1) When all people pays the same absolute amount to the
government it is regressive because it causes the low-income
earners to pay a higher amount of their incomes in taxes in
comparison to the high-income earners. The average tax rate will be
higher than the marginal tax rate.
2) When all recieves the same absolute amount from the government
it is distributionally neutral because the rate is fixed
irrespective of high, middle and low-income earners
3) When richest 10% of people pay 30% of income tax it will be a
progressive tax because the taxation rate increases as the payer's
income increases. The progressive taxes increase when the income of
a person increases thus helps control spending and acts as
automatic stabilizers. The average tax rate will be lower than the
marginal tax rate.
