Optimal Dual Income Taxation
There is a strong case for arguing that, in contradiction to some traditional arguments in public economics, capital income should be taxed, though not necessarily under the same rate schedule as labour earnings. The Dual Income Taxation (DIT) system consists of two parallel piecewise linear tax schedules, in which that for capital income has a zero lower bracket rate and an upper bracket rate ...
متن کاملOptimal Capital Income Taxation∗
In an economy with identical infinitely-lived households that obtain utility from leisure as well as consumption, Chamley (1986) and Judd (1985) have shown that the optimal tax system to pay for an exogenous stream of government purchases involves a zero tax rate on capital in the long run, with tax revenue collected by a distortionary tax on labor income. Extending the results of Hall and Jorg...

This handbook chapter reviews recent developments in the theory of optimal labor income taxation. We emphasize connections between theory and empirical work that were initially lacking from optimal income tax theory. First, we provide historical and international background on labor income taxation and means-tested transfers. Second, we present the simple model of optimal linear taxation. Third...

This paper analyzes optimal joint income taxation of two-earner couples.

In contrast to the previous literature, we consider fully general joint income tax systems. The optimum tax system is separable into two individual and independent tax schedules only if skills, ...

ing from correlation in spouse characteristics (assortative matching) allows us to isolate the implications for the optimal tax system of the interaction between spouses occurring through the social welfare function. In Section 4, we examine numerically how assortative matching affects our results. To establish an intuition on the optimal form of jointness, it is helpful to start by considering...
