Abstract

Marginal indirect tax reform analysis evaluates for each commodity (group) the marginal welfare cost (MC) of increasing government revenue by one euro by raising the indirect tax rate on that commodity. In this paper, an adjustment to the MC expressions is proposed to allow for (de)merit good arguments and it is shown how this adjustment can easily be parameterized on the basis of econometric demand analysis.
