Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vertical equity is concerned with fairness in the distribution of tax burdens based on the ability to pay. It means that people with a higher ability to pay should pay a higher proportion of their income in taxes than those with a lower ability to pay. Therefore, people in different circumstances should be treated differently to ensure a fair distribution of the tax burden.
