Abstract

Este artículo estima la carga tributaria nacional sobre los trabajadores y los propietarios de capital en Colombia durante el periodo 2000-2014, con base en un enfoque de tarifas impositivas efectivas. Para el agregado del impuesto de renta y el impuesto sobre el valor agregado (IVA), los resultados indican que durante casi todo el periodo los ingresos laborales soportaron una tarifa efectiva superior a la que recayó sobre los ingresos de capital, aunque la brecha ha tendido a cerrarse. This paper estimates the national tax burden on workers and owners of capital in Colombia during the period 2000-2014 by using an effective tax rates approach. For the aggregate of the income tax and the value added tax (VAT), the results indicate that, for most of the period, labor income had a higher effective rate than capital income, although the gap has tended to close.
