The f i nanc i ng funct i on of taxes rema i ns important , a I though taxes have oth er purposes today. Taxes are the ma i n source of revenue or i ncome for government and prov i de the ch i ef means of cover i ng current costs or expenditures.传统意义上，税收最初的作用是为政府供给公共物品与公共服务提供资金。虽 然税收目前的用途更为广泛，但是资金筹措职能的重要性丝毫不减。税收是政府收 入（译者注：从各种来源的政府收入拨给支付公共支出的费用）和收益（译者注： 用一段时间的劳力或服务而换得的金钱收益或同等收益）的主要来源，并且提供了 偿付政府日常开支和支出的重要手段。The major i ssue i s the i r effect on es d i vert resources y be a source ofi nvoIv i ng the financing funct i on of taxes the efficient use of scarce resources.

Thus ,the pr imary concern of the government i s to d i vert resources i n a manner that does not i interfere, or i interfere the I ea st, with the a I Iocat ion of resources i n the pr i vate sector o If resources are not efficiently a I Iocated i n the pr i vate sect or , taxes can be purpose Iy used to have nonneutraI effects; that i s ,taxes can be used to change the a I Iocat i on of re sources.在资金筹集职能上，通过税收将资源转移出私人部门存在一个前提假设：即资 源在私人部门能够得到有效利用。因此，政府对于资源在私人部门分配最基本的态 度是不干预或最低限度的干预。（因此,政府首要考虑的是如何以一种对私人部门资 源配置不干预或最小干预的方式来转移资源。）如果资源未能在私人部门得到有效 配置，税收将有目的地被用于产生具倾向性的影响,换言之，税收可用于调整资源配 置。The red i stri but i on funct i onoftaxes税收的再分配职能The red i stri but i on funct i onoftaxesra i ses the quest i onof the appropr i at i on way of d i str i but i ng taxes among taxp ayers.

Tax incidence s tudies try to f ind out who reaI Iy pays taxeso税收的再分配职能引发了一个问题，即在纳税人之间分摊再分配税的方式. 确定税种和税率的方式是：改变收入群体的（收入）特征，使其彼此相互接近.（税收再分配职能引发的问题是如何在纳税人之间合理地分配税收。税种和税 率的选择方式可以改变多收入组别之间的分配状态，使之变为其他状态。）例 如，累进制所得税率对收入的高端部分征收比低端部分更高的百分比。累进制 所得税率以低收入群体而非高收入群体的税后收入作为参考标准.然而，这种 影响作用部分或全部被减税、贷款等高收入群体用以最小化税务支出的手段抵 消。（然而，这种效应会部分或全部地被税收减免、抵扣，以及类似手段抵消 掉，高收入群体可以利用这些手段使其税收支付最小化。）税负研究试图查明 纳税的真正施解I i zat ionfunct ionoftaxes税收的稳定职能The stab i I i zat i onfunct i onoftaxesv i ews taxes asa var i abIe that can be altered to di rect the economy toward economic stab i I ity; that i s fuI I empIoyment and a stab Ie pr i ce I eve Io An i ncrease i n taxes norma I Iy reduces pr i vate consumpt i on a nd sav i ng, therefore reduc i ng pr i vate spend i ngo A decrease i ntaxes increase pr ivate consumption and saving, and therefore has the opposite effect on pr i vate spending.

Dur i ng per i ods of economi c expans i on , tax colie ct i ons tend to automat i caI Iy r i se because of the growth i n ta x bases such as saIes and i ncome. Th i s automat i c growth i n t axes tends to sIow down the expans i on. Dur i ng per iods of econ omi c contract i on , tax co I Iect i ons tend to sIow down the dec Ii ne in economic activity. Therefore , even if tax rates are no t changed dur i ng the ups and downs i n the economy, tax co I Ie ctions automaticaI Iy change in a way that tends to stabi I ize the economy. Th i s automat i c countercycIi caI behav i or i n tax co I Iect ions has made an important contr ibut ion to economic stab i Ii ty i n the past。税收系统还具有为经济提供稳定性的功能。在经济扩张时期，征税会自然增长, 这种税收的自然增长基于销售和收入.由此，税收的自然增长趋势会放缓经济的扩 张.与此相对应，在经济收缩时期，征税可以缓解经济活动的衰退.因而，即使税率 在经济波动周期中不作调整，征税依旧可以自动发挥稳定经济的作用。征税的反经济周期行为一直以来为稳定经济作着贡献。taxes 关于税收的哲学视角 concern i ng the re I at i onsh i p taxpayer.

