The canonical model of Allingham and Sandmo (1972) predicts that firms evade taxes by optimally trading off between the costs and benefits of evasion. However, there is no direct evidence that firms react to audits in this way. We conducted a large-scale field experiment in collaboration with...

By using a bunching design on rich administrative tax records from Uruguay's tax agency we explore how individual taxpayers respond to personal income taxation in a context with high sheltering opportunities. We estimate a moderated elasticity of taxable income in the first kink point (0.16)...

Based on detailed administrative tax records, we implement a bunching design to explorehow individual taxpayers respond to personal income taxation in Uruguay. We estimatea very modest elasticity of taxable income at the first kink point (0.06) driven bya combination of gross labour income and...
