State Tax Policy and State Sales Taxes
Tax expenditure budgets provide a window into intended tax policy. They sort the mixture that adopted tax laws represent by dividing tax structures into provisions that define how revenue is to be raised (tax policy) and provisions that deliver preferences to certain economic entities (budget policy).
