1. Tax - tax regimes.

In establishing a national or other tax regime, the principle of neutrality means that taxes should neither encourage nor discourage personal or business decisions.

"The purpose of taxes is to raise needed revenue, not to favor or punish specific industries, activities, and products. Minimizing tax preferences broadens the tax base, so that the government can raise sufficient revenue with lower rates."

(The Tax Foundation)


2. Tax - tax regimes - changes in rates or rules.

Changes in taxation are said to be tax neutral when the neither increase, nor decrease, the tax burden on particular groups of taxpayers, or on taxpayers overall.
