Public Finance & Tax Policy
What will be the effect of proposed changes in tax rates and tax structure?
- On business investment?
- On consumer spending?
- On government revenue?
- On the state's business climate?
These are questions PDI has examined for legislative committees, industry trade associations and state and local government agencies. We stay abreast of changes in tax policy at both the state and national level and bring years of analytic experience to the examination of the most complex issues of public finance.
