Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tax incidence refers to the way that the burden of a tax is distributed among different groups in society. A tax may be considered regressive if the burden falls more heavily on lower-income individuals, or progressive if it falls more heavily on higher-income individuals. The term "zero-base budgeting" refers to a budgeting technique where each budget item is evaluated without reference to past expenditures, while "sectioning" is not a term commonly used in discussions of taxation.
