12 Theory and Pracice: VAT and Inergeneraional equiy In heory, VAT is equivalen o ax on lifeime income. Lifeime consumpion = Life ime income For he elderly, VAT serves o ax on heir savings/asses which hey wihdraw o consume Old ime consumpion = Pension + savings asses (inclusive of ineress) Compared o SSC ha is mosly born by he working age populaions, VAT financed social expendiure works o improve iner-generaional equiy.

13 Theory and Pracice: Consumpion ax shock in Japan! In Japan, consumpion subsanially declines a he ime of raising is VAT rae from 5% o 8% on April 2014 Ineremporal subsaion effec of consumpion was subsanial wih consumpion increasing jus before he VAT rae hike and diminishing aferward Macro economy was emporarily disurbed Growh rae recorded minus in he wo consecuive quarers in 2014 Source :IMF Aricle IV Consulaion

Given ha social expendiure is increasing, delaying ax increase requires furher ax increase in he fuure Fuure economy will be undermined Tax smoohing Compared o oher axes like CIT, consumpion ax (VAT) is growh friendly in he mid and long erm. ⒑% VAT rae Curren level =8% Oc.2019 Smoohing ax rae Delay in Tax increase More han 15%?
