Abstract
In this paper the effect of inflation on the real taxation of income in Germany is analyzed. The results show that the effect of inflation on real marginal tax rates is quantitatively strong. As a consequence, ex ante real tax rates become stochastic. However, the effect differs between labor and capital income. It is shown how taxation formulas can be changed in order to avoid these effects.
