Answer» B. Kaldor | |
Explanation: Nicholas Kaldor's seminal' work, titled 'An Expenditure Tax,' was brought out in 1955. Kaldor asked to levy a tax on a person's expenditure (consumption), instead of on his income. When expenditure is made the basis of taxation, the problems created by the non- comparability of various types of accruals of wealth resolve themselves. This was his major argument in favour of an expenditure tax. |
