 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> proportional to the income of tax payers
Answer: (c)
The principle of equity includes both horizontal and vertical. Equity is determined by first assessing an individual’s ability to pay. The idea of the ability to pay principle considers whether or not it is fair to tax someone higher just because that person has the ability and resources to pay.
If it is decided that they should be required to pay more, the question of how much more arises.
These questions can be analyzed through horizontal and vertical equity which are subsets of the ability-to-pay principle. Horizontal equity suggests it is fair for people of equal ability to pay the same amount in taxes.
