The impact of taxation as an instrument of social policy is central in influencing redistribution and behaviour. This collection fills a significant gap in both literatures, bringing together disparate debates in this emerging area of analysis.
It explores the key interactions of tax and social policies and the central debates and challenges posed by their effect on each other. It examines how analyses might be combined and policy options developed for more effective delivery and impact in both areas.
