“Revenue Estimating: Evolving Toward Conflict or Consensus?

The Tax Foundation held its 41st Annual Conference in New York City the afternoon of November 29, 1989. The subjects we chose to address — one domestic issue, revenue estimation, and one international issue, taxation of multinationals — are ones that the Tax Foundation feels need more attention from the fiscal policy community.

A tax is a mandatory payment or charge collected by local, state, and national governments from individuals or businesses to cover the costs of general government services, goods, and activities.
