OECD Countries' Tax Policies Under Scrutiny: Uncovering Justification Flaws
The article explores how governments in OECD countries choose their tax policies. It looks at the reasons behind these choices and examines common trends among these countries. The authors analyze recent tax policies, critique their justifications, and provide examples of policy decisions. They discuss various types of taxes, such as income tax, business taxes, and consumption taxes, and evaluate the arguments used by governments to support their tax policies. The study also compares the tax choices of 25 OECD countries to identify similarities and differences. This research is valuable for students, policymakers, politicians, and anyone interested in understanding tax systems.
