The role of tax-deductible saving in the transition from a progressive income tax to a progressive consumption tax / by Michael J. Daly, Gary J. Lastman, and Fadle Naqib.EC22-3/1986-308E-PDF

"This paper examines the steady state and transition effects of converting from a graduated income (y) tax to a graduated consumption (c) tax. Our simulation results suggest that considerable dynamic efficiency gains could be achieved by switching to a graduated c-tax, where all saving is tax deductible. An alternative (r) tax system, permitting both tax-deductible and nontax-deductible saving, is also examined. It is shown that not only is such a tax system a feasible way of implementing a progressive c-tax, but also an r-tax without any limits on tax-deductible saving could be more efficient than even a progressive c-tax in a steady state"--Abstract, p. v.
