单词 poll tax
释义 poll tax

A lump-sum tax levied on every citizen at the same rate regardless of income. A poll tax is necessarily regressive, taking a larger proportion of small incomes than of large ones. The UK Community Charge of 1989-93, though it was labelled ‘the poll tax’ by its critics, was not a true poll tax, as it had exemptions for some citizens and lower rates for some taxpayers taking account of their lower incomes. Because of income inequalities, the total revenue it is possible to raise by a poll tax is very limited.
