Urban Fiscal Policy
A progressive tax is a taxation system in which the tax rate increases as the taxable amount increases. This means that individuals with higher incomes pay a larger percentage of their income in taxes compared to those with lower incomes, which aims to reduce income inequality and provide a fairer distribution of the tax burden. Progressive taxes are often associated with income taxes and can include various limitations and exemptions that further influence how much individuals actually pay.
