I don't think so. A marginal rate is the amount you pay on the next $ of income. As our tax brackets are progressive, and with the additional income you get no more exemptions/deductions than the previous, it would seem it would have to be positive...or at least as positive as you were before, (so if the marginal increase still means you get taxable income (from child care, or earned income credit, etc.) I guess your entire effective rate would be negative.

Why do the Scandinavian countries have high taxes?

According to the OECD, Denmark (26.4 percent), Norway (19.7 percent), and Sweden (22.1 percent) all raise a high amount of tax revenue as a percent of GDP from individual income taxes and payroll taxes. This is compared to the 15 percent of GDP raised by the United States through its individual income taxes and payroll taxes for instance. In order to raise a lot of income tax revenue, income tax rates in Scandinavian countries are rather high except for that of Norway. Denmark's top marginal effective income tax rate is 60.4 percent. Sweden's is 56.4 percent. Norway's top marginal tax rate is 39 percent. Scandinavian income taxes raise a lot of revenue because they are actually considered flat. In other words, they tax most people at high rates, not just the high-income taxpayers. The top marginal tax rate of 60 percent in Denmark applies to all income over 1.2 times the average income in Denmark. Sweden and Norway have similarly flat income tax systems. Sweden's top marginal tax rate of 56.9 percent applies to all income over 1.5 times the average income in Sweden. Norway's top marginal tax rate of 39 percent applies to all income over 1.6 times the average Norwegian income.

Who are the Marginal earners of tax?

Marginal earners of tax refer to individuals or households whose income falls within the range that is subject to taxation at the highest marginal tax rate applicable to their earnings. They typically earn just enough to be taxed but may not have significant disposable income after fulfilling tax obligations and necessary living expenses. This group can include low to middle-income earners, who may experience a higher tax burden relative to their income, thus affecting their overall financial well-being.


If a firm's marginal tax rate is increased this would other things held constant lower the cost of debt used to calculate its WACC True or False?

True. An increase in a firm's marginal tax rate reduces the after-tax cost of debt because interest expenses are tax-deductible. This means that the effective cost of borrowing becomes lower for the firm, which, when calculating the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC), results in a decreased cost of debt, assuming all other factors remain constant.
