Abstract

La participación de las rentas del trabajo en los ingresos fiscales en España es superior a la participación de las rentas laborales en la renta nacional. Dado que la participación de las rentas laborales en la renta nacional es constante, la única manera de aproximar estas participaciones es a través de una reforma fiscal en la que el tipo efectivo sobre las rentas laborales sea menor. El principal postulado de este artículo es que no es posible diseñar una política de sustitución de impuestos que consiga disminuir los impuestos sobre las rentas del trabajo y compensar esta disminución con un incremento de los impuestos sobre las rentas del capital que tenga la propiedad de mantener el ingreso fiscal y la producción constantes.
