Abstract

Turkey faced with two important economic crises in the last decade. The faults in Turkish fiscal system have had important shares in these economic crises. The crises have also affected Turkish fiscal system. Moreover, the indirect taxes in a considerable amount are the most important feature of Turkish fiscal system. So, Turkish tax system is often criticized as unjust. It is argued that Turkish economy has overcame the last economic crisis sooner by means of its tax system, because the indirect taxes are more sensitive to conjecture and more elastic than the direct taxes in Turkish economy. In this paper, after the cyclical sensitivity of the taxes in Turkish economy is tested for the period of 1998:01-2010:06, their sensitivity to the crises and their efficiencies as automatic stabilizers are analyzed.
