Description

The tax burden is a key indicator reflecting the scale of state participation in the economy and the level of pressure exerted on economic agents. This article examines the theoretical and practical aspects of the tax burden and analyzes its impact on economic growth. Particular attention is given to the relationship between tax rates, investment activity, employment, productivity, and business development. The study explores how excessive tax burdens may constrain entrepreneurial incentives and capital accumulation, while an optimally structured tax system can stimulate economic activity and ensure sustainable growth. Using analytical and comparative approaches, the article evaluates the role of direct and indirect taxes, tax administration efficiency, and fiscal policy design in shaping growth outcomes. Based on the analysis, the paper identifies key challenges and proposes policy recommendations aimed at optimizing the tax burden in order to promote long-term economic development.
