Solving Alaska's Fiscal Gap:

 

WEST - Windfall Equal Sharing Tax

 

 

 

Dr. Sharman Haley Presentation

 

 

Proposal by Oilwatch Alaska. "Alaska and the oil Industry are both subject to the vicissitudes of changing oil prices. While it is appropriate that oil companies directly benefit from rising prices, Oilwatch Alaska believes that State revenue policies should ensure that the State also receives an appropriate share of those rising prices. Analysis of State revenue and Industry profits at various oil prices suggests the Industry captures a lopsidedly large share of the gains from rising oil prices. The Windfall Equal Sharing Tax (WEST) is designed to remedy this problem." - Quoted from proposal.

For more than half of Alaska households, paying income taxes would be cheaper than giving up part of their Permanent Fund dividends. That's assuming either measure raised the same amount for state government. Learn about that and other fiscal facts in a new presentation developed by Sharman Haley, associate professor of public policy at ISER, to help Alaskans understand fiscal issues.
