La personne qui supporte la charge juridique de l'impôt est le contribuable. Elle n’ en supporte certes pas toujours la charge économique étant donné le phénomène de la répercussion qui reporte souvent sur d’autres le poids économique de l'impôt. Aussi parfois pour souligner le fait que celui au nom de qui l'impôt a été établi peut en répercuter la charge sur d’autres, le désigne-t-on non pas sous le nom de contribuable, mais sous le nom d’assujetti. C'est le cas pour la taxe sur la valeur ajoutée. Mais à côté du contribuable ou de l'assujetti, au nom de qui l'impôt a été juridiquement établi, il y a aussi le redevable qui est la personne à laquelle le fisc peut demander le paiement de l'imposition bien qu'il n’ ait pas été établi à son nom. En principe, c'est le contribuable qui doit payer personnellement l'impôt : le contribuable est en même temps redevable et la distinction des deux notions ne présente pas d’intérêt. 3, record 5, French, - contribuable
