Taxes can be classified in three main ways: by their nature, by their impact, and by their administration. By nature, taxes can be direct (levied on income or wealth) or indirect (levied on goods and services). By impact, they can be progressive (higher rates for higher incomes), regressive (lower rates for higher incomes), or proportional (same rate regardless of income). Finally, by administration, taxes can be classified as federal, state, or local, depending on the level of government that imposes them.

Classify tax as to determination of amount?

Taxes can be classified into two main categories based on the determination of amount: fixed taxes and variable taxes. Fixed taxes are set amounts that do not change with the taxpayer's income or circumstances, such as certain property taxes. In contrast, variable taxes, like income taxes, fluctuate based on the taxpayer's earnings and financial situation, meaning the amount owed can vary significantly from one individual to another. This classification helps in understanding how tax burdens are assessed and the equity of the tax system.

Is FICA taxes payable current or long term liability?

FICA taxes, which include Social Security and Medicare taxes, are considered current liabilities. They are typically withheld from employees' wages and are due to be paid to the government within a short period, usually on a payroll schedule. Since they are obligations that arise from current operations and must be settled within the current accounting period, they do not classify as long-term liabilities.
