“…A different strand of research examines tax expenditures in the context of measuring the progressivity of the various components of income taxation in a comparative cross-national setting (Verbist, 2004;Wagstaff et al, 1999;Wagstaff and van Doorslaer, 2001). It finds that, while significant cross-national variation exists, tax credits and lump sum allowances are generally progressive whereas tax deductions are mostly regressive.…”

“…Given its progressive nature, the PIT is a globally fundamental tool through which the redistributive effect of the whole tax system of a country is achieved, even if a large variability, in terms of both tax revenue and redistributive effect, is observed around the world (Verbist and Figari, 2014;Wagstaff et al, 1999). The two key reasons for this variability deal with the role played by social preferences for redistribution (Lefranc, Pistolesi and Trannoy, 2008) and the equity-efficiency trade-off of taxation (Tuomala, 2016;Saez, 2001;Feldstein, 1976;Sandmo, 1981;Stern, 1976).…”

Wnioski te są zgodne z wynikami Alonso i Garcimartína (2011), którzy wskazali, że jednym z czynników oddziałujących na poziom dochodów podatkowych jest poziom nierówności dochodów, przy czym wpływ ten jest ujemny.…”
