Around the world, there are concerns that many tax codes are
biased against women, and that contemporary tax reforms tend to
increase the incidence of taxation on the poorest women while
failing to generate enough revenue to fund the programs needed to
improve these women's lives. Because taxes are the key source of
revenue governments themselves raise, understanding the nature and
composition of taxation and current tax reform efforts is key to
reducing poverty, providing sufficient revenue for public
expenditure, and achieving social justice.
This is the first book to systematically examine gender and
taxation within and across countries at different levels of
development. It presents original research on the gender dimensions
of personal income taxes, and value-added, excise, and fuel taxes
in Argentina, Ghana, India, Mexico, Morocco, South Africa, Uganda
and the United Kingdom. This book will be of interest to
postgraduates and researchers studying Public Finance,
International Economics, Development Studies, Gender Studies, and
International Relations, among other disciplines.
