Abstract:The tax burden on equity securities has varied substantially over time and
remains a source of continuing policy debate. This paper investigates whether
investors were compensated for the tax burden of equity securities over the
period between 1913 and 2006. Taxes on equity securities vary over time due to
changes in dividend and capital gains tax rates and due to changes in corporate
payout policies. Equity taxes also vary across firms due to persistent differences
in propensities to pay dividends. The results indicate an economically plausible
and statistically significant tax capitalization over time and cross-sectionally.
