Income Redistribution Effect of a Shift from Income Deduction to Tax Credit―Discrete Choice Model-Based Simulation Incorporating Labor Supply－(PDF:574KB) OGASA Tomoki, Visiting Scholar, PRI |
The Japanese tax authority has been reviewing the income deduction method as an option for income tax reform. As an option, a shift from income deduction to tax credit is cited. In this discussion paper, we simulated the income redistribution effect of the shift from income deduction to tax credit, based on a work-time-discrete choice model, incorporating labor supply, and discussed to what extent the said shift as a system may contribute to strengthening the income redistribution function. |
