Taxes are necessary for governments to fund social projects and public investments that promote prosperity. However, governments must carefully set tax rates and design compliant tax systems to avoid discouraging business activity. Research shows that higher tax rates are associated with less private investment and lower economic growth. While tax revenues are important, the quality of tax administration and the ease of tax compliance are also significant factors for firms and economic development. Effective tax systems that are simple and transparent can help encourage business formalization and investment.

ABSTRACT: Monthly Tax Deduction (MTD) Scheme was first introduced in Malaysia in 1995. The aim is to ensure an efficient manner of collecting tax from employees through salary deductions by employers. However, since its introduction, little is known about the implementation of MTD. As far as this study is concerned, there is no published study on the compliance cost borne by the employers under the administration of the MTD scheme. The importance of investigating the compliance cost of the MTD in Malaysia is further emphasised when the Budget 2014 proposed to make MTD for salaried employees a final tax. This scheme will be conducted in stages and is voluntary in nature. The administrative burden of the tax authority will be lightened as it is shifted to the employers. It is therefore the objective of this study to find out the compliance cost borne by the employers under the MTD scheme. The focus is on the employers of the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) as this is the group of employers who bears particularly high tax compliance costs as indicated by the literature. The findings from this study have shown that smaller size SMEs incurred a high compliance cost compared to larger size SMEs. This study has provided essential information to policy makers to help lower the burden of employers when MTD becomes the final tax. In addition, the result also points to the associated costs that are currently faced by the employers of SMEs in trying to comply with the MTD scheme.

The International Tax Competitiveness Index (ITCI) seeks to measure the extent to which a country’s tax system adheres to two important aspects of tax policy: competitiveness and neutrality.
A competitive tax code is one that keeps marginal tax rates low. In today’s globalized world, capital is highly mobile. Businesses can choose to invest in any number of countries throughout the world to find the highest rate of return. This means that businesses will look for countries with lower tax rates on investment to maximize their after-tax rate of return. If a country’s tax rate is too high, it will drive investment elsewhere, leading to slower economic growth. In addition, high marginal tax rates can lead to tax avoidance.
To measure whether a country’s tax system is neutral and competitive, the ITCI looks at more than 40 tax policy variables. These variables measure not only the level of taxes, but also how taxes are structured. The Index looks at a country’s corporate taxes, individual income taxes, consumption taxes, property taxes, and the treatment of profits earned overseas. The ITCI gives a comprehensive overview of how developed countries’ tax codes compare, explains why certain tax codes stand out as good or bad models for reform, and provides important insight into how to think about tax policy.

Discussion for Response 1

Week 5 - Taxes
Currently, our tax system is a progressive tax system. This means that the more money you make, the more money you pay. This way, those who do not struggle to put food on the table can afford to pay the government. In considering a better tax system, there should be five fundamental theories: fairness, adequacy, simplicity, transparency, and administrative ease.
In fairness, everyone pays a fair share of taxes within horizontal equity meaning that everyone pays a similar proportion of tax. In adequacy, there should be an adequate amount of taxes to provide enough revenue to meet the needs of society. Simplicity meaning that having a simpler tax system will help taxpayers understand the tax system and, therefore, remain compliant. Having transparency and knowing who is being taxed and how much. Everyone is also aware of what the money is being used for. Finally, with administrative ease compares to simplicity where the tax system is not too complicated or expensive for both the taxpayer and collector (Oklahoma Policy Institute).
Raising taxes has some pros and cons. Some pros include: ensuring that services to citizens are available and needs, such as road repair, are completed without needing bonds. Cons include having a less disposable income to citizens as well as lowering the consumer expenditure which hurts businesses and the overall economy. Another con is that raising the tax encourages excessive government spending.
Some advantages of a progressive tax system include allowing those who are poorer to live more comfortably. It also helps the government establish higher tax brackets to generate revenue. Other advantages of a progressive tax system are that it can potentially produce more total income for the government and it improves the spending power of those who are of lower income. Disadvantages include having complex incentives and rules drive the cost of compliance way up (Murphey, 2017).
Income tax refers to the amount one pays on total income from businesses to the federal and state governments. Sales tax refers to the percentage paid by consumers when purchasing certain items. One involves the business owner and the other involves the consumer. The estate, or death/inheritance tax also has pros and cons. Pros include the same amount of tax is charged to everyone, only approximately 0.2% of people are eligible for the death tax, almost no employers pay the estate tax upon transfer, and estates worth more than $5 million have an average of 55% of net worth that was never taxed. Cons include assets are taxed at the same rate of liquid assets. The tax affects lower income families than others. The estate tax is based on the current value of the property and government can tax up to 3 times on estate tax (Brandon Gaille, 2015).
Taxes are necessary to pay the government in order for states to have the necessary things to keep.
Firms in developing countries often make informal payments to tax officials. These bribes raise the cost of doing business, and the price charged to consumers. To decrease these costs, we design a feedback incentive scheme for business tax inspectors that rewards them according to the anonymous evaluation submitted by inspected firms. We show theoreti- cally that feedback incentives decrease the bribe size, but make firms facing a more inelas- tic demand more attractive for inspectors. A tilted scheme that attaches higher weights to the evaluation of smaller firms limits the scope for targeting and decreases the bribe size to a lesser extent. We test both schemes in a field experiment in the Kyrgyz Republic. Our intervention reduces bribes and average business cost. As a result, the price firms charge to consumers decreases. Since fewer firms substitute bribes for taxes, tax revenues increase. Our results show that firms pass-through bribes to consumers, and that market structure shapes the relationship between firms and tax officials.

