excenciones fiscales complacientes

This seems to be about George Osborne's recent move in Britain to fund a "push for growth" with extraordinary fiscal revenues. The text seems to accuse him of political maneuvering, i.e., using the growth spurt that the measure might cause for relaxing tax pressure right ahead of polls.

agree Charles Davis : This is the sense of "feelgood": reduce people's taxes so they feel good and vote for you. I'd be inclined to use "reducciones" rather than "exenciones"; it's probably about cutting rates.

Buen punto Charles. Podría ser "recortes" también, as in "cutting rates" :)

donaciones que conllevan deducción/exoneración de impuestos

Entiendo que se refiere a las donaciones que hace el político para parecer generoso, aunque con ellas logra pagar menos impuestos.

rebajas impositivas para aumentar la sensación de bienestar

Once growth is well established (as per context), he will be able to afford this (if he is still in office)

Tal vez sea necesario aclarar que no tiene nada que ver con donaciones por parte del ministro, quien tiene el poder de reducir impuestos para ganar la simpatía del electorado en instancias previas a las elecciones.
