Omar Chisari, Antonio Estache and Gaëtan Nicodème

Working Papers ECARES from ULB -- Universite Libre de Bruxelles

Abstract: This paper assesses the effects of applying VAT or a sales tax on (intermediate or final) sales of the financial sector. It uses a CGE Model calibrated for a small open economy. It highlights the differentiated sectoral and redistributional effects of these taxes and shows the importance of the financial openness of the economy on these results.
