progressiv skat
Definition from
Den store Danske:
progressiv skat, skat, som indebærer, at skattebetalingen vokser mere end proportionalt med skatteyderens indkomst. Formålet med en progression i skattesystemet er at føre fordelingspolitik. Progressionen skal sikre, at de højeste indkomster bærer ikke bare en absolut, men også en forholdsmæssigt stor andel af skattebetalingen.
Example sentences:
Skatten i Danmark er progressiv. Det vil sige, at du betaler mere i skat af den sidst tjente krone. Skatten består bl.a. af bundskat, mellemskat og topskat, samt kommune- og kirkeskat. (Borger.dk)
