| Training | | Tax Policy (and revenue forecasting) | | | | | | Introduction | | Tax policy deals with a combination of economic and legal considerations in designing tax systems that balance the contrasting goals of raising sufficient revenue, ensuring a more equal distribution of resources, and relatively low costs of administration and compliance. This requires a careful analysis of the economic effects of taxation, the incidence of taxes and the administrative problems associated with various tax instruments. ECORYS' expertise
