Taxation and Regulation: The Backbone ofEconomic Order
Keywords:
Taxation, Regulatory Framework, Economic Governance, Compliance, Fiscal PolicyAbstract
A healthy and well-functioning economy is built on a strong system of taxes and rules. Taxes are the main way that governments get money to pay for public goods and services, close the income gap, and change how people act in the economy. Regulatory frameworks set the norms and standards for how the market functions, making sure that economic agents are open, responsible, and compete fairly. This article talks about how taxes and regulations are connected. It shows how effective tax systems depend on good regulatory monitoring to make sure people follow the rules and don’t try to avoid paying taxes. It also looks at how regulatory bodies help make tax laws that are fair, work well, and can change with the economy. The report also looks at modern problems including globalisation, digitalisation, and ways to evade paying taxes, which need coordinated responses from regulators at both the national and international levels. The article emphasises the significance of the interplay between taxes and regulatory governance in enhancing economic stability, encouraging sustainable growth, and preserving public confidence in political systems.
