Addressing Imperfections in the Tax System: Procedural or Substantive Reform?

In his book Perfectly Legal: The Covert Campaign to Rig Our Tax System to Benefit the Super Rich - and Cheat Everybody Else , David Cay Johnston, the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for the New York Times, covers a wide array of topics, including some that are quite complex, in a very readable way. The federal income tax system generally and tax compliance in particular are important focuses of the book, but the theme that implicitly connects chapters that otherwise appear unrelated is a variety of aspects of income inequality. Although Perfectly Legal does not make a clear case that politicians and others have combined in a covert campaign, it is nonetheless an engaging book containing many interesting stories. Some of its best chapters provide revealing insights into the inner workings of the IRS. The important effects that procedural rules can have on enforcement of the tax laws suggests that any comprehensive effort at tax simplification should address procedural complexity

Addressing Imperfections in the Tax System: Procedural or Substantive Reform?

Books about tax administration tend to fall into one of two broad categories: those that paint the Internal Revenue Service ( IRS ) as an agency peopled by corrupt, out-of-control bureaucrats who take pleasure in seeing innocent taxpayers suffer, and those that tell readers how to structure their affairs to minimize the risk of incurring an IRS employee\u27s wrath during a tax audit. Perfectly Legal, the full title of which communicates David Cay Johnston\u27s intent to focus on the tax system, does neither of those things. Instead, it is a book much like The Great American Tax Dodge, which explained the many varieties of tax fraud; the difficulties the IRS faces in pursuing high income individuals; the influence the affluent have on lawmaking; and Congress\u27s success in tying the hands of the IRS. In its strongest chapters, Perfectly Legal examines the inner workings of the IRS and describes the agency in a very different way from that represented in the popular press. While other authors may decry the threat of overzealous IRS agents, Johnston laments the inability of IRS employees to pursue known acts of noncompliance because of resource limitations and political pressures. While other authors may complain about the complexity of the Internal Revenue Code, leaving readers with the impression that the IRS is responsible for its enactment, Johnston lays blame for this complexity squarely where it belongs - with Congress and executive branch policymakers
