Description
Summary:The insufficient economic opportunities in the first years of the Republic and the crisis environment created by the 1929 World Depression affected the tax policy of the young state. Compensation for the effects of the current conditions was only possible by levying many new taxes or expanding the scope of existing taxes. The subject of this study is to examine the effects of the basic taxes on the economic sectors in the period from the beginning of the Turkish Republic to the mid-1930s. The development target, which was emphasized with the concept of “economic struggle”, was shaped by the influence of two contrary factors. While taxes were required to finance development, the negative impact of taxes was an obstacle to achieving this goal. It is hoped that this study, which is mostly based on periodicals and parliamentary minutes of the period, will contribute to the literature.
