For example, there are deductions and exemptions for income tax, untaxed items for the sales tax, and income that is not taxed by the payroll tax. Income tax incidence table (find your three rates for the 3 income groups) Income Tax rate 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% 50% Tax incidence for 0% 2% 5% 8% 10% 13% 15% 18% 20% 23% 25% lower income group Tax incidence for 0% 2% 5% 8% 10% 13% 15% 18% 20% 23% 25% middle income group Tax incidence for 0% 2% 5% 8% 10% 13% 15% 18% 20% 23% 25% upper income group Sale tax incidence table (find your rate) Sales Tax rate 0% 2% 4% 6% 8% 10% 12% Tax incidence for lower income group 0% 1% 3% 4% 6% 8% 10% Tax incidence for middle income 0% 1% 2% 2% 3% 4% 5% group Tax incidence for upper income group 0% 0% 1% 1% 2% 2% 3%Question 3 0.5 pts Step 1.B.1. - Sales Tax rate You must decide the SalesTax.

In the table below, you will find how much revenue you will collect from each income group. Income tax revenue (in billions of $) at various tax rates 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% 50% Lower $0 $20 $40 $60 $80 $100 $120 $140 $160 $180 $200 Middle $0 $25 $50 $75 $100 $125 $150 $175 $200 $225 $250 Upper $0 $50 $100 $150 $200 $250 $300 $350 $400 $450 $500 The income tax rates will be: Lower (income under $40,000) = % Middle ($40,000 - 100,000) = % Upper (over $100,000) = % (fill in space below)Question 9 3 pts To improve the tax incidence, you may go back to Step 1 and adjust your income, sale, and payroll tax rates so that your are satisfied with the effect on each income group.
