It is analyzing the dynamics and the degree of relatedness between PIT and GDP (in percentage and in absolute figure). The aim is to analyze the degree of relatedness between PIT and GDP, so that in the future Fiscal Policy (PIT) affect more in the growth of GDP. Conclusions that have emerged from this analysis are: PIT is the tax that has changed more than any other tax, 9 times, almost every 2.8 years. There is strong correlative link between her and the dynamics of GDP in percentage and in absolute figure. This is because PIT is reflected in G (government purchases), and G is part of GDP. It is recommended not to change often the PIT rate, because frequent changes have a negative impact on the performance of revenue collection.
