Definitions:

Tax Rate Structure

The framework defining how different levels of income are taxed at various rates, often progressive, where higher income incurs higher tax rates.

Progressive

A tax system in which the tax rate increases as the taxable amount increases, placing a larger burden on those who have higher incomes.

Proportional

A tax system where the tax rate remains constant as the taxable amount increases.

Regressive

A tax system where the tax rate decreases as the taxable amount increases, leading to lower-income individuals bearing a proportionally higher tax burden.
