Are you referring to income tax here, or all tax together? If income tax, then that would be the single issue bracketed taxation hopes to avert (most). Are there references for this in Britain?
No. It's not an alternative, which is exactly why we have a complex tax system today. What will really work towards "our goals" (
) is something more radical: tax beyond currency.
As far as I know modern governments officially only accept contributions in their specified currency. To achieve flexibility, we need a return to complementary taxation in kind, and not in the sense of translatable valuation, which would trivialize the whole endeavor. What most will protest at is the one power needed for states to make this feasible, namely individualized tax prescription and binding assignment of
tasks as well as traditional money transfers.
One protocol may be to do away with single common deadlines in place of continual 'collection' and assessment activities (perhaps sometimes on unscheduled basis) dependent on the prior individual records.
At first it would be enormously difficult and complicated, because the first task would be for governments to throw out their old codes and reorganize themselves around the new forms of contribution. An interesting side effect would be to destroy the platforms of whoever it is that calls for a return to the "gold standard".
