Incorporating a progressive income tax into an economic decision problem raises the question whether this tax does not create arbitrage opportunities. We investigate this problem in a riskless (multi-period) economy. With a convex tax function we identify a particular kind of arbitrage (called...

We look at the theory of arbitrage with taxation under certainty. The tax scale in our model is not linear. Under the premise that tax scale is convex, we analyze prices that do not exhibit arbitrage opportunities. It turns out that there are two kinds of arbitrage: unbounded as well as bounded...
