We examine the recent tax progressivity literature related to income inequality, in the international arena as well as in Mexico as a special case. Findings show that most of the empirical evidence lack the application of formal support of comparison over time. Besides, there is a trend of tax progressivity decomposition analysis to identify partial effects on inequality and redistribution. Measurement of progressivity address to local and global methodological approaches; however, there is an absence of non-parametric techniques regardless microdata availability. An empirical application to measure progressivity is carried out using 2006 and 2018 fiscal systems, where evidence provide a robust analysis for policymakers to adjust fiscal policy design under scientific basis.
