This article evaluates the discrepancies in the distribution of household income in selected European States. The article focuses on the analysis of Gini coefficient before and after taxation and social transfers in selected European States as well as it analyses the impact of taxation and social transfers on discrepancies in household income in selected States. The results show that with regard to absolute values discrepancies in household income are largely reduced by taxation and social transfers in Austria, Belgium, Germany and Finland, as to relative values: in Belgium, Austria, Finland and Slovenia while they are the least reduced, with regard to both absolute and relative values, in Iceland, Switzerland, Greece and the Netherland.

Celem artykułu jest analiza poziomu współczynnika Giniego przed i po uwzględnieniu podatków oraz transferów, a także analiza wpływu podatków oraz transferów na poziom rozwarstwienia dochodowego w wybranych krajach OECD. Redystrybucja dochodów w analizowanych krajach w niejednakowym stopniu niweluje nierówności społeczne. Rozwarstwienie dochodowe w największym stopniu zostało zredukowane poprzez podatki i transfery socjalne w Irlandii, Finlandii i Belgii, zaś w najmniejszym stopniu w Stanach Zjednoczonych, Kanadzie, Islandii i Holandii. Od regulacji, przyjętych przepisów, polityki, a także charakteru systemu gospodarczego poszczególnego państwa zależy, czy rozwarstwienie dochodowe będzie niwelowane silniej czy słabiej.

This article presents an analysis of the Gini index before and after taxes and social transfers with the aim to study the impact of taxes and social transfers on the income disparity in some of the OECD countries. The main result of this analysis is that the redistribution of income in analyzed countries can minimize income inequalities. The income disparity in the period of 2008-2013 was minimized by the means of taxes and social transfer most efficiently in Ireland, Finland and Belgium and less efficiently in United States, Canada, Iceland and Netherlands. This paper concludes that the efficiency of minimization of the income disparity depends upon the government regulations, fiscal policies, as well as, the overall economic system of a particular country.
