Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

Tax is the amount of money that's paid by an individual or firm to the government. Subsidies are the funds or other forms of assistance that's given by the government to firms in order to help them increase their production and lower the prices of goods.

Fir example, if the government wants to decrease consumption in the economy, the government can increase tax. On the other hand, the government can increase consumption by reducing tax as people will have money to spend and also more money for production purpose.
