Abstract:
This paper presents the current model for taxation and distribution of the taxes to government activities, and an alternative model is presented, according to which tax-payers can determine, to some extent, the way that the taxes they pay will be spent. The goal of this proposal is to increase citizen involvement and system transparency. The model proposal comes complete with an architecture that supports the realization of the proposed scheme.
