This qualitative synthesis investigates the role of taxation in post-pandemic economic recovery, aiming to provide insights into effective policy strategies. Drawing upon a systematic review of qualitative literature from diverse disciplines such as economics, public policy, and taxation theory, the study explores the multifaceted nature of taxation's impact on recovery trajectories. Methodologically, the research employs thematic analysis to identify key themes and patterns emerging from the literature.
