Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Regressive taxes are those that place a greater burden on those with lower incomes, as a larger portion of their income goes towards paying the tax. Examples of regressive taxes include sales tax and property tax. This is in contrast to progressive taxes, which increase in proportion to income, and flat taxes, which are a fixed percentage for all income levels. Nominal taxes simply refer to the stated amount of tax without regard to income level or burden.
