taxation system

Government collection method

A taxation system is the framework of laws, policies, and administrative procedures a government uses to collect revenue from individuals and businesses.

This includes what gets taxed (income, property, sales, imports), at what rates, and how compliance is enforced.

The country overhauled its taxation system to close loopholes.

Different taxation systems reflect different philosophies about fairness, economic growth, and the role of government.
