This paper assesses the effects of applying a VAT or a sales tax on (intermediate or final) sales of the financial sector. It uses a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model calibrated for a small open economy. It highlights the differentiated sectorial and redistribution effects of these taxes and shows the importance of the financial openness of the economy on these results.
