Pros and cons for offering 5%-10% discount if you file your tax returns 3 month earlier than due date?

Insane. You are in long term financial trouble so you going to give up 5-10% of your income just to get the income a few weeks earlier? That's an effective interest rate of over 20% per year.Wow.

You are better off making a deal with Goldman Sachs. independent.co.uk/news/busine… It would be expensive, but much cheaper than your discount.

Hmm... Honestly I'm just an undergrad econ student, but I don't understand the question.. But from what I think you said... If a govt did that, they better just need some short term money for some reason, because it would bite them in the *** in the long-run. And govts (hopefully) never think in such short terms. So this seems like an insane idea for a govt.

I don't think that people that have never paid taxes would suddenly start because of a 10% discount. Most of the people that are even able to get away with it wouldnt even actually owe money.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
