The main average values are calculated only with this part of the distribution function. Data on the tail of the distribution ate not available.

His account significantly changes the main economic indicators, including the budget deficit.

Keywords: population incomes, the distribution function, the “tail”of distribution, deciles and quintiles, the scale of taxation, the budget deficit.
