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 .
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
