Taxable capacity refers to the maximum amount of taxes that can be collected from citizens without negatively impacting production. It is defined as the maximum ability of a community to contribute through taxation. Taxable capacity is assessed in both absolute and relative terms. Absolute taxable capacity is the maximum amount that can be collected without causing unpleasant effects, while relative compares capacities between communities. Understanding taxable capacity is significant for governments seeking to mobilize revenue sources and assess how much taxation citizens can bear.
