| Abstract: | The paper addresses the question of the optimal taxation of labour and interest income in an overlapping generations model with 2 unobservable characteristics, ability and inheritance. It is assumed realistically that saving can only be taxed anonymously, whereas the tax on labour earnings can be individualized and made nonlinear. In such a setting, it is shown that with-holding tax on interest income along with the nonlinear tax on labour income is desirable. The role of interest income taxation is to indirectly tax inherited wealth. |
