Tax Incidence - Economics Dictionary of Arguments | |||
Tax incidence: Tax incidence refers to the distribution of the burden of a tax between buyers and sellers in an economic transaction. It determines who ultimately bears the economic impact of a tax, whether it's the consumers through higher prices, producers through reduced revenue, or a combination of both. The incidence depends on the relative price elasticity of supply and demand in the market. See also Taxation, Tax evasion, Tax avoidance, Tax havens, Tax competition, Tax loopholes, Tax system._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
