Introducing an Inflation-Indexed Tax System

Seminar Successfully Held on “Introducing an Inflation-Indexed Tax System”

This seminar focused on policy options for introducing an inflation-indexing mechanism that reflects changes in the inflation rate in key taxation standards, including income tax and inheritance and gift tax. Participants examined an institutional approach in which tax brackets and key thresholds are regularly adjusted in line with inflation, so that the tax burden remains consistent for the same level of real income. The seminar concluded successfully with a meaningful exchange of key issues and policy implications.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who attended.
