Lemma 2 (Pfahler) Let T(x) a unidimensional tax schedule and Ti(x),i = 1,2,3 the Pfahler-
based linear cuts with the same aggregate total tax liability. Then
α(x) = α1(x) < α3(x) <
α
2(x) and ψ(x) = ψ2 (x) < ψ3 (x) < ψ1(x).

Proposition 4 (Jakobsson) Let T1(x) and T2(x)be two dual tax schedules. For any pre-tax
income distribution x
= (x1, ...,xn) of a (finite) set of tax-payers,

1. T1(x) = (T1(x1),..., T1 (xn)) is LD by T2(x) = (T2(x1),..., T2(xn)) if and only if α1(x) >
α
2(x) for all x 0.

2. Vι(x) = (xι Tι(xι), ...,xn Tι(xn,))is LD by ½(x) = (xι T2(x1), ...,xn T2(xn)) if
and only if
ψ1(x) > ψ2(x) for all x 0.

It is important to point out that Jakobsson’s proof (1976) assumes implicitly that a

more restrictive constraint than α2 (x0) < α2(x0), for all x0, holds. In fact, he assumes that

α2(x0, x1) < α2(x0, x1) for all x0 < x1, given an income distribution x = {x0 x1 x2 ...}.

However, when x0 x1 both conditions almost coincide. Indeed, α(x0, x1) =
