Alt’s (1983) treatment of the evolution of tax structure stresses the role of administrative and compliance costs. He argues that it has become increasingly easy to collect taxes from organized business rather than from households, and that one explanation for the widespread adoption of the VAT is that it imposes compliance costs without raising administrative costs, through incentives for self-policing. Kau and Rubin (1981) focus on changes in the cost of collecting taxes, and successfully relate growth of the U.S. federal government to reasonable correlates of collection cost, such as the literacy rate, the extent of female labor force participation, and the extent of theagricultural sector. Balke and Gardner (1991) contend that declining marginal collection costs can explain the stepwise growth in the size of government and the changes of taxation observed in the U.S. and U.K. They argue that major wars coincide with permanent improvements in tax instruments and tax collection technology, which facilitated permanent expansions in government size thereafter.
Putting aside the role of administrative issues in explaining the evolution of tax levels and tax structures, it is indisputable that these considerations are critical determinants of tax policy at a point in time. For example, an important set of generic aspects of income tax structure, such as the absence of taxation of imputed rents from consumer durables, taxation of capital gains (if at all) on a realization basis, and pre-set depreciation schedules, are undoubtedly largely driven by practical concerns of administerability. For these reasons, we believe that consideration of evasion, avoidance, and administration is essential to the positive and normative analysis of taxation. Our view corresponds closely to that of Blough (1952, p. 146):
In this chapter we organize, explicate, and evaluate the modern literature that incorporates these considerations into the economics of taxation. have put together a comprehensive survey of this literature, which is huge and multi-faceted, rather a guide to what we feel are the most important issues and contributions in this area.
1.c. Evasion, Avoidance, and Real Substitution Response
We begin with some definitions. The classic distinction between avoidance and evasion is due to Oliver Wendell Holmes, who wrote
"When the law draws a line, a case is on one side of it or the other, and if on the safe side is none the worse legally that a party has availed himself to the full of what the law permits. When an act is condemned as evasion, what is meant is that it is on the wrong side of the line..." (Bullen v. Wisconsin (1916), 240. U.S. 625 at p. 630).
