Taxing The Financial Sector Concepts Issues & Practices

The papers in this volume address the tax treatment of the primary institutions, products, and services that make up the financial sector: banks, insurance companies, securities companies, investment funds, pension funds, and derivatives. Five of the six papers were originally prepared as background materials for a technical assistance mission of the IMF's Fiscal Affairs Department to China in September 2002 to discuss the taxation of China's financial sector.
