Inequality reducing properties of composite taxation

Article Abstract:

The inequality of composite tax systems can be reduced by implementing progressive tax schedules with constant elasticity. Sample taxation schemes which considers discrete and continuous distributions indicate that replacing tax schedules with more progressive ones reduces unequal distribution of after tax incomes. The approach is in contrast with the conditional approach used by Lambert and Pfahler which focused on pre-tax distribution.
