On the one hand, progressive taxation in the sense of an increasing average tax rate is known to cut relative income differentials. On the other hand, equiproportionate additions to incomes generate a more than proportional increase of tax revenue under progressive taxation. The author proves in the paper that increasing residual progression is a necessary and sufficient condition for an equiproportionate growth in all incomes to reduce after tax inequality.
