Abstract
The GST is a value-added tax (VAT). Countries which impose a VAT are faced with problems and have proposed various solutions. North Cyprus and Bolivia, for example, refund some of the VAT paid on the purchases for which final consumers have obtained official receipts from sellers. In this article, the authors measure the compliance costs to taxpayers and the administration costs to the tax authorities in these two countries. Although similar schemes are not likely to be directly copied in Canada, the authors provide data to show how high compliance and administration costs can go when governments single-mindedly pursue the goal of controlling VAT evasion. The total VAT compliance and administration costs incurred by North Cyprus (in 2003) and Bolivia (in 2002) are estimated at, respectively, 1.50 and 1.55 times the total budgetary expenditures to administer the entire domestic tax system. In both countries, the compliance and administration costs of the VAT refund schemes amounted to more than the 5 percent of the total revenues collected by the VAT systems.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
