Addressing both the centre and states, the book: Delineates the impact of lagging revenue performance and rising expenditure; Demonstrates the costly implications of the consolidated fiscal deficit for sustainability of public debt; Assesses the impact of fiscal federalism and decentralization on economic growth; Examines the complexities in introducing a VAT and its importance for a comprehensive tax base; Discusses the ramifications of tax administration practices on the effectiveness of tax policy. The analysis reflects Shome’s international experience as a fiscal and tax expert. He provides cross-country examples from Asia, Latin America and Africa and, in particular, includes detailed comparisons on fiscal federalism from Argentina and Brazil. Fiscal experts, students and policy-makers will find the book analytical, detailed and extremely practical.
