prep-2-50 逃税题

When people evade income taxes by not declaring taxable income, a vicious cycle results.  Tax evasion forces lawmakers to raise income tax rates, which causes the tax burden on nonevading taxpayers to become heavier.  This, in turn, encourages even more taxpayers to evade income taxes by hiding taxable income.

 

The vicious cycle described above could not result unless which of the following were true?

 

(A) An increase in tax rates tends to function as an incentive for taxpayers to try to increase their pretax incomes.

(B) Some methods for detecting tax evaders, and thus recovering some tax revenue lost through evasion, bring in more than they cost, but their success rate varies from year to year.

(C) When lawmakers establish income tax rates in order to generate a certain level of revenue, they do not allow adequately for revenue that will be lost through evasion.

(D) No one who routinely hides some taxable income can be induced by a lowering of tax rates to stop hiding such income unless fines for evaders are raised at the same time.

(E) Taxpayers do not differ from each other with respect to the rate of taxation that will cause them to evade taxes.

大家再帮忙看看这道题。

我理解题目意思是：哪个选项能导致这个循环。

E 是说每个纳税人，到了其认为的税率时，都会表现一样，都会逃税。

这个循环就是： 有人先逃税，有人在纳税－－政府因为有人逃税，就提高税率，增加税收－－导致有新的人开始逃税－－政府就再提高税率－－再有人逃税

因此，E就是导致有新的人逃税的选项啊。

我哪儿里理解错了呢?

说当这帮人逃个税是通过不报TI的恶性循环的结果。说这帮人逃税阿，强制L这帮人

evasion forces lawmakers to raise income tax rates, which causes the tax burden on nonevading

增加个税税率，增加税率这个事呢导致不逃税那帮人负担过重。

taxpayers to become heavier.  This, in turn, encourages even more taxpayers to evade income

增加税率这个事情呢，又导致了更多的纳税人通过藏TI区逃税

taxes by hiding taxable income.

 

文章说：逃不逃税，和增不增加税率。

 The vicious cycle described above could not result unless which of the following were true?
            

问削弱

 (A) An increase in tax rates tends to function as an incentive for taxpayers to try to increase their pretax incomes.

A说增加个税税率趋向有用，对什么有用呢，刺激纳税人尝试增加他们税前收入

(B) Some methods for detecting tax evaders, and thus recovering some tax revenue lost through evasion, bring in more than they cost, but their success rate varies from year to year.

B说有一些办法可以检查逃税者，并且通过逃避恢复国家税收损失比他们逃的，但是
        这个率，每年都不同

(C) When lawmakers establish income tax rates in order to generate a certain level of revenue, they do not allow adequately for revenue that will be lost through evasion.

C说L这帮人建立个税税率目的是为了增加国家收入，他们这样不润需足够的收入通过逃税来损失。

(D) No one who routinely hides some taxable income can be induced by a lowering of tax rates to stop hiding such income unless fines for evaders are raised at the same time.

D说没有人（啥人呢，藏一些TI的）能被低的税率导致不藏个税，除非罚金在同时也增加。

(E) Taxpayers do not differ from each other with respect to the rate of taxation that will cause them to evade taxes.

E说纳税人是没有啥不一样的，在税率（啥税率呢，能导致他们逃税的）主体：纳税人怎么样，跟原文说的不是一个事情。

答案是？

Answer should be C.

My understanding is that C is the premise to raise tax rate. Because evading tax lead to the lost of goverment revenue from tax, if lawmaker can not absorb such lost, then action to compensate the lost-raising tax rate- will be enforced, thereby causing more peole to evade tax

286的幸福观

og有这题，解释的意思是如果每个人的表现都一样或者不一样，当出现某个税率的时候，当然要么都逃税要么都不逃税，这样就不会像LZ的推理一样出现“新”的逃税人了(因为所有人都逃了或者都不愿意逃），自然vicious cycle break。希望帮上忙。
