LOL, You've tried that tactic before remember?
Yeah, and never were able to admint that Payne's $800 billion includes individual tax compliance. And when I asked you how the Robbin's came up with their 33.6% federal tax burden in consumer prices, you couldn't answer that one either. But still you do your cut & pasties.

You say $800 billion in corporate tax compliance in 1995, the government collected $157 billion in corporate income taxes in 1995, so you believe for every dollar they collected in 1995 there are $5 dollars in compliance costs?

LOL, nothing to be admitted, once again you spin rather that treat facts.

Payne's factor calculates a much higher value than $800billion, As the response here showed:

No I stated $800 billion in business tax compliance for 2000, the base I used for calculations.

Bottomline.

The $800 billion estimate is a conservative value for the cost of compliance on business factors affecting price alone.
