progressive sales tax
A progressive sales tax is a tax levied on goods and services, where the tax rate increases as the price or value of the item being purchased increases. This tax structure aims to place a higher burden on wealthier individuals and reduce the tax burden on lower-income individuals, contributing to a more equitable distribution of taxation.
