Can investment tax reform boost economic growth? – Economics Observatory
Taxation, especially on capital income such as corporate and capital gains taxes, can reduce investment, distort resource allocation, and hinder economic growth. High government debt and stagnant productivity in the UK make the relationship between tax policies and growth crucial. One way to increase growth could be through tax reforms that promote investment and innovation without significantly reducing government revenue. Expanding full expensing to all forms of investments and adjusting dividend and capital gains tax rates could be potential strategies to boost growth. The balance between higher revenues from corporate income taxes and increased investment from dividend and capital gains taxes is a significant challenge for policymakers.

Guest commentary California needs higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy
President Biden proposed to reverse the 2017 Trump tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans by raising the corporate tax rate, denying tax breaks for corporations whose CEOs earn more than million in annual compensation, and requiring billionaires to pay at least 25 percent of their income in taxes. California faces a billion budget deficit and has a regressive tax system, with the lowest income earners paying the largest share of taxes. State and local governments can take action to ensure the ultra-wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share by ending tax breaks, increasing the corporate tax rate, and implementing a wealth tax on extreme wealth. Governor Newsom opposes the wealth tax, but public pressure is building with a majority of California voters supporting the idea.
