Question
What do you understand by ‘regressive taxation’?
Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)
A regressive tax is generally a tax that is applied uniformly. This means that it hits lower-income individuals harder.
The regressive tax imposes a greater burden (relative to resources) on the poor than on the rich — there is an inverse relationship between the tax rate and the taxpayer’s ability to pay as measured by assets, consumption, or income.
