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.
