Book Description
This book provides English-speakers with a comprehensive description and incisive critique of the Japanese tax system. The third edition explores the Japanese government's latest round of tax reforms - a reaction to the country's prolonged period of recession following the collapse of the 'bubble' phenomenon in 1991. Two brand new chapters discuss the effect of environmental taxes and land tax reform, and much of the original data and empirical material has been updated.
Editorial Reviews
Review
On a previous edition "This is an excellent book on an important subject. It should be in the library of all serious students of taxation, for at least two reasons. Professor Ishi's thorough and expert description and analysis of the Japanese tax system, as updated in this edition, obviously makes this book the standard reference on this important subject. Moreover, his stimulating treatment of the role played by tax policy in bringing about Japan's postwar "economic miracle" should be required reading for those in all countries who are today seeking to locate once more the keys to the kingdom of economic growth."--Richard M. Bird, University of Toronto
