Tax Glossary Definition

Austerity

Austerity – A set of stringent economic measures implemented by a government to reduce fiscal deficits and stabilize public finances, typically by cutting public expenditure and increasing taxation. Although these policies aim to restore financial balance, they may temporarily hinder economic growth and employment.

Example: To manage escalating national debt, a government reduces public sector wages and withdraws certain subsidies.
