Best Answer

Under the current economic circumstances in the USA, that is, government spending remains far above tax receipts, the treasury issuing bonds which are purchased by the Federal Reserve using quantitative easing, taxes will effect the money supply in an inverse relationship. That is, for every tax dollar collected, a dollar is removed from the money supply. Taxes are therefore deflationary under the current circumstances.

In other times and circumstances, when government properly modulates its spending such that taxes and spending are closely related to each other, increase of taxes will result in an offsetting increase in spending. In this case, taxation is not deflationary or inflationary, and there is no net impact to the money supply.

Increasing the money supply involves which type of economic policy?

An economic policy of enhancing growth, especially in exports will increase the money supply. This can be measured from recent economic history. The last thing, or shall I say an increase in taxes will de-stimulate the growth of the money supply. Another negative would be to increase the money supply by fiat, or in other words "printing it"
