Comprehensive income taxation, investments in human and physical capital, and productivity

Abstract

This paper analyses the implications of the comprehensive income tax for the accumulation of human and physical capital and for the overall productivity level of the economy. A comprehensive income tax, applying to both labour income and capital income, is shown to discriminate against investments in human capital relative to investments in physical capital. It has an adverse impact on human capital accumulation and lowers productivity.
