Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A proportional tax, also known as a flat tax, is where the percentage of income paid in taxes is the same regardless of the size of the income. For example, if everyone pays 20% of their income in taxes, then someone who makes $20,000 a year would pay $4,000 in taxes, and someone who makes $200,000 a year would pay $40,000 in taxes. It is neither regressive nor progressive.
