English term or phrase: lump-sum tax
Definition from The Economist:
A tax that is the same amount for everybody, regardless of income or wealth. Some economists argue that this is the most efficient form of TAXATION, as it does not distort incentives and thus it has no DEADWEIGHT COST. This is because each person knows that whatever they do they will have to pay the same amount. It is also cheap to administer, as there is no complex process of measuring each person's INCOME and ASSETS in order to calculate their tax bill.

Example sentence(s):
  • The lump-sum tax system is superior if there are no errors in classifying individuals but, when enough mistakes are made, income taxation may be the preferred system. Science Direct
  • Iowa lump-sum tax applies only if federal form 4972 was used to compute the federal tax on any portion of the lump-sum distribution. Iowa Department of Revenue
  • The lump-sum tax is calculated upon the annual expenses borne by the applicant individual considering his or her standard of living, as well as by those people he or she takes care of. These expenses represent the taxable base for the computation of the tax due. modaq

impuesto fijo


Definition from Ejemplo de uso::
O "a tanto alzado", o "de suma fija"... En cualquier caso creo que "igualitario" parecería significar lo contrario: que tiende a la igualdad (véase el DLE).

  • Así, la implementación de cualquier forma de imposición distinta del impuesto uniforme de suma fija (lump-sum tax) surge del hecho de contemplar individuos con diferentes gustos y dotaciones. - aaep  
  • Un impuesto de suma fija es un impuesto que es una cantidad fija, sin importar el cambio en las circunstancias de la entidad gravada. (Una subvención de suma fija o de una sola redistribución se define de manera similar.)[1] - linkfang
