Answer: progressive tax—A tax that takes a larger percentage of income from high-income groups than from low-income groups. proportional tax—A tax that takes the same percentage of income from all income groups.

A proportional tax, also referred to as a flat tax, is a tax in which the percentage of tax taken from a person's income remains the same, regardless of how much money he or she earns.
