Abstract

In rentier countries that rely on rent to finance their public expenditures, attention to rules and regulations governing tax theory is low. In this research, the researcher highlighted the distortion in the distribution of the tax deduction burden on the salaries of government employees in 2015 for the eight functional grades as the ninth and tenth grade is not subject to tax deduction by relying on modern standards in measuring the fairness in the distribution of the tax burden (marginal tax rate). It was found through the research that there is a significant distortion in the distribution of the burden of withholding tax on the additions that occur on the salaries of employees in proportion to their nominal salaries received.
