- Some economists have argued that taxation is one of the causes of economic inefficiency. They claim that taxation creates serious adverse effects on the economy through market distortions and heavy burdens on businesses and consumers. Others argue that taxation is not only a reliable source of revenues to implement government programs and projects (building schools, roads, highways, financing research & development), but also the net loss of efficiency due to taxation is not too large as claimed. The negative effects of taxation can be eliminate by implementing an optimal tax code. Provide your arguments on how we should reform the tax code in order to allow the governments to collect tax revenues without putting unnecessary burdens to businesses and consumers. Or should the government eliminate taxation?arrow_forwardSuppose the market for cigarette is competitive.

- How a tax burden is divided between consumers and producers is called tax incidence.
