# Certainty in Taxation
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
The principle that the amount, time, and manner of tax payment should be
|
||||
clear and unambiguous to both the taxpayer and others, preventing arbitrary
|
||||
assessment and reducing opportunities for corruption.
|
||||
|
||||
## Source Chapter
|
||||
|
||||
Book V, Chapter 2
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
Smith identifies this as the second of his four maxims, arguing that
|
||||
certainty in taxation is crucial for preventing oppression and corruption,
|
||||
even if it means accepting some degree of inequality.
