Details

  • Inspired by the landmark 1978 Meade Report, the Mirrlees Review revisits tax design 30 years on
  • Contains original research from a number of high profile experts in the field
  • Provides a wide range of views on a number of topics related to tax design and reform

The goal of the Mirrlees Review has been to identify what makes a good tax system for an open developed economy in the 21st century and to suggest how the UK tax system could be reformed to move in that direction. As an integral part of the Review, this volume brings together thirteen studies of different dimensions of tax design, plus associated commentaries. These were commissioned from IFS researchers and other international experts, to be of interest and value in their own right, as well as to provide inspiration for the final report of the Review, which is published as a separate volume, Tax by Design.

The Commission's work was directed by:
Tim Besley
Richard Blundell
Malcolm Gammie
James Poterba

The Commission's editorial team:
Stuart Adam
Stephen Bond
Robert Chote
Paul Johnson
Gareth Myles
