The mission of TaxJazz™ materials and website is to provide people—whether individuals, teachers or community groups—with non-partisan and non-technical tax and tax policy information, so that everyone may better participate in an informed way in a rational debate about the future of America’s tax policy.
TaxJazz™ uses online and school/community-based programs to provide information and learning opportunities in four interrelated areas of taxation:
1. Function of taxation
This includes: understanding public goods, the problems of collective action and the connection between taxing and spending.
2. Fairness of taxation
This includes: how the choice of tax base and rate structure affect the distribution of the tax burden among taxpayers.
3. Basic concepts of taxation
This includes: the difference between marginal tax rates and effective tax rates, how governments spend money and carry out public policy through the tax system (tax expenditures, the difference between tax credits and tax deductions).
4. Specific tax provisions which apply to large numbers of people.
This includes provisions affecting health, education and welfare.
TaxJazz™ materials are appropriate for independent study or use by groups such as such as schools, employers, community organizations, journalists, etc.
