Misperceptions of the marginal tax rates could lead to inefficient labour supply decisions. We conducted a survey experiment among respondents of the LISS panel to better understand what misperceptions people have and whether addressing those misperceptions can influence their labour supply decisions. In one treatment, we provide information on the modal marginal tax rates in three different income brackets. In another treatment, we refer to a website that allows them to calculate their marginal tax rate. In the third treatment, we combine the two.
