This book does not present a single philosophical approach to taxation and ethics, but instead demonstrates the divergence in opinions and approaches using a framework consisting of three broad categories: tax policy and design of tax law; ethical standards for tax advisors and taxpayers; and tax law enforcement. In turn, the book addresses a number of moral questions in connection with taxes, concerning such topics as:

  • the nature of government
  • the relation between government (the state) and its subjects or citizens
  • the moral justification of taxes
  • the link between property and taxation
  • tax planning, evasion and avoidance
  • corporate social responsibility
  • the use of coercive power in collecting taxes and enforcing tax laws
  • ethical standards for tax advisors
  • tax payer rights
  • the balance between individual rights to liberty and privacy, and government compliance and information requirements
  • the moral justification underlying the efforts of legislators and policymakers to restructure society and steer individual and corporate behavior
