Furthermore, the book examines tax reliefs and rates, and how the different types of taxation - flat, progressive, and regressive taxes, can impact economic, social, and environmental development. In the last section, the author discusses how to achieve economic, social, and environmental effects through taxation. This book will appeal not only to academics working in this field, but also to practitioners whowould like in-depth insights into these topics.
