Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of a lump-sum tax, where every citizen has to pay the same amount regardless of their income level. It is not a proportional tax, as a proportional tax would have a constant percentage of income being taxed. It is not a progressive tax, as a progressive tax would tax higher income earners at a higher rate. It is also not a regressive tax, as a regressive tax would impose a higher burden on lower income earners.
