Maksakahju

Maksakahju is a term without a widely accepted definition in Estonian law or economics. The word combines maks, meaning tax, with kahju, meaning damage or harm, giving a literal sense of “tax damage” or “tax harm.” In practice, the phrase appears only sporadically in informal discourse and is not a formal legal or economic category.

Usage and interpretation: When Maksakahju is used, it typically conveys a subjective sense of financial burden caused by tax policy, changes in rates, exemptions, or other fiscal measures. It is more often part of everyday language or political commentary than a precise technical term. Because it is informal, there is no standard method for measuring or comparing maksakahju across individuals or groups.

Context and relevance: The term may surface in media discussions, social media, or commentary where people express dissatisfaction with taxation or public finance decisions. As such, it functions as a rhetorical device rather than a defined statistical concept.
