Taxation is crucial to the functioning of the modern state. Tax revenues pay for
public services - roads, the courts, defence, welfare assistance to the poor and
elderly, and in many countries much of health care and education too. More
than one third of national income in the industrialized (OECD) countries is on
average taken in taxation. Taxes affect individuals in many ways. Taxes paid
on income and spending directly reduce taxpayer disposable income,
taxpayersface the hassle of tax returns and making payments, and they may
be anxious about the possibility of investigation and enforcement action.
People also adapt their activities in various ways to reduce the impact of
taxation - putting money into tax-free savings accounts, or making shopping
trips toother countries where taxes are lower. Taxation is therefore central to
politics and public debate. Politicians that make reckless campaign promises
