Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book explores a number of critical issues related to tax systems around the world. Drawing upon a wealth of literature, it compares and contrasts modern tax systems in developed and developing countries, identifying factors that suggest they are converging and others that continue to distinguish them. It addresses the taxation of incomes (personal and corporate), wealth and consumption at the local, national, supranational and international levels; considers the use of environmental taxes; provides an analysis of modern trends in tax administration including issues of tax complexity and of tax compliance; and addresses the process and outcomes of tax reform.Readers will include anyone interested in how tax systems are formed, how they operate in practice, and how they are reformed.An ideal text for academic study at the intermediate or advanced levelsThis text explores and answers questions including:Why are the tax systems of developing and developed countries converging and how do they still differ?How do countries adapt their tax systems to deal with external shocks such as wars, pandemics, climate change and financial crises?Why is the property tax the most widely used tax for local government?Why has income become the predominant tax base in developed countries?Do we need corporate income taxes?Why are wealth taxes relatively under-utilised in all countries?Why have so many countries adopted a VAT or GST as their general consumption tax?How do taxes help governments to deliver environmental objectives?Can we avoid complexity in tax system design or are we stuck with it if we want effective taxes?Why do taxpayers comply, or not comply, with their tax obligations?Where should we go next in designing tax systems for the 21st century? and many others. This textbook explores a number of critical issues related to the design and operation of tax systems around the world. Drawing upon a wealth of literature, it compares and contrasts modern tax systems in developed and developing countries, identifying factors that suggest they are converging and others that continue to distinguish them.

Hardback. Condition: New. Originating in Central Asia, apples are one of the most important fruits globally and are grown in over 100 countries. Apple cultivation faces a number of challenges. Increasing global competition has put the focus on lowering costs whilst further improving sensory quality and shelf-life. There is a need to reduce inputs such as water, fertiliser and labour, both to save costs and reduce environmentally-damaging emissions and pollution. There is a continual battle with fungal, viral and bacterial diseases as well as insect pests. In the long term there is a need for new varieties able to withstand disease or more extreme conditions associated with climate change. This means preserving genetic variety and exploiting new molecular breeding techniques opened up by the sequencing of the apple genome in 2010.Drawing on an international range of expertise, this collection focuses on ways of improving the cultivation of apples as a food crop at each step in the value chain, from breeding through to post-harvest storage. The book first reviews research in apple physiology and breeding. The following sections focus on cultivation techniques through to post-harvest storage, followed by a discussion of diseases and pests and their management. Concluding chapters address wider issues such as economics, consumer trends and sustainability.Achieving sustainable cultivation of apples will be a standard reference for fruit and horticultural scientists in universities, government and other research centres and companies producing apples.
