The danger of being responsible for me, myself and I…

Page 18: future of taxes iskander smit

May 31, 2012

…is the gap between me and the government. And my fellow citizens.

Page 19: future of taxes iskander smit

Session Future of involvement; objectives

§  Starting point: are we loosing involvement and engagement by the middle class due to disconnection from nation states.

§  How can we organize engagement by using principles of tracing everything by the Internet of Things.

§  Central question: how would a society without a tax administration look like. A society based on the concept of useful contributing by civilians and facilitation by government.

§  How can we reach a situation of voluntary contribution? §  Participants of: Belastingdienst, Waag Society, Council Internet of Things,

ING, Vestia, Hubbub, Hack de Overheid, Ministerie van Justitie, Gemeente Amsterdam, Dyndy, Federatie Creatieve Industrie, Amnesty International,

Themes discussed

§  A new role for governments §  with a changing connection between citizen and government; can technology serve as

binding element

§  Solidarity and engagement §  individualism will not last for ever. Trust is key. Is bottom-up trust possible? Developing

of new reputation systems

§  Changing valuation of possession and transparency §  how manageable is our technology, who owns the internet of things. Trust is provided

with transparency

Recommendations

Enable a Darwinistic government. Create a set of basic rule set for the general interest and experiment with the rest.

The personal data stays in possession of the citizen.

This is achieved by creating a parallel government that manage this rule set and takes the experimental approach as start.

With transparency as fundament.

So Human scale, laid back government

society engagement will be organized in two ways

transparency and control for engagement

we want to know how our money is spent

this should be connected to the general purposes of contribution

long-term decisions are stimulated by bigger stories

but personal relevance is key

use simulations to interpret the impact of choices

and your choices are validated by learning from your actual behaviour

paying for use in context

Page 28: future of taxes iskander smit

contribution based on personal use

every use of products/services leaves trails, connected to taxes on use

the context of use plays an important role as multiplier

Always real-time. Behaviour is influenced through taxes on use.

trust is provided through delegating the control of the data to the citizen

the data is open to use in other contexts, chosen by the citizen

value chain

service layer

filtering layer

smart city layer

all objects can be tracked, logged and traced

leveraging the data by ISPs

personal driven selection of relevant data

the sensing planet emerging from the data

Rob van Kranenburg, 2012

Page 30: future of taxes iskander smit

So the future of taxes will be defined by the new relation we have with society…

Page 31: future of taxes iskander smit

May 31, 2012

… and the future of taxes will be highly personal and contextual driven. Realtime.

Page 32: future of taxes iskander smit

May 31, 2012

This can only work if we get full insights and control. Trust is an embedded asset.
