Horizontal equity means that taxpayers with the same ability to pay should contribute the same amount in taxes. Therefore, households with identical abilities to pay would bear the same tax burden. This does not necessarily mean that households of the same size or age group would share the same tax burden, or that there would be equity between different income classes or a flat tax rate for all households.
