Lump-sum tax

A lump-sum tax is a type of tax where a fixed amount of money is collected from people. This amount is usually the same for everyone, regardless of their income or wealth. For example, everyone in a specific country might be required to pay a lump-sum tax of $1000 each year. This means that everyone has to pay $1000, no matter how much or how little money they make.
