Question
Which of the following is not a canon of taxation as
stated by Adam Smith?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 .
