Origins of the American Income Tax: The Revenue Act of 1894 and its Aftermath
Richard Joseph
Drawing on rare records from Congress, Richard J. Joseph demonstrates how the idea of relating taxes to individuals and businesses evolved during 1893-1895, leading in 1894 to the first American income tax legislation. That initial law, he notes, was intended to create a permanent and a fair ""ability-to-pay"" system.
