English

Subject field(s)
  • Taxation
DEF

The more than proportionate increase in income tax corresponding to an increase in income.

CONT

When income of a taxpayer increases by 10 per cent in two years, income tax may increase by 15 per cent under the progressive income tax system. The difference of 5 per cent is fiscal drag. Fiscal drag may be divided into "inflationary fiscal drag" which corresponds to a change in income due to inflation, and "real fiscal drag" which corresponds to a change in real income.

French

DEF

Accroissement de l'impôt sur le revenu plus que proportionnel à la hausse du revenu.

CONT

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.
