it is not so clear how exactly. Attention to the ideational sphere, moreover, poses crucial methodological issues, including how can we access the subjective world of policy actors. This Q methodology study provides some evidence of the variety of ideas held by elected public officers on the regulation of local public services. Results indicate how ideas can be grouped into alternative and partially conflicting views. The findings bear some relevance for better understanding sources of stability and change of regulatory regimes of public services at the local level.

• Taxes are an expression of sovereignty and
authority
• Taxes are typically decided within institutional
systems of checks and balances, e.g.,
parliamentary approval

income and wealth within economies, in
economic growth, and in PFM
5. What can be taxed?

• On individual income
• Of business income
Production taxes
• On inputs (labour)
• On outputs (excises on
volume)
Trade taxes

• Encouraging welcome behaviour
• Discouraging unwelcome behaviour
13. Tax revenue
The Laffer curve
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laffer_curve
Tax rate
100%
0%
Aims of taxation
14. • Too high tax rates may reduce incentives to earn income
• Too high tax rates may induce tax avoidance (e.g.,
earning as corporate income rather than personal
income)
• Too high tax rates may induce tax evasion (e.g., black
economy)
• Too high tax rates may induce relocation of individuals
and/or businesses
Aims of taxation
15. What is the desired outcome of a redistribution:
• Equal income for everyone?
• Equal wealth for everyone?
• Equal access and provision of public services?
(education, housing, health care)
• Equal opportunity to earn income?
Aims of taxation
16. Inducing the desired behaviour:
• Levying taxes on polluting activities to reduce emissions
• Levying taxes on alcohol drinks, cigarettes and cigars,
soda drinks, and junk food (sin taxes) to reduce
consumption of dangerous products
• Granting tax deductions for installing solar panels to
stimulate the green economy
• Granting tax deductions for gym subscriptions to
stimulate better health and fitness
Aims of taxation
20. Tax competition
Tax competition refers to countries’ policies that are
intended to make the country more attractive for
businesses and individuals than other countries because of
tax reasons.
Tax competition may play out on the basis of lower tax rates
or more efficient and convenient tax administration.
Tax competition is often pursued by relatively small
countries with respect to large (often neighbouring)
economies.
21. Tax competition
Effects of tax competition include:
• “Tax shopping” of individuals and firms for fiscal
residency decisions
• Relocation of individuals and businesses (Tiebout, 1956)
• Attraction of foreign capital investments
• “Race to the bottom” if other countries retaliate with
aggressive tax competition policies
22. Tax havens
Tax havens are commonly understood as countries with
zero or very low taxation (on personal income, corporate
income, indirect taxes)
23. Tax havens
• “The Cayman Islands, the British Virgin
Islands, Bermuda and the Bahamas are
home to 52% of the world’s hedge fund
industry”
• “It is now clear that Britain sits, spider-
like, at the centre of a vast
international web of tax havens, which
hoover up trillions of dollars’ worth of
business and capital from around the
globe and funnel it up to the City of
London”
24. Tax havens
• “… around 8% of the world’s financial
wealth is held in tax havens.”
• “In Africa the share of financial wealth
that is held offshore is estimated … to
be around 30%. In Russia and the oil-
rich countries of the Middle East …
above 50%”
25. Contemporary international tax policies
OECD Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) initiative
• The initiative targets tax avoidance strategies of
multinationals that builds on legal differences, transfer
prices, trade of digital goods and transactions within
corporate groups
• G20 countries promoted anti-BEPS measures in 2012
(OECD BEPS multilateral instrument, MLI), which failed
to achieve significant results
• The US adopted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017
("TCJA") with anti-BEPS measures but again they have
been ineffective so far
