Course Description

ax expenditures have been around for more than 50 years, but there has not been a systematic evaluation or reform of them during that time. Why should anyone be thinking about tax expenditures now?

Governments worldwide face growing funding needs and cannot afford to continue offering tax deductions and incentives that harm the socioeconomic sustainability of their populations.

Learning Objectives:


  • Recognize the politics of tax expenditures
