While the IRS is responsible for collecting federal taxes and enforcement, it is not responsible for writing tax laws (though its administrative role includes interpreting tax law through regulation, rules, and procedures).

My latest Economics Explained column in @FinancialReview. The massive increase in cigarette excise has INCREASED smoking in Australia. A lot. Illegal smokes are now more than 80% of the market. And excise revenue has cratered. The only way to fix this is to cut the excise to zero for a while. This will force illicit tobacco out of the market and allow us to start again. afr.com/politics/federal/the…

"It's kind of ironic that pillar 2 was supposed to set a floor on tax competition, and yet the side-by-side system may end up fueling more tax competition." Check out @StephanieSoong's discussion about the OECD’s recent pillar 2 side-by-side package deal: taxnotes.co/4cxNunw
