Abstract:
While most of the nations are under the progressive tax system, in which rich people pay a proportionately greater amount of tax than the poorer sections, the Baltic nations of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and others like Russia and Hong Kong seem to be thriving under the flat-rate tax regime. Motivated by the successful implementation of the flat-rate tax system, many countries, like Sweden, Poland, the Czech Republic, and the UK have been eliberating on whether or not to experiment with the newer tax structure and whether it would be as effective in their economies as in the Baltic and other nations.

Pedagogical Objectives:

  • To compare the progressive and flat tax structures
  • To discuss the impact of flat rate of tax on the capitalistic economies like the US and Canada.
