Course Description

At the state and national levels, there is never a shortage of tax proposals. Understanding these proposals and identifying effective reform of existing rules requires more than just knowing the direct effect of the change or rule on one taxpayer, such as a client or yourself. The ability to analyze and explain current rules and proposals in terms of their impact on an effective tax system requires consideration of principles of good tax policy. This webinar will explain these principles and their relevance to tax system design and objective critique to craft effective change. This understanding will help you explain tax proposals to clients or your employer and help you advise and ask good questions of elected officials and those running for office.

Learning Objectives:


  • Recall the fundamental principles of good tax policy

  • Identify the principles of a current tax rule or proposal

  • Determine how the use of tax policy helps in objective discussion and analysis of reform proposals
