A branch of financial law that studies and regulates taxes and their related obligations . In this way, it is in charge of regulating the relationship that arises between the administration and the taxpayer and thus originates the tax. Remember that it is also called tax law.
the tribute
To define the term tax more precisely, it should be noted that there are three varieties of it: tax , contribution and fee. Thus, the tribute is still a generic term to refer to any of these three meanings, but they have their own differentiated characteristics.
Thus, following the definition given by the legal doctrine, the tax is a tax that does not generate direct compensation from the State to the taxpayer (for example, the tax on the income of individuals). Meanwhile, the contribution generates a series of benefits, in this case, in the form of state activities and public works (for example, the contribution to garbage collection). And finally, the fee is also a type of tax whose obligation generates a series of benefits for the taxpayer, but in this case, unlike the contribution, the provision is individualized as with the payment of mandatory university fees to study a profession.
