摘要:This paper takes a close look at the advantages and disadvantages of the flat tax and looks at its proven
benefits and failings in some European countries which adopted it and its theoretical or possible effects on
the economies of other European countries which refuse the idea of a single tax rate for all types of
revenues. Although there is a basic format of the flat tax, there are multiple flat tax proposals that have
been adopted in different central and Eastern European countries. The Western Europe feels differently.
With heavy budget obligations, these countries reject flat taxes because they say their countries wouldn't
be able to afford a cut in their tax revenues. But in the same time they are struggling to compete with the
growing reliance on flat taxes of the East.
