description This paper considers the claim that explicit profit sharing reduces the marginal cost of labour. This is contrasted with the view that implicit profit sharing occurs through wage bargaining. Using a microeconomic data set from the U.K. we find no evidence that the introduction of profit sharing reduces base wages and, hence, the marginal cost of labour. However, firm profitability is found to have a positive effect on wages, which supports the hypothesis of implicit profit sharing through wage bargaining. These findings suggest that it is hard to justify the favourable tax treatment of profit-related pay found in the U.K.
