Explanation:
A sales tax is a tax on the consumption of goods and services levied by the government or an agency of the government.
There are three types of tax systems
1. Regressive tax system is a tax system where those that earn lower income pay more tax and those that earn higher income pay less tax.
2. A proportionate tax taxes everyone the same regardless of the amount earned.
3. A progressive tax is a tax structure where those who earn higher income are taxed more and those that earn less pay less amount of tax.
A sales tax is regressive.
This can be illustrated with an example.
Person A earns $100,000 while person B earns $1000. They both purchased a good and the sales tax paid was $50.
The proportion of sales tax to income for person A = 50 / 100,000 = 0.05%
The proportion of sales tax to income for person B = 50 / 1000 = 5%
It can be seen that the sales tax is relatively more expensive to the poor than to the rich. this is an example of a regressive tax
