The state molds an economic policy, setting the tone for development and determining strategic and tactical measures to achieve a goal pursued. Thus, tax policy and its practical implementation -the tax system -have a clear desire to solve certain problems. Another impact they have on economic growth is related to a social dimension of taxes as a source of financing public goods. Since the market cannot provide a supply of public goods, or can but at higher costs than the state, empowering it to provide these benefits is viewed as a factor that contributes to a more efficient use of limited resources. Nevertheless, by directing tax revenues to produce public goods, the state is likely to augment distortions caused by taxation, those resulting from its unwarranted interference in the production and distribution of private goods or excessive state participation in the production and supply of mixed (quasi-public) goods. The deformations caused by irrational uses of tax revenues may result in a budget deficit, and in the next fiscal year, the level of taxation will exceed the critical limit (marginal rate), with inevitable negative implications for the economy. As long as taxation does not spill over the marginal norm, it is difficult to make the connection with economic upturn. This is one of the reasons why numerous empirical studies have not yet provided enough evidence of this connection. Thus, any level of taxes that does not exceed the marginal limit, provided they are used effectively and efficiently, can facilitate economic upturn.
