Progressive Tax:

The progressive tax system is commonly used throughout the world and to the average consumer is seen as "fair". In one way it may seem as a pro to the government as the more wealthy individuals there are in a society the higher the revenue of income tax. Although, this may be true, some arguments against this tax system are that it encourages the wealthy to immigrate to a country where the tax rate for high-net-worth individuals is lower and it also discourages individuals to work to gain higher incomes.

Regressive Tax:

Few countries around the world employ the Regressive tax system. Regressive tax systems are favored by those who make a large income because a small proportion of their income is taxed. It is an incentive for many high net worth individuals. From a government point of view, the wealthy individuals have more disposable income to invest within the economy namely capital goods which in turn would stimulate it. On the other hand, those who make moderate or lower incomes have to pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes. A disincentive for low income earners.
