Description
Applying taxation involves the systematic imposition and collection of financial charges by authorities to generate public revenue, regulate economic activity, and address social inequities. This strategy enables governments to fund essential services, infrastructure, and welfare programs, while also discouraging harmful behaviors or practices through targeted taxes. By adjusting tax policies and enforcement, authorities can remedy fiscal deficits, redistribute wealth, and incentivize or disincentivize specific economic or environmental outcomes.
Claim
The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest possible amount of feathers with the smallest possible amount of hissing (Jean Baptiste Colbert).
