Introduction:
Tax incentives are one of the most commonly used tools by governments to stimulate economic development. By offering tax breaks and other financial incentives to businesses, governments aim to attract investment, create jobs, and boost overall economic growth. However, the effectiveness of tax incentives in achieving these goals is a topic of much debate among economists and policymakers. This thesis aims to examine the effectiveness of tax incentives in promoting economic development, with a focus on their impact on investment, job creation, and overall economic growth.
