Question

The sales tax

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sales tax imposes a relatively greater burden on the poor because they tend to spend a higher portion of their income on taxable goods and services. Additionally, some states do not exempt necessary items like clothing and medicine from sales tax. Sales tax rates can vary between states, but are typically higher than 1-2 percent. The revenue from sales tax is a significant source of funding for both state and local governments, but it is not the only source of revenue.
