When Americans filed their tax returns this year, the United States Treasury Department collected $315.1 billion in tax revenue, a 13.4% increase over last year. Yet the number of tax returns filed by employees did not increase significantly over the past year.
Each of the following, if true, could explain the simultaneous increase in tax revenue collection and the unchanged number of employee tax returns filed EXCEPT:
A. During this year, the number of women who re-entered the workforce as employees, after taking time off to raise children, was greater than the number of people who retired from the workforce.
B. Many retired workers owed more in taxes this year due to an increase in dividends and capital gains on their stock investments.
C. Last year, tax revenues were unusually low because the stock market experienced a marked decline, and many taxpayers reduced their taxable income with capital losses.
D. Compared with previous years, a greater percentage of the total tax revenue this year was collected from small businesses and corporations.
E. The employees who filed tax returns were paid higher wages this year than they were in the past, and thus owed more to the government in taxes per person.
解析如下：
Tax revenues increased 13.4% from the previous year, even though the number of employee tax returns filed stayed almost constant. Many possible explanations exist: an increase in tax revenue collected per person, an increase in tax revenue collected from other sources, such as from businesses or taxes on investments, a misleading increase due to a return to normal levels after a sharp reduction last year, and so on.
(A) CORRECT. This statement does not explain the seemingly contradictory trends. It does not address the change in the revenue at all.
(B) An increase in taxes paid by non-employees on dividends and capital gains would explain how the total tax revenue increased even though the number of employee tax returns filed stayed the same.
(C) If tax revenues were unusually low last year, and then returned to normal levels this year, that would explain how tax revenues could have increased during that time period even though the number of employee tax returns was unchanged.
(D) Rising corporate tax collections could explain rising tax revenue at a time when the number of employee tax returns stayed the same.
(E) Even though the number of employees paying taxes is the same, the fact that the government is collecting more money from them would explain the increase in revenue.
