Помогите перевести с английского языка на русский.
Progressive and regressive taxes describe the tax table, not a political opinion. It’s like a mathematical function. In a progressive tax, the more you earn, the higher your tax rate. The opposite of a progressive tax is a regressive tax. In this case, the less you earn, the higher your tax rate.
The classical progressive tax is income tax, where people with more income pay a higher percentage of it in taxes.
The classical regressive tax is income tax, where people with more income pay a less percentage of it in taxes.
The classical regressive tax is sales tax (since lower income people spend a large portion of their income). For example, let’s imagine two frugal travelling salesmen. They each have to buy a new car every four years to (say) keep up appearances, and they need reliable transportation. (One guy makes 20K, the other 300K).
Poor boy buys a $20,000 car pays $1,000 or 5% of his income.
Rich boy buys a $60,000 car pays $3,000 or 1% of his income.
Many taxes tend to be regressive in practise: social security taxes (because they exclude interest, rent, and other kinds of income common for the affluent), excise taxes and etc. (a flat tax, also called a proportional tax, is one where the tax amount is fixed as a function of income, and is a term mainly used only in the context of income taxes).
