      stated by Adam Smith?
      A Canon of Equity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Canon of Simplicity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Canon of Certainty Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Canon of Convenience Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Canon of Economy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Explanation: Adam Smith, in his work The Wealth of Nations, laid down four canons (principles) of taxation: 1. Equity – taxes should be fair. 2. Certainty – taxpayers should know how much and when to pay. 3. Convenience – tax should be collected in a manner convenient for the taxpayer. 4. Economy – the cost of tax collection should be minimal. While simplicity is desirable in a tax system, it is not one of Adam Smith's original canons .
