Who responds to changes in taxation? the relationship between taxation and incentive to work
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to identify psychological variables that affect people's responsiveness to tax changes and to determine if these variables could be used as predictors of tax-responsiveness measures. Workers were given questionnaires measuring demographic factors, work attitude and political preferences. It was found that tax-responsiveness is best predicted by overtime pay, physical conditions relating to work and attitudes toward leisure. Follow-up interviews on tax-responsive subjects revealed that fairness, existing commitments and steps to offset the effects of tax increases should also be considered.
