Correct Answer: progressive tax


Solution : The correct answer is a progressive tax .

A progressive tax rate or progressive taxation is a tax rate that grows as the extent of the tax base (the taxable amount or value) increases. Larger-income people or corporations pay a higher percentage of their income or the value of the taxable base in taxes under a progressive tax system. This is typically related to income taxes in many nations and is frequently used to distribute the tax burden more equally.
