Tax Foundations

Tax foundations refer to the fundamental principles and systems that underpin taxation in a society. They encompass concepts such as the purpose of taxes (funding public services), the fairness of tax systems (equity), and efficiency (minimizing economic distortions). Tax foundations also explore different types of taxes (income, sales, property) and how they impact individuals and businesses. A strong tax foundation ensures that a tax system is understandable, just, and capable of generating necessary revenue while fostering economic growth and social welfare. Understanding these foundations helps citizens grasp the rationale behind tax policies and their implications.
