摘要:In this paper, we use administrative data on tax returns to characterize the distributions of before
and after-tax income, tax liabilities, and tax credits in Spain for individuals and households. We use
the most recent available data, 2015 for individuals and 2013 for households, but also discuss how
the income distribution and taxes have changed since 2002. We also estimate effective tax
functions that capture the underlying heterogeneity of the data in a parsimonious way. These
parametric functions can be used to calculate after-tax incomes in surveys where this information is
not directly available, and can also be used in quantitative work in macroeconomics and public
finance.
