Optimal top marginal tax rates under income splitting for couples
This paper provides formulas for optimal top marginal tax rates when couples are taxed according to income splitting between spouses, consumption is taxed, and the skill distribution is unbounded. Optimal top marginal income tax rates are computed for Germany using a dataset that includes the tax returns of all German top taxpayers. We find that the optimal top marginal tax rate converges to ab...
متن کاملThe Effect of the TopMarginal Tax Rate on Top Income Inequality
Top income inequality, defined as the income gap within the top 1% income group, has been rising in the United States since the 1980s. Coinciding with this rise, the large reductions in the topmarginal tax rate exhibit a strong correlation with the increase in both top income inequality and top income shares. This paper identifies endogenous human capital accumulation as the link between change...
متن کاملThe Optimal Income Tax: Restatement and Extensions
The paper presents an axiomatic restatement of the standard approach to nonlinear income taxation. It assumes a finite number of taxpayers rather than an uncountable infinity. Analytical tools are developed which facilitate proving the existence of tax schedules that are continuous, differentiable almost everywhere and possess leftand right-derivatives at every point of non-differentiability. T...
متن کاملOptimal observability in a linear income tax
We study the optimal observability of the tax base within the standard linear income tax problem, where observability is determined by the government’s investment into the accurate measurement of the tax base. We characterize the optimal level of observability and derive a new expression for the optimal progressivity, which – in addition to the standard equity efficiency trade-off – accounts fo...
متن کاملThe Jointly Optimal Inflation Tax, Income Tax Structure, and Transfers
The welfare-maximizing income tax structure, rate of money creation, and amounts of intergenerational transfers are jointly determined for given rates of government consumption. When government consumption is zero, it is found for the parameter values examined that the income tax structure is progressive, the rate of money change is negative, and positive transfers are made to the old. As gover...
