Redistribution through tax evasion

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Using a simple model of income redistribution, we show that the government may use tax evasion as a way to redistribute income from the non- evaders to evaders. This will result then to a negative association between income inequality and per capita transfers and inefficiently high taxes.
