AIMS

In this project indirect taxes for Austria were integrated into the European-wide tax-benefit microsimulation model EUROMOD. For the project, micro-data from the Household Budget Survey (Konsumerhebung) 2009/10 were matched with EU-SILC-data. After the integration, it was possible to simulate different rates of value-added tax for various commodity groups and analyse the outcomes in terms of disposable household incomes.
