Small Business Taxation and Income Inequality: The View from Canada
The Canadian tax system features exceptionally low rates of corporate taxation for small businesses, together with a system of corporate-personal tax integration. While in principle the system delivers low tax rates on active business income while ensuring equity and neutrality, there are substantial opportunities for tax avoidance by high-income professionals. This paper discusses the role of recent tax and regulatory changes in encouraging incorporation by high-income professionals, as well as the implications for the measurement of income inequality using tax data.
期刊介绍:
The goal of the National Tax Journal (NTJ) is to encourage and disseminate high quality original research on governmental tax and expenditure policies. Articles published in the regular March, June and September issues of the journal, as well as articles accepted for publication in special issues of the journal, are subject to professional peer review and include economic, theoretical, and empirical analyses of tax and expenditure issues with an emphasis on policy implications. The NTJ has been published quarterly since 1948 under the auspices of the National Tax Association (NTA). Most issues include an NTJ Forum, which consists of invited papers by leading scholars that examine in depth a single current tax or expenditure policy issue. The December issue is devoted to publishing papers presented at the NTA’s annual Spring Symposium; the articles in the December issue generally are not subject to peer review.
