  1. Who among the following has suggested tax on expenditure?
    1. Dalton
    2. Kaldor
    3. Musgrave
    4. Gautam Mathur
Correct Option: B

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.
