"Fiscal policy plays a
critical role in ensuring macrofinancial stability and can thus help avert/minimize crises that
disproportionately hurt the disadvantaged population. At the same time, fiscal redistribution, carried
out in a manner that is consistent with other macroeconomic objectives, can help raise the income
share of the poor and middle class, and thus support growth. Fiscal policy already plays a significant
role in addressing income inequality in many advanced economies, but the redistributive role of
fiscal policy could be reinforced by greater reliance on wealth and property taxes, more progressive
income taxation, removing opportunities for tax avoidance and evasion, better targeting of social
benefits while also minimizing efficiency costs, in terms of incentives to work and save (IMF 2014a).
In addition, reducing tax expenditures that benefit high-income groups most and removing tax
relief—such as reduced taxation of capital gains, stock options, and carried interest—would increase
equity and allow a growth-enhancing cut in marginal labor income tax rates in some countries. In
EMDCs, better access to education and health services, well-targeted conditional cash transfers and
more efficient safety nets can have a positive impact on disposable incomes of the poor (Bastagli,
Coady and Gupta 2012). In many cases, this increasing public spending would need to be
undertaken in tandem with rising revenue mobilization, reduced tax loopholes, and tax evasion, and
lower less- well-targeted spending (such as oil subsidies)."
