题目：Personal Income Tax Reforms and Effective Tax Functions in China

简介：We use household-level data to estimate the effective income tax function for China, i.e. a nonlinear relationship between household income and effective income tax rates. The estimated effective tax functions for years 1999-2009 are used to quantitatively investigate the effects of Chinese personal income tax reforms. We find that the tax policy changes have reduced average tax rates by lifting the tax exemption level or adjusting tax brackets. Moreover, the tax reforms have decreased the aggregate indexes of progressivity. However, vari- ations in local progressivity measures indicate that tax reforms have reduced the redistribution effect between low and medium income households while en- hanced the equalizing effect between medium and high income households. In addition, the PIT policy changes have lowered the average marginal tax rates and horizontal equity. Finally, the fiscal revenue elasticity exhibited a declining trend, while the tax reforms have driven up the elasticity or slowed down the trend.
