The Impact of Taxation in An Economy

The big elephant in the house! Hitting news headlines and magazines since yesternight. We then ask what are the impacts of imposing so much or increasing taxes in an economy. First of all, a basic overview of the topic we all understand is that taxes are an integral or vital part of any economy, as they provide governments with revenue that ultimately helps finance their economy. Let’s now jump into it and just figure out the possible reasons behind it and later present ways we can prevent or address this menace before it becomes bitter saliva to swallow.

Reason number one for how high taxes can cause investors to flee is that they increase the cost of doing business, increased taxes can reduce the amount of capital available for investment as well as lower profits, which will even discourage investors from putting their money into a particular market additionally; the investors may even fear investing with a threat that the government may raise the tax in the future. Another reason for fleeing is that they create distortions. For instance, taxes on imported products can lead to a preference for local products, which could affect the competitiveness of local firms.

Finally, admiration of taxes can also cause investors to flee if the tax system is overly complex, corrupt, or inefficient, hence discouraging investors or slowing the investment rate. An inefficient tax system could delay tax refunds, and a corrupt tax system could subject investors to extortion and harassment. Investors could also be frustrated with the amount of time and money they have to spend on tax compliance, which could discourage them from investing in the country.

To address this problem, the government should adopt policies that promote investments. One such kind is the reduction of tax rates, particularly for investors and businesses. This reduction will attract more investors, increase investment and create more jobs; the government can also implement incentives for investors, such as tax breaks or rather tax holidays, to encourage and motivate them to invest in specific sectors of the economy.

Another policy simplifies the tax system, easing the tax compliance burden, reducing corruption and enhancing transparency. Finally, the government must consider engaging with the investors and business people and listen to their concerns, then develop an elaborate tax model and rate. By so doing, we will for sure address the elephant and finally have a robust boost to the economy.
