Solution
| Progressive Taxation | Proportional Taxation |
| When the rate of tax rises as the taxpayer's income rises, the tax is said to be progressive. | A proportionate tax is one in which the tax rate remains constant regardless of income fluctuations. |
| High-income groups are taxed more heavily under this system, and vice versa. | This method of taxation applies the same percentage of tax to all income classes. |
| Examples: Flat income tax of 10% across all income levels. |
Examples: Income tax where 10% is charged on income up to ₹ 5 lakhs, 20% on ₹ 5-10 lakhs, and 30% above ₹ 10 lakhs. |
