Abstract

A tanulmány a tőkejövedelemre kivetett adó optimális nagyságára vonatkozó legújabb elméleti eredményeket tekinti át. A társasági adó mértéke, az árfolyamnyereség és a megtakarítások kamatának adóztatása körüli magyar viták arra mutatnak, hogy e normatív kérdés alaposabb tanulmányozása az aktuális gazdaságpolitika szempontjából is fontos. Egy általános egyensúlyi modell különböző változataiban megmutatjuk, hogy ha a kormányzat optimálisan választja meg az adókulcsokat, akkor a tőkejövedelmeket egyáltalán nem adóztatja. Az optimális politika még akkor is kizárja a tőkejövedelmek adóztatását, ha az állam csak azoknak az állampolgárainak a jólétével törődik, akik nem birtokolnak tőkejavakat. Ha a humán tőke felhalmozása befolyásolja a munka termelékenységét, akkor az állampolgárai jólétével törődő állam sem a tőke-, sem a munkajövedelmeket nem fogja adóztatni, és kiadásait kizárólag fogyasztási adókból fedezi.
