SALES #: 02.II.H.2 ISBN: 9211231477 SYMBOL: ST/ESA/PAD/SER.E/30 PAGES: 102pp. PRICE: $20.00 DESCRIPTION: The process of globalization has tended to complicate taxation issues leading to "harmful" tax competition. It has made taxpayers more aware of the differences in tax rates and has constrained the ability of tax administrations to track down trade and investment flows. By increasing significantly the amount and type of income earned abroad, globalization also reduces the ability to verify the accuracy and authenticity of taxpayers' returns. The erosion of existing sources of public finance can be resisted and the use of public resources may be more effectively secured for social development through tying revenue to outlay, or at least to the relevant level of government, and through fiscal stabilization. This publication looks at the role of tax administration in resource mobilization; tax policy, administration and reform; the management of revenue administration; electronic commerce and the challenge for tax administrations; and conclusions and recommendations.

The conditions and regulations in which civil aviation operates must be further developed in order to satisfy and reconcile customer expectations and environmental requirements. In this regard, it is crucial to first restore public confidence after the tragic events of 11 September 2001. Infrastructure bottlenecks also have to be properly solved or anticipated. The Air Transport Action Group (ATAG) proposes 'Partnerships' to meet society's growing mobility needs as a direct response to the major challenges facing air transport in a sustainable world. ATAG's strategy is aimed not only at cutting noise and emissions and reducing congestion, but also at maximizing the social and economic benefits of air transport. Based on an overall assessment of aviation's role, this report underlines air tranport's full commitment to sustainability.
