## Definition

The fact that a reduction in capital revenue tax rates - at least up to a certain limit - results in an increase in tax revenues. - This statistically well-documented phenomenon is explained by the fact that at a low rate of taxation, taxpayers feel a greater incentive to buy or sell financial assets on the market and take profits.
