Comparison with the Tobin Tax

As of November 2011, the term "Tobin tax" is often used as a synonym for the Robin Hood tax. The Robin Hood FTT variant is similar to the original Tobin tax proposal but would apply to a broader set of financial sector transactions. Tobin suggested a form of currency transaction tax. This is a type of financial transaction tax, which taxes specific types of currency transaction. This term has been most commonly associated with the financial sector, as opposed to consumption taxes paid by consumers.
Another difference between the Robin Hood FTT and the Tobin Tax is that the Tobin Tax was intended primarily to stabilize the economic market rather than generate revenue.[40][41] Economists and analysts are now divided as to whether a small transaction tax would have a significant braking effect on the velocity of trades. According to the campaigning organization, the Robin Hood Tax campaign presents the raising of revenue for domestic use and to fund international aid as a leading aim.[42]
