Discrete brackets may also disincentivize earnings in some situations if an individual is just below a bracket That's a misunderstanding of how marginal tax rates work. Having a higher income will never result in less money (at least at far as the tax system is concerned).

If you are intending to ask about tax brackets in the United States, the tax liability versus income is actually continuous curve (after an initial zero tax liability for very low income levels) | |
