Vergi, ekonomik birimlerden siyasi cebir altında ve karşılıksız olarak devlete kaynak aktarılmasıdır. Kamu hizmeti yapmak durumunda olan devlet, bunu yaparken mal ve hizmet üretiminde bulunur. Gerekli üretim faktörlerini sağlarken kamu fonlarını kullanır. Bu fonlar içerisinde vergi gelirlerinin oranı yüksektir. Sanayileşmiş toplumlarda %100'e ulaşmaktadır. Devlet, belirtilen temel amaç dışında kamu faaliyetlerine paralel diğer bazı fonksiyonları da vergilere yükleyebilir. Bu arada gelir dağılımının kontrolü, piyasada fiyat istikrarının sağlanması gibi fonksiyonlar da kısmen vergiye yüklenebilir.
