Practically, a tax is the most important instrument of fiscal policy and arguably, the most important aspect of public policy. For starters, tax influences the amount of money a government has to spend, as well as the amount the government needs to borrow in case of a difference between tax receipts and planned government expenditure (Pragyandeepa, 2015). The scarcity of resources, including the limits on the amount of taxes collected, influences the choices of spending by a government in the provision of services and public goods.

A loophole enables several victims to avoid the law. Therefore, a loophole is a form of refuge in audacity, which allows the victims to claim that they were following the rules and the truth is that they are guilty (Marshall 2005).

This can be attested in light of the fact that natural gas does not produce much green house gases (Congress, 2010). This paper is an article review of the article ‘Industrial Gas Drilling ...
