English term or phrase: tax wedge
Just wondering if anyone has seen this term. This is very specific, since it has to do with tax revenues. The term "cuña fiscal" has been suggested, but it does not mean anything in Mexican economics. Any suggestions? Thank you all in advance

Spanish translation:discrepancia impositiva
Explanation:
Claudia te envío lo que encontré en un glosario del Banco Mundial:
tax wedge
discrepancia impositiva
The difference between wages or labor income and the same wages or income plus government taxes on them. It is called a wedge because it is like a wedge which the tax drives between the value of a worker to the firm and the amount received by the worker for working one more hour. A Bank document defined it as "the difference between a given (arbitrary) after-tax rate of return to an individual investor and the pre-tax real rate of return on investment that the firm would need to generate in order to fund the investment."

Explanation:
Todo depende del texto que este traduciendo. Si es un contexto laboral o netamente impositivo. Lo ideal seria que nos ampliaras en contexto. Suerte
