Taxing People
This book is for all scholars and policymakers who seek to understand how globalization, digitalization, post-colonialism, and changing social and demographic conditions impact traditional modes of taxing individuals. It identifies threats to the welfare state as well as opportunities for states to enhance and legitimize their tax authority.
Globalization, digitalization, changing social dynamics, and new views on citizenship prompt states to reconsider how to tax individuals.
The modern international tax system is a complex framework of national laws, bilateral treaties, and multilateral agreements aimed at coordinating state tax entitlements. Historically, taxation was based on political allegiance, but globalisation and increased mobility introduce new challenges. As more people and businesses operate across borders, it becomes harder to determine which states have the right to tax them.
Fragmentation of individuals' economic and political lives has complicated states' abilities to balance liberty, justice, and collective decision-making. Taxing People addresses taxes on individuals, which are crucial for providing public goods, promoting justice, and legitimising state power.
Exploring the future of individual taxation, the book focuses on global tax governance, social changes like remote work, and the evolving relationship between people and states in a globalised economy. This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available open access. Check our website Cambridge Core for details.
