    A tax which is charged at 10% of the cost of domestic heating costs and which is
    collected by an addition to heating bills, would be:
    A Progressive
    B Regressive
    C Proportional
    D Direct

    i am confused between b and c .

    The tax rate charged is proportional to the level of usage.

    C – Proportional…

    Tax is charged over usage of other thing.

    I think it is

    B – Regressive.

    The tax hits poorer households proportionally more, as their income rises they probably don’t use much more heating and so pay less tax relative to their income.

    “10% of the cost of domestic heating costs”
    the charge will be 10% of whatever the heat bill is so it is a proportional tax
