This paper estimates the dynamic effects of changes in taxes in the United States. We distinguish between changes in personal and corporate income taxes and develop a new narrative account of federal ...tax liability changes in these two tax components. We develop an estimator which uses narratively identified tax changes as proxies for structural tax shocks and apply it to quarterly post-WWII data. We find that short run output effects of tax shocks are large and that it is important to distinguish between different types of taxes when considering their impact on the labor market and on expenditure components.
Personal income tax is a tax imposed on personal tax subjects on income received or earned in one tax year and has been regulated in Law no. 36 of 2008 concerning Income Tax.

This study aims to obtain results on the legal consequences of separation of assets in tax calculations and the principle of fairness for tax calculations in accordance with the provisions of the ...Director General of Taxes. The research method used is normative juridical by using testing techniques through a statutory approach as well as applicable legal theories, concepts and principles compared to the implementation in the field, especially about the method of calculating the separation of assets in accordance with the regulations of the Director General of Taxes and the calculation should be if in accordance with the marriage agreement for the separation of property. The research provides results if using the calculation method in accordance with tax regulations, the couple is still owed tax and / or greater even though each of them has been deducted from income tax and should be nil. And the principle of legal justice that should be obtained by the taxpayer of separation of property on the mechanism for determining taxable income by tax regulations is not to occur because with the deed of marriage agreement for separation of property made before a Notary which is an authentic deed, it should be from the beginning that from the beginning everything is separate including with his property, but for taxes it is not recognized the deed because the income is combined first.
Despite the importance of the personal income tax around the world, little is known about its impact on innovation. We construct a large database of inventors who patented at publicly listed ...companies during the 2008–2016 period and exploit the revised Personal Income Tax (PIT) Law of 2011 in China as a quasi-natural experiment to establish the causal effect of the personal income tax on corporate innovation. Using a difference-in-differences identification strategy, we show that a lower personal income tax rate has a significantly positive impact on patent quantity and quality. Further, the revised PIT Law raises the efficiency of R&D activities, induces more explorative innovation, and improves the success rate of patent applications, providing consistent evidence for the intentional effort channel. Moreover, this positive innovation effect is more pronounced in firms with an R&D team that is more sensitive to the salary incentive system, greater innovation dependence, better governance, and firms located in regions with better innovation environments. Taken together, our findings shed light on how inventors and firms respond to decreasing personal income tax rates and confirm that the net return to innovation can be vital to the innovation capacity of firms.
Abstract
I estimate the average federal individual income tax rate paid by America’s 400 wealthiest families, using a relatively comprehensive estimate of their Haig–Simons income: their change in ...wealth, plus US individual taxes. I do so using publicly available statistics from the IRS Statistics of Income Division, the Survey of Consumer Finances, and Forbes magazine from 1992 to 2020. This paper’s baseline analysis uses all years of data and systematically varies start and end years. The baseline estimates of the average federal individual income tax rate on the wealthiest 400 families are 9.6 per cent in nominal terms and 12.0 per cent in real (inflation-adjusted) terms. Sensitivity analyses yield nominal estimates in the 6.7–14.6 per cent range and real estimates in the 8.4–17.9 per cent range. These estimates can be combined with effective corporate income tax rates to estimate all-in effective income tax rates on the wealthiest.

In this paper I discuss what can be learned about ‘trickle-down’ ideas from recent empirical evidence on tax incidence, or the effect of tax policies on the distribution of welfare. I underscore ...three lessons. First, recent research suggests that business income taxes affect the earnings of workers, but these effects largely derive from taxing rents and rent-sharing, highlighting the importance of these channels for determining the ultimate incidence. Second, when workers are affected by these taxes, the burden is not borne equally by all workers, but predominantly by those at the top of the earnings distribution. Third, across different tax policies that statutorily affect the rich, the burden is largely borne by the rich, but heterogeneity in responses across tax incentives and taxpayers provides context for incidence analyses. Throughout, I discuss the value of analysing heterogeneous responses, particularly how tax incidence depends on labour markets, product markets, and tax systems.
Economic activity based on producing goods and services is essential for the development of any society. Individuals can carry out this economic activity in dependent activities (employment) or ...entrepreneurship (self-employment). A third way is the so-called „Švarc-system,” which is not legal in the Czech Republic. It is a situation where persons performing normal activities for the entrepreneur in a dependent relationship are not his employees but formally act as self-employment. There are currently discussions about the legalization of the system among politicians and experts. This article introduces how labor and tax law regulations influence attitudes toward economic activity and development. The research methods to achieve this aim include description, critical analysis, and synthesis. The findings described in this article are that the Švarc-system based on self-employment allows greater freedom for employers and employees and smaller payments to public budgets than forms of dependent activities. A high level of autonomy increases development in various areas and helps social development. The implication falls into practical rather than theoretical fields. Therefore, regulation in this area should be lowered to support further development. This article’s originality is that it reflects on the academic impacts of the legalization of the system from legal and economic points of view. These conclusions should help reflect on the regulation of legislation in this field.
The easing of tax legislation after the outbreak of war was aimed at supporting business and ensuring the functioning of the economy. However, its impact on local budget revenues was ambiguous. Some ...changes to the tax legislation during martial law had a negative impact on local budget revenues, while others had the opposite effect. The purpose of the article is to identify the impact of tax policy on the formation of local budget revenues during the wartime and to assess the prospects for filling local budgets with tax revenues in the short term. The publication characterizes the tax changes introduced after the outbreak of war in terms of taxes that have a direct impact on the formation of local budget revenues – personal income tax, single tax, land payment, tax on real estate other than land, excise tax on fuel, alcohol and tobacco products. The authors analyze the tendency in changes in tax revenues of local budgets by region. It is found that the introduced tax changes have had a negative impact on local budget revenues from property tax (land payment, tax on real estate other than land, transport tax) and from excise tax on fuel. At the same time, the growth of tax revenues from personal income tax, single tax, and excise tax on alcohol and tobacco products in total ensured a 13.5% increase in local budget revenues compared to the previous pre-war year. However, against the background of the overall growth of local budget revenues, there was a decline in tax revenues in the regions, some parts of which remain under russian military occupation (Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Kherson, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions). The authors critically assess and substantiate the prospects for filling local budgets with tax revenues in the short term. In the near future, we can expect an increase in tax revenues of local budgets, given the possible abolition of «tax relaxations» against the background of the successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which positively affect the business expectations of enterprises and intensification of their business activities.
