The Loss of the welfare to the taxpayers and the community as a whole
The Real Burden of Tax refers to the overall economic impact of taxation on taxpayers and society, beyond just the monetary amount paid. It encompasses the loss of welfare, which includes reduced disposable income, decreased consumption, and potential disincentives for work and investment. This concept highlights that taxes can lead to inefficiencies and a decrease in overall societal welfare, not just a transfer of money to the government. According to economists, the real burden can also include deadweight loss, which occurs when tax policies distort economic behavior.
