Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A negative income tax involves giving a lump sum payment to all citizens, which is reduced at a rate of less than 100% as income is earned. This is different from a positive income tax, which requires citizens to pay taxes, and an unearned income tax credit, which provides tax credits for certain types of income. An in-kind transfer involves providing goods or services instead of cash.
