tax breaks
Government revenue discounts
Tax breaks are provisions in the tax code that reduce what individuals or businesses owe—through deductions, credits, exemptions, or lower rates.
Governments use tax breaks to encourage specific behaviors: homeownership, charitable giving, investment in certain industries.
Critics argue they disproportionately benefit the wealthy or create loopholes: The company paid nothing thanks to tax breaks.
