Summary: | The study of tax policy is concerned with the design of a tax system that is capable of financing the necessary level of public spending in the most efficient and equitable way possible. In developing countries with emerging markets, and especially in those that aim at becoming integrated with the international economy, tax policy must play a particularly sensitive role. In these countries, the tax system should: (1) raise enough revenue to finance essential expenditures without recourse to excessive public sector borrowing; (2) raise the revenue in ways that are equitable and that minimize its disincentive effects on economic activities; and (3) do so in ways that do not deviate substantially from international norms.
