Abstract
The first report of the Shoup mission to Japan proposed a fundamental reform of the national taxation system centered on direct taxation. In addition, it offered a comprehensive plan for reforming local fiscal and administrative systems. This chapter will examine the Shoup mission’s role in the democratic fiscal reform in Japan, and pay particular attention to the impact of the mission on the political, institutional, and philosophical dimensions of postwar intergovernmental relations in Japan.
