More about the book

The textbook addresses the disconnect between tax practitioners and theorists, particularly in emerging economies where local taxation history is often overlooked. It explores the rationale and principles of taxation, highlighting common errors and the impact of taxes on consumer choices and production decisions. Key principles such as efficiency, equity, stabilization, revenue productivity, administrative feasibility, and international neutrality are thoroughly discussed, emphasizing the importance of minimizing market distortions and maintaining a progressive tax structure.
