ANOVA Model - an alternative for VAT research

Abstract

The observations have led to a widespread opinion that the distribution of the VAT burden among particular types of households needs to be constantly monitored, not only for the purpose of controlling its social impacts, but also to gain very useful knowledge on how its rates can be respectively diversi- fied or homogenised. The aim of the article is the use of ANOVA to define redistribution effects of taxing the consump- tion of Polish households with Value Added Tax in Poland. The research was carried out on the sample of the households analysed by GUS [Central Statistical Office] within the research of household budgets in 2011 year - according to deciles income groups.
