Fiscal Policy:
A fiscal policy is when the government will change taxation and/or own spending in order to change the level of
economic activity. There are two types:
1. Expansionary fiscal policy - tax is cut or increased spending on services i.e. health, education, transport,
defence etc. Total spending from the govt. will rise benefiting businesses and the economy.
2. A contractionary fiscal policy is when expenditure is reduced or tax is raised. This reduces spending in the
economy in order to cool it down.
Tax + expenditure - immediate effect activity but extent depends on type of tax + nature of govt. spending.
Direct Tax = income tax, corporation tax - implications for businesses depend on product type e.g. luxury goods
- significant effect.
Indirect Tax - VAT, increase = reduced consumer spending extent fall will depend on the price elasticity of
product. Side effect of rise = inflationary.