FACTORS AFFECTING TAX COMPLIANCE AMONG SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES IN KITALE...paperpublications3
Abstract:This study seeks to establish factors affecting tax compliance by Small and Medium Enterprises, with special emphasis on Income Tax and Value Added Tax and their effects on government revenue. Tax compliance level which is internal factor affecting tax revenue not only undermines tax administration infrastructure but also makes the tax base narrow and inequitable. The objectives of the study include establishing the influence of compliance cost, fines and penalties and attitudes of tax compliance among Small and Medium Enterprises. The study adopts a descriptive research design involving both qualitative and quantitative research methodology. The target population was 200, out of which a sample size of 132 respondents were drawn, using stratified and simple random sampling. Questionnaires were used to collect primary data from the respondents, which were analyzed using SPSS applying both descriptive and inferential analysis. There was a positive relationship between the tax and compliance cost (r=.514), fines and penalties (r=.415) attitudes (r=.546) and tax compliance. The findings showed that compliance cost, fines and penalties and attitude had significant relationship with tax compliance. It is recommended that the tax system should provide a clear and simple guideline on how to fill tax returns but also enhance taxpayer education services to enable the taxpayers understand their rights and obligations as taxpayers, there should be moderate levels of fines and taxes so that SMEs are encouraged to comply since they will keep accurate records for taxation purposes in order to avoid fines and penalties.

Canada’s small- and medium-size enterprises
(SMEs) are collectively the largest employer in
Canada, employing about 55 per cent of
Canadians (based on Statistics Canada’s Survey
of Employment, Payrolls and Hours 2008).
When you take into account the fact that they
contribute 1.4 times the premiums their
employees do, this makes them the single
largest employer-stakeholder group in the EI
system today. SMEs employ Canadians in every
province and in every sector of the economy,
from the retail and service sectors to
manufacturing and primary industries. This
broad range of industries and employee
requirements make SME owners an excellent
judge of the efficacy of the EI system.
EI is becoming a more and more important
issue for SMEs. In fact, EI is one of the top
priorities for CFIB members across the nation.
This was highlighted in a survey conducted in
the first half of 2009, which found that 48 per
cent of CFIB members listed EI reform as a
priority for their business, behind only the
total tax burden and regulations and paper
burden, both of which are also directly related
to the EI system.
Tax management within multinational enterprises (MNEs) has never been more challenging. 'Getting to grips with the BEPS Action Plan' is the latest Grant Thornton report exploring the OECD’s planned overhaul of the international tax system, what it means for businesses and how they can prepare.
The Effect of Tax Payment on the Performance of SMEs: The Case of Selected SM...Evans Tee
Taxation plays important role in the development of every economy as well as the growth of Small and Medium
Enterprises (SMEs). In a middle-income country like Ghana, the role of SMEs is critical in pushing the socioeconomic
development agenda of the country further. Therefore, alignment of the tax system to the specific
SME growth needs can be considered an important agenda for the policy makers. Keeping this issue at focus, the
study aimed to explore the managers/ executive officers’ perception of the tax system in Ghana on the
profitability of their businesses. The study is based on a survey of 102 managers/ Executive officers of the
selected SMEs in the Ga West Municipality in the Greater Accra region of Ghana. The survey was administered
using questionnaire and interview with the selected respondents. Data was analyzed by descriptive analysis
method, correlation and regression analysis and findings were presented in terms of frequencies and percentage
analysis. Findings indicate that majority of the respondents perceive the adverse impact of existing tax policies
on the growth of SMEs and suggest for reforming the tax policies in the Country. The findings would help the
stakeholders in designing measures to align the tax system to SMEs in a more effective manner.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

