COULD WE SEE A NATIONWIDE SALES TAX?

Will a VAT become reality? How about Internet or energy taxes?

How do you pay down an $8 trillion debt? The Obama administration needs an answer, as the non-profit Congres-sional Budget Office says America’s debt could rise to $20 trillion by 2020.

One possible answer has a very European ring to it: a VAT, or value-added tax.

What are the chances of Americans paying a national sales tax? And what about an Internet tax? Or an energy tax? Are they also possible?

A VAT of bubbling controversy. Last year, Obama administration economic adviser Paul Volcker mentioned the possi-bility of a value-added tax. The CBO is now studying the idea.

India and the member states of the European Union have VATs: sales taxes imposed on producers, distributors and con-sumers as a product makes its way through the marketplace. VATs collect a great deal of state revenue while discouraging tax fraud. In France, the VAT is 20%; in Germany, 19%.

The VAT would not replace our federal income tax, just supplement it. So the furor we saw over health care reform might pale in comparison to the protests over this.

Volcker thinks a VAT is ―not as toxic an idea‖ to America in 2010 as it might have been decades ago. White House budget director Peter Orszag thinks it will never fly, calling it ―popular with academics but not seriously considered by policy mak-ers.‖

A VAT could generate trillions. The CBO says each percentage point of VAT could bring in $1 trillion in the next ten years. It also

projects that the health care reforms will cost $2 trillion or more over that period.

Some economists and political analysts think a VAT is inevitable. Why, exactly?

Peter Orszag’s office, the Office of Management and Budget, has projected federal government expenses of $5.7 trillion for 2020. However, it estimates that the government will only collect $4.7 trillion in total taxes in 2020, meaning a deficit of $1 trillion. Well, at least that’s better than the 2010 shortfall of $1.6 trillion, right? Yes, but … the OMB projects income tax receipts of just $2.3 trillion in that year. So if Washington wants to wipe out a 2020 deficit using its #1 revenue generator, it would have to collect 44% more in in-come taxes, which is unthinkable.

Rather than trying to do that, it could put a VAT in place – a major tax to be sure. Think double digits. By federal projections, if the government charged Americans a 7% national sales tax on every consumable in 2020, then it could raise $1 trillion. If it spared es-sentials like food and clothing from VAT (it likely would), then the VAT would need to be higher than 7%.

One major gripe about VATs around the world is that they burden the poor. Certainly, poor people in America would be pinched by a VAT, possibly to the point of federal subsidy.

However, the government needs a lot of money in a short window of time, and the VAT is beckoning, with voices such as Volcker, Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry bringing up the idea.

An Internet tax? Back in 1998, President Clinton signed the Internet Tax Freedom Act into law, which prohibited federal, state and local governments from charging bandwidth taxes, email taxes and Internet access taxes. It was extended in 2007 with President Bush’s signature.

However, the National Broadband Plan out in April from the Federal Communications Commission contains Recommendation 4.20: “The federal government should investigate establishing a national framework for digital goods and services taxation.” It also says, “Recognizing that state and local governments pursue varying approaches to raising tax revenues, a national framework for digital goods and services taxation would reduce uncertainty and remove one barrier to online entrepreneurship and investment.” (Huh?)

So far, this is as far as this idea has gotten. The governments of the United Kingdom and Canada are currently considering Internet tax proposals.

An energy tax? In an interview with Charlie Rose on PBS last year, Volcker floated the notion of “a tax on carbon, tax on energy, that’s a big revenue producer if you’re willing to do it. Not very popular to say the least.” It was part of a roster of potential tax code changes presented to the President in December, and he brought it up again in April in New York City.

FINANCIAL FOCUS

Systematic Investing Can Smooth “Bumps in the Road”

Article 9— April 19, 2010

In the investment world, there aren’t many certainties, but here’s one of them: prices will always go up and down. As an individual in-

vestor, you can’t do anything about this volatility. But the way you respond to it could make a big difference in your long-term investment success.

Many investors think they can “beat” volatility by trying to time the market — in other words, by buying when prices are low and selling

when prices are high. In theory, this is an excellent strategy, but in reality, it’s pretty much impossible to follow — because no one can really pre-

dict, with any accuracy, market highs and lows.

So instead of attempting to time the market, you’re much better off by following a time-tested strategy known as systematic investing.

To systematically invest, you simply put the same amount of money into the same investments at regular intervals. To illustrate, you

could put $100, $500, $1000 or more into Investment X on the first of every month. To make it even easier on yourself, you could

automatically transfer those dollars from your bank account directly into the investment you’ve chosen.

In all likelihood, your contribution will buy a different amount of shares of Investment X each month. For example, if Investment X

sells for $100 per share in January, a $500 investment will buy five shares. In February, if the price has fallen to $50 per share, your $500 will buy

10 shares.

In other words, when you systematically invest, you’ll automatically buy more shares when the price is low and fewer shares when the price

is higher — and that’s a great way to cope with market volatility. But systematic investing also offers some other advantages, including the follow-

ing:

• Efficient share building — The more shares you own of an investment, the bigger your cumulative gains whenever the price of that in-

vestment rises. Consequently, increasing your shares should be a prime objective — and systematic investing is one way of building your share

ownership.

• Investment discipline — Most people realize the value of investing for their retirement and other long-term goals, but they often put it off

each month and find other things to do with the money— and by then, there’s often nothing left to invest. But by setting up a bank authorization

to invest systematically each month, you’ll “pay yourself first."

• Lower cost of investing — Through systematic investing, your cost per share likely will be lower than if you made sporadic lump sum in-

vestments. And by lowering the cost of investing, you will, in effect have the potential to boost your returns.

While systematic investing is typically a good way to fight the effects of volatility, it can’t guarantee a profit or prevent a loss in declin-

ing markets. And keep in mind that you need to have the financial wherewithal to keep investing through up and down markets.

But if you have that ability, consider putting systematic investing to work for you. It may not be glitzy or glamorous, but it may work for

you. Jay J. Bleth

ND Chamber of Commerce

Announces Retirement

The President of the North Dakota Chamber of Com-merce, Dave MacIver, announced his retirement at the March Board of Directors meeting. MacIver plans to retire at the end of the year.

A 29-year-veteran of Chamber work, MacIver began his career in Mandan. He led the newly formed Bismarck-Mandan Chamber of Commerce until 2003 when he moved to the Greater North Dakota Association, later re-named the North Dakota Chamber of Commerce.

―Retirement will be bittersweet,‖ says MacIver. ―I will miss the people I have served and worked with through the years, but it will give me more time to spend with my family and other personal interests.‖

Connie Feist, North Dakota Chamber of Commerce board chairman, says the Board of Directors has named a search committee that will meet in early April to begin the proc-ess of finding MacIver’s replacement.

The North Dakota Chamber of Commerce is the state’s most influential general business organization. It offers many programs and services to help businesses succeed in North Dakota and to make the state an outstanding place to live, work and do business.
