tax reforms
Fiscal policy changes
Tax reforms are changes to a country's tax laws, typically aimed at simplifying the system, adjusting rates, closing loopholes, or shifting who bears the tax burden.
The phrase usually implies significant structural changes rather than minor adjustments: The administration promised comprehensive tax reforms.
Politicians across the spectrum advocate for tax reforms, though they often mean opposite things by the term.
