regresiniai mokesčiai


Definition from Wikipedia:
Regresiniai mokesčiai – mokesčiai, kurie didėjant pajamoms, gaunant didesnį pelną, turint ar įgyjant vertingesnį turtą mažėja.

Example sentence(s):
  • Taikant regresinius mokesčius, didesniu tarifu yra apmokestinamos mažesnės pajamos ir mažesniu – didesnės. - www.moku.lt  
  • Regresiniai mokesčiai - tai tokie mokesčiai, kurie mažėja tuo labiau, kuo daugiau uždirbi. - Pipedia  
  • Tenka priminti, kad pridėtinės vertės ir akcizų mokesčiai yra labai nepalankūs mažiau uždirbantiems. Kiek kartų mažiau uždirbi, tiek kartų tau šie regresiniai mokesčiai brangiau atsieina. - Kauno diena
