A computable general equilibrium (CGE) model with endogenous labor supply for the study of income taxation in Indonesia

The personal income tax in Indonesia has grown in revenue importance since major changes in 1984 broadened its base and lowered its bracket rates. Currently, the personal income tax and the corporate income tax are the second most important sources of government revenue in Indonesia. This thesis explores how the personal income tax might be used to replace the revenues from a number of alternative taxes including the value-added tax, the oil tax and import duties. Secondly, this thesis explores the welfare consequences of using the personal income tax to redistribute income from rich to poor households in Indonesia. It does this through a number of simulations.
