Regressive Taxation and Wage Dispersion
What is the most likely effect on a country’s overall wage dispersion following a shift to a more regressive sales tax system?
A
Reduced wage dispersion as regressive taxes promote price competitiveness amongst producers leading toward even distribution of jobs across different pay scales.
B
Decreased wage dispersion as uniform sales tax rates encourage greater hiring across all sectors.
C
Unchanged wage dispersion because indirect taxes like sales tax have no direct impact on wages or salary structures.
D
Increased wage dispersion due to higher relative tax burden on lower-income individuals leading to a net decrease in real income.
