Abstract

This paper reviews the economics of taxation. It falls into three parts. The first part examines the rationale of excise taxation by reference to the non-revenue objectives that are pursued through the imposition of the various duties. The second part discusses the instruments that can be applied, i.e. duties, regulations and permits. The third part reviews some issues - discrimination, coordination and earmarking - that often arise in connection with excise taxation.
