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 Directi am confused between b and c .
February 4, 2014 at 6:55 am #155006The tax rate charged is proportional to the level of usage.
February 4, 2014 at 9:12 am #155028C – Proportional…
Tax is charged over usage of other thing.
February 4, 2014 at 10:20 pm #155124I 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.

February 10, 2014 at 1:12 pm #157725The right answer is C – Proportional
February 14, 2014 at 11:41 am #158732“10% of the cost of domestic heating costs”
