prolonged debate For one thing, as a tax on consumption it
has been criticized as regressive — it would hit the lesa-
afluent, who spend a larger share of income on consump-
tion of necessities, than it would the rich Also, it could
have an inflationary impact since by being built into
consumer goods prices it would tend to raise them.
On the other hand, It would be easier to collect And
because it would tap fairly consistent consumption ratber
than fluctuating incomes, It would be a steadier revenue
producer for government through good economic times
and bad Easing the tax load on the better off and on
investment is an advantage from the business point of
view, since it would encourage capital formation
And Blumenthal, who sees congressional action on VAT
by 1861, believes that regressive effect could be limited by
exempting some items and taxing luxuries at higher rates.
VAT would not replace other taxes, but would be
included in a general mix that would permit reduction of
existing rates on incomes and possibly property Blumen-
thal suggests a federal split of one-half of revenues from

there has more than piqued Washington's interest
Basically, VAT is a sales tax levied progressively, at
each stage of the production and marketing process,
rather than all at once on the actual sale of finished
products. Each manufacturer and distributor in the chain
subtracts payments for materials received from the
proceeds realized in passing products on to the next link
and pays tax on the difference By the time the finished
item reaches the consumer, the total tax made of many
separate taxes already paid is totally camouflaged in the
retail price. There is no “plus tax" entry on the sales slip
That's part of the beauty of it, according to Treasury
Secretary W Michael Blumenthal: “Politicians like it
because it's a tax you can't see. although you do feel it."
Blumenthal has put the administration on record as
favoring serious consideration of adding VAT to the U.S.
tax system. There should be no trouble getting Congress to
agree since both Sen. Russell Long, D-La.. chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee, and Rep. Al Ullman, D-Ore..
chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, are
already favorably disposed The subject is thus virtually
certain to come up during the current Congress.
Action on it, however, may be somewhat delayed since"
there are some objections to VAT that could provoke
