Brauner: Taxation Of Information And The Data Revolution

Yariv Brauner (Florida; Google Scholar), Taxation of Information and the Data Revolution, 109 Iowa L. Rev. 1959 (2024):

Iowa law reviewExisting and universal income tax rules are inherently incompatible with an economy in which information-based transactions play a significant role. This Article contends that income taxation is incapable of taxing information effectively. It goes on to argue that this incapability currently necessitates reform, and it offers three viable paths to such reform: consumption taxation, data taxes, and formulary taxation. 

The Article concludes that formulary taxation is currently the most desirable and plausible path to effective reform, owing to its promise to best stabilize and maintain the legitimacy of the international tax regime.
