The following is my answer to a Quora question: “Can a high tax
rate decrease inflation?”
Managing tax
rates is part of fiscal policy.
Increasing taxes curbs spending since the cost of consumption goes
up. This reduces demand for goods and
services. Reduction in demand leads to
an easing on inflation. Done properly, a
higher tax rate can decrease inflation.
