This part is crucial as it as it’s the incentive for you to earn and the marginal tax rate shows how much of your earnings is turned over to tax, as well as how much each individual keep.  By increasing the tax rates people get less of there earnings.  This can have effects on the output on economy in two ways.

1. Having a high marginal rate reduces the  money getting paid to workers, so they will unwilling to save as much or spend on luxury’s.

Marginal tax rates can have real output and can affect government revenue, by an increase within the e marginal tax rate can shrink the tax base which could discourage the work effort but also encourage the tax avoidance and evasion.  doesn’t necessarily lead to increase tax rates but can lead to less than increase in tax revenue.
