High rates of personal income tax are thought to have a disincentive effect. This refers to the likelihood that the high rates of tax will:
A Encourage illegal tax evasion by individuals
B Lead to a reduction in the supply of labour
C Lead to a reduction in savings by individuals
D Discourage consumer spending and company investments
High rates of personal income tax lead to after-tax income reduce
=> Price of labour reduce so Supply of labour reduce
But reduction of afer-tax incomeprobably lead to reduction in saving by individuals and consumer spending
Why answer is B
Please explain this to me.
Thank you very much.

Personal income tax
10y ago#1The question is about what will cause disincentive (presumable, disincentive to work or to earn more).
A might be true, but has nothing to do with a disincentive to work.
C might be true, but not related to disincentive - in fact it might do the reverse if people feel less secure because their saving are lower so work harder to try to build them up again.
D is true but again nothing to do with disincentives.