Taxes
1. Taxes.
To cultivate monetary development and improvement governments need reasonable wellsprings of
subsidizing for social projects and public speculations. Projects giving wellbeing, instruction, framework
and different administrations are essential to accomplish the shared objective of a prosperous,
utilitarian and systematic culture. What's more, they necessitate that administrations raise incomes. Tax
assessment not just pays for public merchandise and ventures; it is additionally a key fixing in the
implicit agreement among residents and the economy. How expenses are raised and spent can decide
an administration's very authenticity. Considering governments responsible supports the viable
organization of assessment incomes and, all the more generally, great public budgetary management.
All administrations require income, yet the test is to painstakingly pick the degree of duty rates as well
as the assessment base. Governments likewise need to plan an expense consistence framework that
won't dishearten citizens from partaking. Ongoing firm review information for 147 economies show that
organizations consider charge rates to be among the best five requirements to their tasks and
assessment organization to be among the top 11.2 Firms in economies that score better on the Doing
Business simplicity of paying expenses markers will in general see both duty rates and duty organization
as less of a deterrent to business.
Why duty rates matter?
The measure of the duty cost for organizations matters for venture and development. Where duties are
high, organizations are more disposed to quit the conventional area. An investigation shows that higher
assessment rates are related with less conventional organizations and lower private speculation. A 10-
rate point increment in the successful corporate pay charge rate is related with a decrease in the
proportion of venture to GDP of up to 2 rate focuses and an abatement in the business section pace of
around 1 rate point.3 An expense increment identical to 1% of GDP diminishes yield throughout the
following three years by almost 3%.4 Research taking a gander at worldwide firms' choices on where to
contribute proposes that a 1-rate point increment in the legal corporate salary charge rate would lessen
the neighborhood benefits from existing speculation by 1.3% on average.5 A 1-rate point increment in
the powerful corporate pay charge rate decreases the probability of building up an auxiliary in an
economy by 2.9%.
Benefit charges are just aspect of the all out business charge cost (around 39% all things considered). In
República Bolivariana de Venezuela, for instance, the ostensible corporate pay charge depends on a
reformist size of 15–34% of net gain, however the all out business charge bill—even in the wake of
considering allowances and exceptions—is 73.31% of business benefit inferable from a progression of
2. different duties (a benefit charge, four work assessments and commitments, a turnover charge, a
property charge and a science, innovation and development charge).
Keeping charge rates at a sensible level can support the improvement of the private area and the
formalization of organizations. Humble assessment rates are especially essential to little and medium-
sizeenterprises, which add to financial development and work however don't add altogether to burden
revenue.7 Typical appropriations of expense income by firm size for economies in Sub-Saharan Africa
and the Middle East and North Africa show that miniature, little and medium-size ventures make up
over 90% of citizens yet contribute just 25–35% of duty revenue.8 Imposing high assessment costs on
organizations of this size probably won't add a lot to government charge income, yet it may make
organizations move to the casual area or, far more terrible, stop tasks.
In Brazil, the legislature made Simples Nacional, an expense system intended to rearrange the
assortment of assessments for miniature and little endeavors. The program diminished by and large
duty costs by 8% and added to an expansion of 11.6% in the business authorizing rate, a 6.3% increment
in the enlistment of microenterprises and a 7.2% increment in the quantity of firms enrolled with the
assessment authority. Income assortments rose by 7.4% percent because of expanded expense
installments and government backed retirement commitments. Simples Nacional was additionally
credited with expanding the income, benefit, paid work and fixed capital of formal-area firms.9
Organizations care about what they get for their expenses. Quality foundation is basic for the sound
working of an economy since it assumes such a focal part in deciding the area of financial movement
and the sorts of areas that can create. A sound labor force is fundamental to an economy's seriousness
and profitability—putting resources into the arrangement of wellbeing administrations is basic for both
monetary and good reasons. Fundamental instruction builds the proficiency of every laborer, and great
quality advanced education and preparing permit economies to climb the worth chain past
straightforward creation cycles and items.
Development Index show that economies, for example, Ireland and Malaysia—which all have generally
low complete duty rates—create charge incomes effectively and convert the increases into excellent
public merchandise and enterprises (figure 2). The information show the inverse for Angola and
Afghanistan. Financial improvement frequently expands the requirement for new expense income to
back rising public use. At the equivalent, time it requires an economy to have the option to address
those issues. More significant than the degree of tax assessment, notwithstanding, is the way income is
utilized. In creating economies high assessment rates and frail duty organization are not by any means
the only explanations behind low paces of expense assortment. The size of the casual area matters too;
the expense base is much smaller in light of the fact that most laborers in the casual area win low
wages.
3. Productive duty organization can help urge organizations to turn out to be officially enlisted, accordingly
extending the expense base and expanding charge incomes. Duty organization that is out of line and
impulsive is probably going to bring the expense framework into unsavoriness and diminish the
administration's authenticity. In many progress economies during the 1990s, the inability to improve
charge organization when new assessment frameworks were presented brought about the lopsided
inconvenience of duties, far reaching tax avoidance and lower-than-anticipated duty revenue.
Consistence with charge laws is imperative to keep the framework working for all and supporting the
projects and administrations that improve lives. One approach to urge consistence is to keep the
principles as clear and straightforward as could reasonably be expected. Excessively confounded duty
frameworks are related with high tax avoidance. High expense consistence costs are related with bigger
casual areas, more debasement and less speculation. Economies with straightforward, all around
planned assessment frameworks can help organizations action and, eventually, venture and
employment. New exploration shows that a significant determinant of firm section is the simplicity of
making good on charges, paying little mind to the corporate duty rate. An investigation of 118
economies more than six years found that a 10% decrease in the assessment managerial weight—as
estimated by the quantity of duty installments every year and the time needed to settle charges—
prompted a 3% expansion in yearly business section rates.
Expense organization is changing as the environment in which it works gets more extensive and more
profound, generally attributable to the tremendous increment in advanced data streams. Duty
organizations are reacting to these difficulties through the presentation of new innovation and
