Podcasts about Tax policy

Ohio has the eighth highest property tax rates in the nation, with some homeowners seeing increases of more than 30% in their property valuations in recent years. Reform efforts have proliferated, from caps on tax increases to reductions in approved levies, and a grassroots movement seeks to make Ohio the first state to abolish property taxes altogether. Yet with public schools and local governments relying on property taxes to fund large portions of their budgets, how can the system be overhauled without creating civic chaos? And how did we even get here in the first place?rnrnIn partnership with Ideastream Public Media and as a kickoff to the Ideastream Explores: Property Taxes series, Sound of Ideas host Stephanie Haney will lead a conversation with area experts on public services, tax policy, and public finance. They will outline how and why the debate around property taxes recently culminated with a push for statewide abolishment, and what we can expect on the road ahead.

Today on Politics Wednesday, Mark Mitchell and Ginny Andersen joined Mike Hosking to delve into some of the biggest stories of the week thus far. They discussed the Greens' tax plan, the truth around the alleged selling off of conservation land, and Chris Bishop's yoga classes. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lara Greaves phones in for political commentary, to chat about National's Kiwisaver policy, the Green's Tax Policy, and coalition tensions. Whakarongo mai nei!

The Greens' tax policy is only a day old and there is already a big maths problem with it. They counted $100 million a year as income when it was really an expense. It was money they had set aside to run the new tax system. So, instead of $100 million over four years coming in, it is now going out, creating an $800 million hole in their budget. They didn't see it. Brad Olsen, who checked their numbers, didn't see it either. The media were the ones who spotted it and the Greens only realised the mistake after receiving a few phone calls. Now, it's a problem - but I don't want to blow it out of proportion. It's not the end of the world for the Greens. It's a mistake they can explain, even though it's hard to understand how something this significant was missed. However, no one really takes the Greens seriously when it comes to money so this kind of error won't help them. What it will do is open up every calculation in that package to further scrutiny. They'll have to defend it with more than just, “Brad checked it, it's fine,” because clearly, it wasn't fine. On the politics of this - which is a separate issue from the mathematics - I reckon they've made another mistake by being too greedy. They've proposed a 45 percent tax rate for anyone earning more than $160,000. But $160,000 a year isn't rich - it's middle-income. Raising a family on that amount isn't easy. I think this risks losing the Greens support among people in well-off suburbs who want to save the planet and reduce child poverty - but not if it means paying 45 percent instead of the current 33 percent on income over $160,000. That's a huge jump. I'm surprised the Greens have made a mistake like this because they've already been told not to be so ambitious. It's why they lifted their wealth tax threshold to net assets over $10 million. Cast your mind back to the last election- it was $2 million. They moved it from $2 million to $10 million because they said people told them it was too low. My guess is they're about to learn the same lesson again with their proposed 45 percent income tax rate starting at $160,000. It's too low.

The Greens say they've 'had words' with one of the country's most well-known economists over a maths mistake in its tax policy. It's issued a correction, saying the policy released yesterday will increase net revenue $5.15 billion dollars in the 2027/28 financial year - not $5.35 billion. Co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick says consultancy Infometrics - headed by Brad Olsen - had the job of analysing the policy figures. "It was supposed to be our insurance. This is, I think, just human error - and I know that Brad is also more than willing to front up for this." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Green Party has its tax policy ahead of the election, including wealth and inheritance taxes, and a higher tax for corporations. Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The Green Party has its sights set on tackling inequality and corporate greed. It's set to reveal a raft of election tax changes, it says will rebuild the country and put more money in the pockets of 96 percent of New Zealanders. The changes include new super rich, inheritance and gift taxes, a higher tax rate for big corporations, and a levy on liabilities for the four big banks.

The Opportunity Party says a property tax shake-up's front of mind. The Party needs 5% to break into the Beehive, and has been scoring between 3% and 6% in polls. The centrist party's proposing a blanket Land Value Tax, claiming it'll bring house prices down by up to 15%. Leader Qiulae Wong told Kerre Woodham they want land banking to become less attractive.

