Average tax rate = 20%

Tax liability per year = $20,000 ($100,000 x 20%)

New Tax Regime:

Tax rate = 25%

New taxable income of Song = $75,000

Tax liability = $18,750 ($75,000 x 25%)

Thus, if the tax rate is increased from 20% to 25% forcing Song to reduce his taxable income to $75,000, a. Government's tax revenues would decrease by $1,250.
