A note on the optimum income tax

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the optimum income tax is presented. Optimum utilitarian conditions are set for the tax, while focus is given to the group of least qualified individuals who have no incentive to work. It is shown that the positive marginal tax rate is generated by the decision of redistributing time between income and leisure. The redistribution scheme is taken under self-selection constraints and preferences.
