We analyse Swedes' opinions about the levels of 11 different taxes to see which taxes people are most averse to and why. The most unpopular tax is the real estate tax, while the corporate tax is the least unpopular. We find a strong self-interest effect in tax attitudes and that knowledge and education increase support for corrective taxes. Search |
