Page created February 18

This article was created in response to the Globalize template on the article Border-adjustment tax created by User:Sixthy on February 14, 2017. Some content is this article was adapted from Border-adjustment tax Contributing editors to the article of origin Border-adjustment tax included Dexbot, BlaueBlüte, Postcard Cathy, and FriyMan.

There may be some duplication at this time, but as much as possible, the content that was duplicated was content I edited.Oceanflynn (talk) 20:58, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Clarity

There needs to be a much clearer separation throughout this article betwen the theory/logic of BAT, and the politics about implimenting it. The section on "Comparison to VAT", for example, needs to start by being much clearer on the technical differences, and only then (if ever) discuss "the hackles of Republican policymakers".

Care needed

I've just reverted this text added by Wikideas1 under "How it would work":

A BAT of 20% would only apply to the profit margin of a product, so if a product had a 10% profit margin with a 20% BAT tax, that would equal 2% of the value of the good, compared to the VAT that taxes the whole value of the good.

Why?

- It's probably best to leave the VAT comparison out of this sentence (cover insteadin th explicit section for that)
- This is just plain wrong - VAT (as the name suggests) is a tax on the "added value", not the "whole value of the good".

We need to ensure that what we add is accurate.Snori (talk) 20:37, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
