누진세

Definition from 위키백과 :
누진세는 소득이 높을수록 소득의 더 높은 비율을 내게 되는 세금이다. 이것은 일반적으로 소득세에 적용된다. 누진세의 반대개념이 역진세(regressive tax)이다.

Example sentence(s):

中 전기세 '누진세' 도입한다 중국이 조만간 전기세에 누진세를 적용할 것으로 보인다. 전기사용량에 단계를 구분해 각 단계별로 점차 높은 세율을 적용해가는 누진세를 도입할 방침이다. 최근 중국발전개혁위원회는 “주민용 전기세가 불공평한 제도 때문에 낭비가 심각하다”며 “기본생활 보장에 필요한 용량, 정상 가정생활에 필요한 용량, 과다 사용 등 3단계로 나누어 단계별 요금제를 적용할 방침”이라고 전했다. - 상하이저널
누진세가 처음 언급된 것이 언제인지는 모르겠지만 꽤 오래된 개념임에는 틀림없다. 신자유주의도 그 뿌리를 같이하는 시장주의의 시조격이라고 할 수 있는 아담 스미스. '보이지 않는 손'이라는 시장만능주의라 볼 수 있는 주장을 했던 그조차도 누진세(progressive tax )에 대해서 체제를 유지하기 위해 당연한 제도라 평했다. - 블로그
