最近的几项研究表明,由于税基转移等因素,应纳税收入弹性(ETI)并不足以统计税收的福利成本。本文提供了一个额外的论据,证明了ETI的不足,即税收减免。建立在一个理论框架,其中包括扣除标准的最优税收模型,我们表明,ETI是不足以福利分析,如果(i)扣除产生外部性,如果(ii)扣除是响应于税率的变化。虽然第一个条件可以说是适用于大多数税收减免,我们提供了第二个条件的实证检验。依靠丰富的德国面板数据,从行政税收记录,我们利用几个税收改革,在德国之间实施的2001年和2008年。我们的主要估计表明,总体ETI在0.54至0.68之间,扣除额相对于净税率的弹性约为-0.9。这些结果表明,ETI不足以计算税收的福利成本。
Several recent studies show that the elasticity of taxable income (ETI) is not a sufficient statistic for the welfare costs of taxation due to factors such as tax-base shifting. This paper provides an additional argument demonstrating the non-sufficiency of the ETI, namely tax deductions. Building on a theoretical framework which incorporates deductions in a standard optimal-tax model, we show that the ETI is not sufficient for welfare analysis if (i) deductions generate externalities and if (ii) deductions are responsive to tax-rate changes. While the first condition should arguably hold true for the majority of tax deductions, we provide an empirical examination of the second condition. Relying on rich German panel data from administrative tax records, we exploit several tax reforms that were implemented in Germany between 2001 and 2008. Our main estimates indicate an overall ETI between 0.54 and 0.68 and an elasticity of deductions with respect to the net-of-tax rate of about − 0.9. These results suggest that the ETI isnotsufficient to calculate the welfare cost of taxation.
