The correct answer is 'A'.
Explicación
## Step 1A proportional tax, also known as a flat tax, is a tax system where the tax rate remains constant, regardless of the amount of subject-matter value. This means that the tax rate is the same for all taxpayers, regardless of their income level.## Step 2Option A states that a proportional tax is an income tax that takes the same percentage of income regardless of the amount of income earned. This is a correct description of a proportional tax system.## Step 3Option B suggests that a proportional tax is an income tax that becomes increasingly lower for those who live below the national poverty line. This is not correct because a proportional tax system does not vary based on income levels.## Step 4Option C suggests that a proportional tax is an income tax that varies depending on the amount of disposable income within a household. This is not correct because a proportional tax system does not vary based on the amount of disposable income.## Step 5Option D suggests that a proportional tax is an income tax that is higher for households earning relatively high incomes from both spouses. This is not correct because a proportional tax system does not vary based on the income level of the taxpayer.
