dc.descriptionThe purpose of this study was to discover, by means of a national survey, whether personal income taxation increased or decreased work effort among weekly paid workers in Britain. Work effort was thought to be influenced by a number of variables, of which personal income taxation was only one. It was intended to assess not only the direction of the effect of income tax, but also its relative importance among other determinants of work effort.<br>en
