| Poll Tax - Economics Dictionary of Arguments | |||
| Poll tax: A poll tax (or head tax) in economics is a fixed, per-person tax levied on individuals, regardless of their income or wealth. Often considered regressive, it imposes the same tax burden on everyone, which can disproportionately affect lower-income individuals. Poll taxes were historically used to fund government services but have largely been replaced by income or property taxes. See also Taxation, Income tax, Excise tax._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
