摘要
通过对1900-2011年美国、英国、日本、德国及法国的最高1%人口收入比重、个人所得税数据分析,本文得出以下结论 :(1)美国和英国最高收入比重整体上呈"U",日本、德国和法国最高收入比重整体上呈"L"型变动趋势,并不是Kuznets(1955)提出的倒"U"型;(2)国外主要发达国家个人所得税(最高边际税率)对贫富差距起到了重要的调节作用。本文的研究结果对我国今后的税制改革具有重要的借鉴意义。
Through an analysis on income ratio of the top 1% population to the whole and individual income tax data, this paper reaches to the following conclusions: (1) the proportion of top income population in the US and UK shows the shape of "U" as a whole but Japan, Germany and France show as "L" instead of the upside down "U" presented by Kuznets in 1955; (2) individual income tax of major developed countries does have significant impact on adjusting the gap between rich and poor. The results of this paper may give a critical reference to the tax reform in China in the future.
