Analyzing tax reforms using the Swedish Labour Income Microsimulation Model
Labour income taxation is a central policy topic because labour income makes up the majority of national income and most taxes are in the end taxes on labour. In order to quantify how behavioural responses of labour income earners a ect tax revenue, the Swedish Labour Income Microsimulation Model (SLIMM) is constructed and used to evaluate tax reforms. The model simulates taxable income respons...
متن کاملSocially-Efficient Tax Reforms∗
We propose graphical methods to determine whether commodity-tax changes are “socially efficient”, in the sense of improving social welfare or decreasing poverty for large classes of social welfare and poverty indices. We also derive estimators of critical poverty lines and economic efficiency ratios which can be used to characterize socially-efficient tax reforms. The statistical properties of ...
متن کاملIncome Tax Buyouts and Income Tax Evasion
A tax buyout is a contract between tax authorities and a tax payer which reduces the marginal income tax rate in exchange for a lump-sum payment. While previous contributions have focussed on labour supply, we consider the interaction with tax evasion and show that a buyout can increase expected tax revenues. This will be the case if (1) the audit probability is constant and the penalty for eva...
متن کاملAnalysing the E¤ects of Tax-benet Reforms on Income Distribution: A Decomposition Approach
To assess the impact of tax-bene t policy changes on income distribution over time, we suggest a methodology based on counterfactual simulations. We start by decomposing changes in inequality/poverty indices into three contributions: reforms of the tax-bene t structure (rules, rates, etc.), changes in nominal levels of market incomes and tax-bene t parameters (bene t amounts, tax bands, etc.), ...
متن کاملEvaluating the Income Redistribution Effects of Tax Reforms in Discrete Hours Models*
Recent studies have examined tax policy issues using labour supply models characterised by a discretised budget set. Microsimulation modelling using a discrete hours approach is probabilistic. This makes analysis of the distribution of income difficult as even for a small sample with a modest range of labour supply points the range of possible labour supply combinations over the sample is extre...
