Abstract

The paper analyses Irpef evolution since the 70s up today. It can be proved that personal income tax is no more general rather it has become a progressive tax based only on particular income groups (namely, incomes from subordinate work, pensions). The explanation is based on: a) the comparison between fiscal and National Accounting data per institutional sector; b) the application of progressivity and redistibution indexes (Kakwani, Reynolds-Smolensky). The interpretation is consistent with the observed interventions to modify the Italian tax system and to reflect the conclusions reached to support dual income taxation.
