This is a politically charged subject, so this is highly debatable. But, I will tell you it is generally more helpful to cut taxes in a recession and raise taxes in an inflationary period.

The reason you want to cut taxes in a recession(or just stick with an expansionary fiscal policy) is to increase Aggregate Demand is gain a state of growth.

You would want to raise taxes in an inflationary period(or just have a contradictory fiscal policy) is to decrease inflation which is probably caused by too much demand. China is a great example!
