?:abstract
  • During the last decade, Greece faced one of the most severe debt crises among developed countries, leading to Economic Adjustment Programs in order to avoid a disorderly default., Expenditures were cut, tax rates were increased and new taxes were introduced aiming at restoring public finances. Prominent among the latter were recurrent property taxes that were playing a very minor role before the crisis. These taxes helped boosting public revenues but were hugely unpopular. The paper examines in detail their distributional effects. Although in absolute terms the taxes paid by richer households were higher than those paid by poorer households, the ratio of the tax to the pretax disposable income was higher in the case of poorer households by a wide margin. Hence, ceteris paribus, inequality and (relative) poverty indices rose after the imposition of the taxes. The result is stronger in the case of inequality indices that are relatively more sensitive to changes close to the bottom of the distribution and poverty indices that are sensitive to the distribution of income among the poor.
