The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) is an independent[1][2][3] economic research institute based in London, United Kingdom, which specialises in UK taxation and public policy.[4] It produces both academic and policy-related findings.[5]

The institute's stated aim is "to provide top quality economic analysis independent of government, political party or any other vested interest. Our goal is to promote effective economic and social policies by understanding better their impact on individuals, families, businesses and the government's finances."[6]

Its offices are in the Bloomsbury area of Central London close to the British Museum and University College London.
