Issues and Complexities with Income Splitting

 

What are the policies underlying a progressive income tax?

Why are we using income rather than wealth or consumption as the tax base? Why do we have taxes at all? What is money? This white paper discusses the answers to these questions; and reviews shifting the recognition of taxable income, usually ordinary income, but also realized gains, typically from a taxpayer in a higher marginal rate bracket to a taxpayer in a lower rate bracket.
