Abstract: Optimality of fiscal policy is an issue widely debated in the literature from multiple perspectives. One way to address this problem is with the Laffer curve, causing the correlation between tax burden and tax revenue. This paper addresses the correlation with Laffer curve for income tax made during the period 2000-2010, highlighting the fact that the Romanian economy lies in the inadmissible slope of the curve, both in analyzing the entire period, and in the part of each year. Moreover, this result reveals the existence of unnecessary redistribution of income in the Romanian economy during the period under review.
