Abstract

Taxation on income and wealth and taxation on consumption have different effects on income distribution. While tax policies, on the one hand, provide government service expenditures for the welfare of the society, on the other hand, they have determinative effects on income distribution. This study aims to analyze the impact of tax policies on income inequality. For this purpose, the Gini coefficient is used to represent the equality/inequality in income distribution in 38 countries with available data covering the years 2003-2019 and the effect of income, wealth and consumption tax revenues on income distribution is analyzed. As a result, it is found that the countries in the sample group have distorted the income distribution, while taxes on income and wealth have adjusted the income distribution.

Gelir Dağılımı ve Vergi Gelirleri Arasındaki İlişki: Panel Veri Analizi

Abstract

Verginin gelir ve servet üzerinden alınması ile tüketim üzerinden alınmasının gelir dağılımı üzerinde farklı etkileri vardır. Vergi politikalarının bir taraftan toplumun refahı için hizmet harcamaları sunarken diğer taraftan gelir dağılımı üzerinde belirleyici etkileri olabilmektedir. Bu çalışma vergi politikalarının gelir adaleti üzerindeki etkisini analiz etmeyi hedeflemektedir. Bu amaca yönelik olarak çalışmada verisine ulaşılabilen 38 ülkenin 2003-2019 yıllarını kapsayan gelir dağılımındaki eşitliği/eşitsizliği temsilen Gini katsayısı verileri kullanılmış ve ülkelerin uygulamış oldukları gelir, servet, tüketim vergi gelirlerinin gelir dağılımına etkisi analiz edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; örneklem grubundaki ülkelerin gelir dağılımını bozduğu, gelir ve servet üzerinden alınan vergilerin ise gelir dağılımını düzelttiği bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır.
