Excerpt
Excerpt: The mayor difference between the cash flow tax and the comprehensive income tax outlined in chapter 3 is that the change in an individual's net worth is effectively excluded from the base of the cash flow tax. In many other respects, the two taxes are alike. Consumption is included in both tax bases. The measure of consumption in the cash flow proposal is broadly similar to that in the comprehensive income tax proposal; it differs mainly in that it includes the flow of consumption from consumer durables and owner-occupied housing and certain other forms of in-kind consumption. The treatment of the family unit for tax purposes is the same in both the comprehensive income and cash flow proposals.
