Abstract Fair distribution of income has been considered as the most important economic issues in different countries. In recent years, the quality of income distribution and the impact of macroeconomic policies on that has been more considered, especially after the issue of poverty reduction projects in the world. In today's world, the biggest factor causing poverty is not the lack of income, but it is the unfair distribution. Currently, majority of economists, considered the income distribution as one of the goals of government economic programs and the impact of fiscal policy on that as very important. This paper seeking for examination of the effect of fiscal policies on income distribution in IRAN. For this purpose we use a quantile regression model. In summary, the results show that the government's fiscal policies that impact on the Gini coefficient is not constant, but between different quantiles is different. While these policies in low quantiles do not have significant effects on income distribution, but their effects on the high quantile income distribution is quite significant.
