Özet:

The economic size of the state and the influence of taxes, which is the factor that determines the proportion of this size,  has always been a matter of debate. Tax refers to the share of private and legal entities transferred to the state from their income and wealth. The size of the tax burden is a significant cost element in terms of those who carry out economic activities. The tax burden is in this sense a surplus as a cost element that has an impact on economic growth. In the 1965-2015 period, the relationship between tax burden and economic growth in the Turkish economy was examined and the VECM (vector error correction model) analysis was used. Positive changes in the tax burden affect economic growth negatively, and statistically significant results are achieved. This result is meaningless in terms of the Turkish economy, although domestic savings are affecting the positive growth in a slight increase.
