There are several synonyms for this term, including progressive tax, income tax, and graded tax. A progressive tax system is designed to improve income distribution by ensuring that those who earn more contribute a higher percentage of their income towards taxes. Income tax refers to a direct tax imposed on the income earned by individuals.
