Lorsque le revenu d’un contribuable augmente de 10 % en deux ans, la progressivité du système d’imposition peut faire augmenter de 15 % son impôt. Cet écart de 5 % représente le «freinage fiscal». Celui-ci peut être ventilé entre le «freinage fiscal lié à l'inflation», qui correspond à une modification imputable à l'inflation, et le «freinage réel» qui correspond à une modification du revenu réel. 2, record 2, French, - freinage%20fiscal
