regressive tax

Tax such that the higher the income of the taxpayer the smaller the proportion or percentage paid in that tax. This contrasts with progressive taxes where the proportion paid rises as income increases, and proportional taxes where the proportion paid remains the same at all levels of income. Examples of regressive taxes in the UK are the council tax and excise duties.