Send us Fan MailJoin Professor Jeffrey Sachs and tax policy expert Professor Dorothy A. Brown for a thought-provoking discussion of her books, The Whiteness of Wealth and Getting to Reparations. Drawing on decades of research, Brown examines how seemingly race-neutral tax policies have contributed to widening racial wealth disparities in the United States and explores what meaningful economic repair could look like in practice.Together, they discuss how the U.S. tax system has historically advantaged white households while limiting wealth-building opportunities for Black Americans. The conversation explores the hidden ways tax policy shapes homeownership, education, employment, and intergenerational wealth, as well as the broader historical forces that continue to influence economic inequality today. Brown also outlines her vision for reparations, arguing that confronting the legacy of slavery and systemic discrimination is essential to building a more equitable society.This episode offers listeners a deeper understanding of the intersection of race, public policy, and economic justice. It challenges conventional assumptions about fairness in the tax code and invites a broader conversation about how societies can address historical harms while creating more inclusive pathways to opportunity and prosperity. The Book Club with Jeffrey Sachs is brought to you by the SDG Academy, the flagship education initiative of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

In this timely and highly practical episode of The First Day from The Fund Raising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., welcomes Jon Bergdoll, MA, interim director of data and research partnerships at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, for a clear-eyed conversation about what the 2025 federal tax policy changes could mean for charitable giving. The episode opens with an important reminder that taxes are not the only force shaping generosity, but they do matter, and they matter enough to influence billions of dollars in giving behavior. Drawing on new research from the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, Jon explains that the overall effect of the policy is expected to be a modest drag on giving, roughly $5.5 to $6 billion annually, even as one major provision, the return of the universal charitable deduction, could bring more than 8 million donors into or back into the donor pool. That tension gives the episode its central insight: tax policy can expand participation while still reducing total dollars, because not all donors give at the same scale. What makes the discussion especially useful is the way Bill and Jon unpack how unevenly those effects are likely to be distributed. Smaller and midsize donors who do not itemize may actually increase their giving thanks to the new deduction, creating a projected gain of around $4 billion. At the same time, higher-income households face several new limitations that are expected to reduce giving by roughly $8 billion, a much larger effect because these donors account for a disproportionate share of total philanthropy. The episode does an excellent job of translating technical policy into practical fundraising implications, especially for organizations trying to understand whether this matters for their own donor base. Jon offers an important caution here: even organizations that do not think they serve top-tier donors may still be receiving gifts from wealthy individuals whose giving is spread across many causes. Bill reinforces the point with his usual clarity, reminding listeners that aggregate research is most valuable when it helps frame smarter, more informed conversations with actual donors. As the episode concludes, the focus shifts from prediction to action, and this is where the conversation becomes especially valuable for frontline fundraisers. Jon emphasizes that tax incentives only work when donors know they exist, noting that many households still misunderstand whether they itemize and what giving is deductible. That means nonprofits have a real opportunity, and perhaps a real responsibility, to educate supporters about the universal charitable deduction and to communicate clearly that they are qualified charitable organizations. Bill draws the lesson together beautifully: this is not simply a policy story, it is a donor-relations story. Fundraisers should not panic, and they should not assume every donor will react the same way. Instead, they should use the research as a baseline, ask better questions, and help donors understand how the new rules may intersect with their values and giving plans. For organizations navigating a shifting philanthropic landscape, this episode offers both grounding and direction, showing that even in the world of tax policy, the most important work still begins with knowing your donors well.

On this episode of Stanford Legal, host Professor Richard Thompson Ford talks taxes with Darien Shanske, JD '06, a UC Davis law professor and visiting professor at Stanford Law, who helped draft California's proposed Billionaire Tax Act, which supporters hope to place on the November 2026 ballot. Shanske explains why he believes critics have often attacked a distorted version of the proposal, not the measure itself: a one-time 5% tax on net worth above $1 billion, payable over five years, aimed at helping California respond to widening wealth inequality and cuts to the social safety net. The conversation explores the legal design of the measure, the politics surrounding it, and the larger questions it raises about tax fairness, concentrated wealth, and what tools states should have when public needs are acute.   Links: Darien Shanske >>> Stanford Law page Connect: Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast Website Stanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn Page Rich Ford >>>  Twitter/X Pam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School Page Stanford Law School >>> Twitter/X Stanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/X (00:00:32) Origins of the Billionaire Tax (00:05:28) Why a Wealth Tax?  (00:12:07) Will Billionaires Flee?  (00:19:06) Legal Challenges, Residency, and Retroactivity  (00:26:48) The National Picture  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Doug McHoney (PwC's International Tax Services Global Leader) is joined by Steve Kohart, a New York City-based international tax partner at PwC and former advisor to the OECD's Center for Tax Policy and Administration. Doug and Steve discuss the January side-by-side agreement's implications for US-parented multinationals, why Pillar Two remains relevant through QDMTTs, and how the CBCR transitional safe harbor bridges to the permanent simplified ETR safe harbor. They unpack what ‘simplified' really means: financial accounting standards, denominator and numerator adjustments, deferred tax ‘bad DTLs,' and the practical reality of a third set of books. The conversation also covers JV complications, Chapter 6 M&A/reorg rules, transition provisions (9.1.1–9.1.3) and excess negative taxes, new flexibility for return-to-provision adjustments, integrity rules, and what guidance and compliance planning teams should prioritize next.
