In recent years, sustainable development has become a topic of major interest, aiming not only at economic growth, but also at enhancing social welfare and protecting the environment. The aim of this research is to analyse the role of taxation in promoting sustainable development and to assess how taxes affect the economy, the environment and society. The study is based on data collected from 163 national economies and uses statistical methods to examine the impact of the tax burden on sustainable development in national economies. The results show that tax dynamics significantly influence economic growth, the sustainability of national economies and social welfare. Furthermore, the article highlights the importance of tax policy in achieving sustainable development goals and suggests adopting a balanced approach to taxation that takes into account economic, social and environmental aspects. This research contributes to expanding knowledge in the field of sustainable development of national economies, providing a new perspective on the relationship between sustainable development and the tax burden.
