摘要:
This paper empirically investigates the incidence of VAT using China’s tax reform. We find that: First, prices charged by firms do not change after the tax cut. Second, the reform leads a significant increase in firms’ profitability (profit to sales ratio) by 1.7 percentage points. Third, the reform increased average wages of employees by 4.4%. Therefore, firm owners pocketed more than 72 percent of the VAT cut, and employees pocketed the remaining 28 percent windfalls, while customers do NOT benefit from the VAT cut.
