Explain the advantages and disadvantages for citizens of governments' use of tax expenditures.
(91) VerifiedTax expenditures consist of tax credits and tax deductions that individuals or companies can claim by spending money in certain ways: contributing to political parties, making certain kinds of investments, donating to charities, and so on.Tax expenditures do not actually involve taxing or spending by government; rather, they are tax-based incentives to use individual or corporate income in particular ways.Tax expenditures are widely used because they are basically invisible and do not attract much criticism; they neither seem to cost any money nor involve any sort of coercion.However, they do come at a cost.They result in reducing the amount of revenue that the government would otherwise receive and that it could use for redistributive purposes by billions of dollars a year.Those who are unaware of, or do not qualify for such tax credits, especially lower-income individuals, end up paying higher taxes to make up the difference.
