impozit regresiv

Definition from Vezi linkul:
Un impozit regresiv, in schimb, reprezinta situatia in care cu cit cineva cistiga mai mult, cu atit impozitul reprezinta o proportie mai mica din venitul sau. Cu alte cuvinte, impozitele regresive vor afecta mai mult pe oamenii mai saraci decit pe cei mai bogati. Definitia completa este:<br /><br />Impozit progresiv (taxa progresiva) : impozitul reprezinta o mai mare proportie din venitul unei persoane cind venitul creste. Altfel spus, rata medie de impozitare creste.<br /><br />Impozit regresiv : impozitul reprezinta o proportie mai mica din venit cind venitul creste. Rata medie de impozitare scade.
Example sentences:
O alta masura prevazuta de Codul Fiscal este cresterea impozitului pe locuintele mai mari de 150 de metri patrati cu cate 5 la suta la fiecare 50 de metri patrati in plus. A fost eliminat impozitul pe castig, adica pe diferenta dintre vanzarea si cumpararea de case si terenuri si s-a introdus un impozit regresiv pe pretul de vanzare. (bizwords.ro)
