flat tax
This term describes a fiscal policy characterized by a proportional tax rate, contrasting sharply with a progressive tax system where the rate increases as income rises. It is frequently discussed in political and economic debates regarding fairness, simplicity, and economic incentive.
In a pragmatic sense, the term is used to advocate for the elimination of complex tax brackets and deductions. Because it is a compound noun referring to a specific systemic concept, it is typically treated as a countable noun when discussing different versions or proposals of such systems.
