Taxation, inequality and reciprocity

Workshop, Paris, 29th September 2017, 9h-18h

EHESS, 96 boulevard Raspail 75006 Paris, salle Lombard

The spectacular growth in the income share of the top percentile has led economists to focus on the influence that tax policy has had on income distribution. In such a context, however, many other dimensions of stratification have been neglected. Values, social norms, and attitudes differ across countries and have measurable effects on tax compliance. But tax morale remains seen as a ‘black box’. How can we explain the differences between behaviors towards taxation and a state’s legitimacy? Socioeconomic factors such as age, religion, gender, employment status, and educational background may have a significant impact on people’s level of tax morale. How do low-income families view the tax system and how do they experience and understand fiscal rules? At the higher end of the income scale, how do the rich accept contributing (or not) in accordance with their wealth?

This workshop aims to analyze tax compliance using anthropological methods and historical data. It will also be an occasion to share different qualitative points of view.
