| Abstract: | This paper examines the implications of endogenising the markup in a simple model of income taxation under monopolistic competition. It is demonstrated that an increase in income tax reduces the number of firms, lessens competition among surviving firms and raises the optimal markups in the new steady state. Through this channel, the effects of income taxation on the key macroeconomics variables as well as on consumer welfare are unambiguously enlarged. |
