This brief looks at the possibility of reconsidering oil taxes, not as an unwelcome burden, but as an alternative to something worse. It investigates the potential consequence of substituting taxes on oil consumption for either higher non-oil taxes or reduced government spending, both as part of a larger deficit reduction package. If done right, argue the authors, improved economic performance while reducing oil consumption can be achieved.
