Abstract: This paper reports estimates of average marginal tax rates on capital income over the period from the fiscal year beginning in 1964 to that ending in 1993 and describes in some detail how these estimates have been calculated. The results indicate a sharp reduction over the sample period in the average marginal tax rate on income from equity investments. This is due to falling tax rates and a shift away from personal holdings of equity to holdings through tax exempt institutions. This together with a decline in the rate of corporation tax has resulted in a fall in the average marginal tax rate on capital income generated by companies. Contact NIESR if copy required
