This is a technical work, though not heavy on mathematics. The discussion applies primarily to banking in the United Kingdom. It presents the findings of a project on the interplay between
regulation and taxation of banks, which is related to a project on the ethical aspect of lending to people on low incomes, and another asking which institutions were responsible for the
financial crisis. These projects are under the umbrella of FinCris, which aims to improve public understanding of the crisis and industry and regulatory understanding of the ethical issues
raised by the crisis. How, it is asked, do responsibilities for what has gone wrong create obligations to those badly affected by the crisis? The chapters in the book cover: taxation and bank
risk-taking, policy implications of the tax distortions in securitization; corporate income tax versus bank levy in bank taxation; an assessment of securities transaction tax in Europe;
prospective effects of VAT on financial services; and ethical taxation. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
