Effective Tax Rates""; ""REFERENCES"" 330 3 $aThis paper provides an overview of full and partial allowance for corporate equity (ACE) tax systems in practice. In the recent past, ACE systems have been used in Austria, Croatia, and Italy. Brazil still applies a variant of such a system and Belgium introduced one this year. This paper summarizes the empirical literature on past ACE systems, and provides a theoretical and empirical assessment of the Brazilian ACE variant. The main finding is that the Brazilian reform introduced an ACE system for a minority of firms only, with the majority instead having a system of dividend deductibility. Despite the reduction in the tax preference for debt finance, capital structures have not changed much, but dividends have increased. Investment appears to have benefited from the reform, although the extent to which this was due to the new structure rather than the tax cut is unclear. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/259 606 $aCorporations$xFinance 606 $aCorporations$xTaxation 606 $aAllowance for corporate equity$2imf 606 $aBusiness Taxes and Subsidies$2imf 606 $aCorporate & business tax$2imf 606 $aCorporate income tax$2imf 606 $aCorporate Taxation$2imf 606 $aCorporations$2imf 606 $aEffective tax rate$2imf 606 $aFinancial Instruments$2imf 606 $aIncome tax systems$2imf 606 $aIncome tax$2imf 606 $aInstitutional Investors$2imf 606 $aInvestment & securities$2imf 606 $aInvestments: Stocks$2imf 606 $aNon-bank Financial Institutions$2imf 606 $aPension Funds$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aStocks$2imf 606 $aTax administration and procedure$2imf 606 $aTaxation$2imf 606 $aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General$2imf 607 $aBrazil$2imf 615 0$aCorporations$xFinance. 615 0$aCorporations$xTaxation. 615 7$aAllowance for corporate equity 615 7$aBusiness Taxes and Subsidies 615 7$aCorporate & business tax 615 7$aCorporate income tax 615 7$aCorporate Taxation 615 7$aCorporations 615 7$aEffective tax rate 615 7$aFinancial Instruments 615 7$aIncome tax systems 615 7$aIncome tax 615 7$aInstitutional Investors 615 7$aInvestment & securities 615 7$aInvestments: Stocks 615 7$aNon-bank Financial Institutions 615 7$aPension Funds 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aStocks 615 7$aTax administration and procedure 615 7$aTaxation 615 7$aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General 700 $aKlemm$b Alexander$01815705 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973346103321 996 $aAllowances for Corporate Equity in Practice$94371222 997 $aUNINA
