Section 4.1 focuses on DIT: "it emerges that the dual income tax (DIT) reforms in the Nordic countries in the early 1990s contributed to important shifts in the concentration of capital incomes across the income distribution and hence to rapid changes in the degree of income composition inequality".

Beregninger gjort av NRK viser at de 10 rikeste (formue) hadde betalt en betydelig lavere andel i personskatt uten formuebeskatning (med unntak av AG Andresen). Det er formueskatten som sikrer effektive marginale skattesatser høyere enn null for de aller rikeste.
