Question
If a government defaults on the value of its debt by
3/4, this is the same as imposing a ____ tax on interest and repayment of the principal.Solution
I borrow 100 euros from you and promise to pay you back next year the principal and 10%. That means I owe you 110 euros next year. I now unilaterally declare that I will only honour 25 euros of debt to you. Next period I pay you 27.5 euros [25 + 1/4(10)]. That is the same amount as though announcing to you next period that I would tax your 110 euros 75% (i.e., you keep only .25*110=27.5)