In t i onsh i p, taxes are pr i ces e , the marginaI vaIuation goods and services; on thevoIuntary payments ; that i s , by taxpayers for goods and ser th i s “voluntary exchange” re I a that ref Iect, on the demand sid that taxpayers have for pub Iic suppIy side, they ref Iect theeconomic cost of producing goods and serv i ces.税收被视为自愿性支付，即由纳税人为其所需公共产品和公共服务自愿支 付的金额。在这种“自愿交换”关系中，税收是价格的反映。对于需求方而言， 税收是纳税人对公共产品和公共服务的边际评价；对于供给方而言，税收是公 共产品和公共服务的经济成本.The voIuntary payment view of taxes stresses a qu i d pr o quo relationship between the government and the taxpayer; name Iy ,taxpayers give up someth i ng i n the form of taxes i n order to get i n return what they are willing to pa y for government goods and services o The voIuntary payment v i ew of taxes presupposes that taxpayers'preference aretransmitted through the ba I lot box to the representat i ve of taxpayers , just as consumers' preference are transmitte d through pr ices to producerso税收自愿支付论强调政府和纳税人之间的等价交换关系，即纳税人以纳税 的形式放弃部分权利，获得期望的回报。税收自愿支付论假设纳税人的偏好是 通过“投票箱”传递给纳税人代表的，正如消费者的偏好是通过价格传递给生 产者的T:赫cs as invoI untary payments作为非自愿性支付的税收A contrast i ng v i ew perce i ves taxes as i nvoIuntary paymentso Thi s v i ewstresses thepointthat taxpayershaveno choicebut to paythe i r taxes.Thus,it i s arguedthatthe re I at i o nsh i p between the government and taxpayers i s not ana Iogous to the voIuntary re I at i onsh i p between seI Iers and buyers i n the pr i vate economy.另一种对立观点认为税收是非自愿性支付。该观点强调纳税人在是否纳税上无 可选择。因此，政府和纳税人之间的关系与私人经济中买卖双方间的自愿关系不具 有相似性。Both of these v i ews can be benef i c i a I i n helping to under stand taxes and the re I at i onsh i p between taxpayers and governme nt. Buyers in the economy , as compared to taxpayers, are gen era I Iy freer to "buy” or not to buy. Once decisions are ma de concerning government expenditures , individuaI taxpayers do no have the choice to pay or not to pay taxes. However, the re I at i onsh i p between the government and taxpayers i n a democr atic society is not totaI Iy coercive o If the democratic decis ion-making process i s working correct Iy,taxpayers as a groupare not gett i ng what they want, they can choose to eIect n ew representatives o It shouId be acknowledged, however, that i ndividua I wants are better fuIf i I led i n the pr i vate economy th an they are i n the pub I i c sector. The efficiency of both dep ends upon how we I I they prov i de the goods and serv i ces demand ed by the pub Ii co上述两种观点都有助于理解税收以及纳税人和政府的关系。经济领域的购买者 被当作纳税人的参照，市场中的买主通常可以自由地选择购买与否.一旦决策与政 府支出相关，作为个体的纳税人是无法选择纳税与否的。但是，民主社会中的政府 与纳税人关系并非绝对强制。民主决策程序的合理运用使作为群体的纳税人能够在 不满现状的情况下选举新的（利益）代表。然而，不可否认，个体偏好在私人经济 领域能够得到比在公共部门更好的满足。市场（私人部门）和政府（公
