Regressive Tax: Takes a larger percentage from low-income earners (e.g., sales tax).
Flat Tax: A single tax rate applied to all income levels.
Purpose:
Funding public services (education, healthcare, infrastructure).
Redistributing wealth.
Influencing economic behavior (incentives for investment, savings).
Tax Compliance:
Individuals and businesses are required to report their income and pay taxes accordingly.
Failure to comply can result in penalties and legal consequences.
Tax Planning:
