If there are lags in tax collection, an increase in inflation erodes real fiscal revenue, thereby worsening the current balance while reducing government investment. This impedes capital accumulation as well as increases the. A government that chooses the option of inflationary finance to generate additional investment must take into account the possible effect of real fiscal revenue erosion on the budget deficit.

In general, the use of inflationary finance can threaten the objectives of growth with efficiency and price stability. When there are collection lags in the tax system, inflation reduces the real revenues.

This is often offered as an argument for less reliance on the inflation tax. But the optimal rates of other taxes should also be reconsidered in the light of collection lags. When this is done, the focus shifts from the revenues (which can be recouped by changing the rates of these taxes), to the associated.

Revenue from Inflationary Finance. As indicated above, the revenue from inflationary finance is equivalent to the product of the inflation rate π t and the real cash balances (M/P).Given the real balances, an increase in π t generated by the money created to finance a deficit would be accompanied by higher inflationary finance revenue.

And, alternatively, given the inflationary. using inflationary finance and commodity taxation when there are collection lags (Dixit, ), in which - challenging Tanzi’s () argument that inflationary finance may further weaken the public finances in the case that both high inflation and collection lags erode the real value of fiscal revenue.

In the case of Turkey inwe find that government appropriated significant revenue due to bracket-creep, in addition to the revenue from inflationary finance.

When tax payments take place with a considerable time lag, inflation erodes part of their real value, and this loss may be comparable or even surpass the well-known gains from seigniorage.

The paper finds that for the economy of Greece, a reduction of inflation will actually raise the total sum of tax collection and seigniorage, thus easing and not aggravating the debt-accumulation process.

The literature dealing with the impact of inflation on tax revenue has assumed that two conditions hold, namely, that (1) taxes are paid as they accrue, and that (2) tax systems are generally elastic.

When these two assumptions are valid, inflation is likely to lead to increases in real tax revenue. On the other hand, when the assumptions do not hold--that is. In Argentina, Brazil and Chile, procuring an additional 1 % of GNP through inflation, requires in the long run, inflationary taxation of approximately %, % and % of GNP, respectively.

Before deciding to finance a fiscal deficit with inflation tax, officials should consider the interaction between regular tax collection and inflation tax. In economics and political science, fiscal policy is the use of government revenue collection (taxes or tax cuts) and expenditure (spending) to influence a country's economy.

The use of government revenues and expenditures to influence macroeconomic variables developed as a result of the Great Depression, when the previous laissez-faire approach to economic management became unpopular. This implies a maximum `gross' inflation tax revenue (i.e.

before subtracting losses through the fiscal-lag effect) of % of GDP, at an inflation rate near 25% pr month. Moreover, we shall assume a `tax capacity' (ho+hl) of 20% of GDP, with ht=, that is, a little more than half of the tax base is subject to a one-month collection lag.
