Concept information

Preferred term

flat tax  

Definition(s)

  • The flat tax is a proposal to replace the current federal income tax code with a simple one-rate tax on all earned income. Instead of a system of progressive rates in which the percentage of tax taken increases as income rises, all income would be taxed at the same rate, 17% in some proposals, and the only deduction allowed would be a personal deduction.
