By efficiency, we mean government administrators should be able to collect taxes without spending too much time or money. By certainty, we mean it should be clear to the taxpayer when a tax is due, how much money is due, and how the tax should be paid. By equity, we mean the tax system should be fair; no one should bear too much or too little of the tax burden.
