Progressive tax rate depends upon the income of the individual. In other words, progressive tax rate increases as income increases. So, higher income group have to pay more taxes as compared to lower income group.

Proportion of tax collected from high income group is more in case of progressive tax rates. In this case, Blade's tax rate is 10% that is 5,000/50,000 and Caden's tax rate is 12% that is 12,000/100,000.

So, tax rate is higher for Caden as compared to rate applicable on Blade's income.

Blade pays tax of $5,000 on taxable income of $50,000 while Caden pays tax of $12,000 on taxable income of $100,000. What type of tax rate structure appears to be in force? a. Regressive$ b. Graduated c. Progressive d. Proportional
