  • Taxation
CONT

Progressive taxation means higher tax rates for those with higher income or more wealth, so that those who earn or have more are taxed at a higher rate. Personal income tax based on graduated scales where the tax rate goes up as income level rises is probably the clearest example of progressivity.

OBS

progressive; graduated: Increasing in rate with increase in taxable base.

CONT

Tout de suite un exemple : un revenu annuel de 150.000 euros subit un taux d'imposition de 10 %, tandis qu'un revenu annuel de 200.000 euros en subit 15 %. En effet, l'imposition progressive détermine un taux qui augmente au fur et à mesure que l'assiette fiscale s'accroît.
