Purpose Review of some standard Public Finance results

Standard PF insight: the e¢ ciency loss from a tax is equal to the e¤ect on government revenue from all the behavioral changes generated by the tax

) All responses may be captured by looking at changes in taxable income (su¢ cient statistics) obtained from individual tax returns ) The modern empirical PF literature focus on measuring the elasticity of taxable income (ETI) rather than the hours elasticity The ETI is typically estimated using di¤-in-di¤ types of methodologies using tax reforms as exogenous variation Example: The tax rate is reduced for a treatment group and stays unchanged for a control group. Compute the (percentage) change in income from pre-reform to post-reform of the treatment group relative to the control group (counterfactural is a common trend) 2 Rockwool (1 Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen andIncome Shifting Foundation Research Unit)

Purpose Why interested in intertemporal shifting of income?

At least two reasons to be interested in intertemporal shifting of wage income: 1. Intertemporal shifting of income is a behavioral responses ) loss of economic e¢ ciency 2. The long run, structural elasticity of ETI is what really matters when considering tax reforms BUT the empirical estimates may be upward biased due to income shifting (Saez et al, 2012) Research questions How common is intertemporal shifting of "normal" wage income? How much of the ETI can be attributed to intertemporal shifting behavior? Importance of incentives, information and employer cooperation for shifting behavior? 2 Rockwool (1 Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen andIncome Shifting Foundation Research Unit)

Previous Literature Limited knowledge on the extent of intertemporal shifting of wage income

Evidence of shifting between tax bases (Auerbach and Slemrod 1997) Timing of capital gains realizations appears to react strongly to changes in capital gains tax rates (Auerbach, 1988) Signi…cant part of the increase in taxable income of executives is due to timing in the realization of stock options (Goolsbee, 2000b) Much more di¢ cult to change the timing of regular labor income than the timing of capital income and stock-options: I

Higher transaction costs

I

Need corporation with your employer

I

More likely to become credit constrained if not receiving labor income

Data (eIndkomst) Before: Companies are obligated to report their employees’wage income, labor market contribution, tax payments etc. on a yearly basis. (For SKL § 7 in Danish, see https://www.retsinformation.dk/Forms/R0710.aspx?id=17108)

– E¤ectively January 2008 – After: Companies are obligated to report their employees’wage income, labor market contribution, tax payments etc. on a monthly basis. In other words, the eIncome register captures all the information that is printed on a typical Danish payslip. (For eIndkomst see http://www.skat.dk/skat.aspx?oId=401651&vId=0)

Why: The eIncome register has two major innovations compared to the earlier system. First the montly reporting of income replace yearly reports thus SKAT always have up-to-date information for all tax payers. Second all public bodies share the information reducing companies’administrative burdens.

Tax Incentives, Employer Cooperation and Information I

Tax Incentives:

The Danish 2010 tax reform reduced the marginal tax rate on earnings from 63 percent to 56 percent for the 1/3 of employees with the highest income. I

Employer Cooperation:

The shifting of income requires cooperation from the employer, who reports earnings to the tax authorities. I

Information:

The employee needs knowledge about the potential economic gain and the tax law. 2 Rockwool (1 Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen andIncome Shifting Foundation Research Unit)

Tax Incentives, Employer Cooperation and Information A Feldstien type approach gives an elasticity estimate of 0.1 log (yi )2009 = α + βs [log (1

log (yi )2010

m i ,2010 )

log (1

m i ,2009 )] + ei ,2010 ,m

ei ,2010 ,m

where βs is the elasticity of taxable income (where the s superscript relates to the simple approach taken here), m i ,2009 2009 is the pre-reform tax rate, which is treated as exogenous, while m i ,2010 is the predicted marginal tax rate after the reform.

A Goolsbee Type Decomposition Approach reveals that shifting accounts for 60% of the simple elasticity estimate. log (yi )yr ,m

log (yi )2008,m = α + βT 09 d Tx 09 + β10 d 10 + βT 10 d Tx 10 + ei ,2010 ,m

Where βs = βT 10

ei ,2010 ,m

βT 09

Note that shifting implies that βT 09 will be negative and therefore that βs overestimates the structural elasticity. The structural elasticity will equal η = βT 10 + βT 09 which take into account that some of the increase in observed income in 2010 is due to shifting of income from 2009 to 2010. 2 Rockwool (1 Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen andIncome Shifting Foundation Research Unit)

Information Survey Questionarie in February 2010: Q1 (Brief) Imagine that you were entitled to a little extra wage income in December ‘09: when would you prefer to receive the extra income payment? December ‘09 or January ‘10. Q2 (Brief) Is it legal or illegal to postpone the wage income you earned in 2009 to 2010? Timing December ‘09 January ‘10 Doesn’t matter Total (%)

Legal (%) 3.44 8.78 21.17 33.39

Illegal (%) 6.06 14.77 45.78 66.61

Total (%) 9.50 23.56 66.94 100.00

Fairly intense newspaper scrutinization: For example: www.epn.dk and www.borsen.dk (date: October 12th and 15th) outlines the scheme, but questions if it is legal. A spokes person from SKAT says YES IT IS! The popular press also picks it up: DR (November 6th), TV2 (October 15th), BT (November 29th) 2 Rockwool (1 Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen andIncome Shifting Foundation Research Unit)

Pension Payments The 2010 tax reform also encouraged taxpayers to move pension payments forward. The reasoning behind moving pension payment forward is closely related to the motivation for income shifting. Deposits to an annuity pension plan (ratepension) can be deducted from the taxable income. The decrease of the marginal tax rates lowers the deduction value (in percentage terms) of pension payments. Thus, a taxpayer faced with the top tax in both 2009 and 2010 should favor deposits in 2009 and thereby take advantage of the 62.86 percent deduction value. (#) Gross Income = A-income + (1 /3 ) ATP contributions + (1 /3 ) PensionPayments

If the taxpayer increases his pension payments then gross income will be constant, A-income and ATP contributions will drop and pension payments will be increased. The approx in (#) is useful since pension payments are not reported directly to eIncome and thus have to be calculated. Notice that the 2010 tax reform invoked a max deduction of a 100.000 DKK for contributions to pension annuity and discontinuing annuities. 2 Rockwool (1 Department of Economics, University of Copenhagen andIncome Shifting Foundation Research Unit)
