Abstract

Optimal taxation is a fundamental policy and strategy for countries to promote economic growth and job creation as efficient, transparent, and fair tax systems support business expansion, encourage formalization, and generate revenue for public investment. In this context, this study seeks to use machine learning techniques to analyse the implications of the tax system, inflation, aggregate production, and minimum wage as relevant macroeconomic variables within a model of the government's idiosyncratic preferences while considering the social welfare implications and relationships with others.
