what tax is most closely refelcts the benefit-received theory of taxation?

Question

taxes

Answer 1

Not sure, but I would guess a sales tax or value added tax.

Answer 2

No tax can do that since taxes are by their nature conscription of resources. Only a "fee for service" can reflect the benefit received theroy. The closest you can come otherwise would be an excise tax on the shipment of goods.

Answer 3

Perhaps a 'head tax'? Can you show that any individual receives more benefits from government that another? If they do, is that fair regardless of the tax structure?
