अवरोही कर

In Hindi Wiktionary and Reserve Bank of India's Banking Glossary (English-Hindi), the Hindi term for Regressive Tax has been given as अवरोही कर.
Definition from विकिपीडिया:
अवरोही कर उस कर को कहते हैं जो इस प्रकार लगाया जाए कि जिस राशि पर कर लगाया जाना हो उस राशि के बढ़ने के साथ कर की दर कम होती जाए.<br /><br />A regressive tax is a tax imposed in such a manner that the tax rate decreases as the amount subject to taxation increases
Example sentences:
खरीदी जानेवाली वस्तुओं पर अवरोही कर न लगाया जाए, इस दृष्टि से बहुत से राज्य कई प्रकार की वस्तुओं, विशेष रूप से खाद्य पदार्थों को कर-रहित रखते हैं। _ (hi.wiktionary.org)
अवरोही करों में यह प्रयास किया जाता है कि अधिक कर देने की क्षमता वाले व्यक्तियों पर कर के भार में कमी की जाए, क्योंकि इनमें कम कर देने की क्षमता वाले व्यक्तियों पर कर का भार अनुपातहीन रूप से अधिक पड़ता है। Regressive taxes attempt to reduce the tax incidence of people with higher ability-to-pay, as they shift the incidence disproportionately to those with lower ability-to-pay.
