This research project compares the magnitudes of the harm caused to the economy by different tax forms.
Based on the results of the project, recommendations are offered towards a more efficient tax system that is less harmful to economic growth. Special attention is paid to the question of which taxes should be avoided.
Discussions about different taxes are often limited to the amount of tax revenue collected from each source. At the same time very little attention has been given to damages each of these causes. Acknowledging the extent of these disadvantages plays a central role in consideration of how the current tax system should be reformed.
