Which of the following is NOT a type of tax?

The selection of "C. Salaried tax" aligns with the concept of tax classifications, as it is not recognized as a distinct category of tax. Instead, taxes are generally classified into several recognized types, including progressive taxes, proportional taxes, and indirect taxes.

Progressive taxes are structured so that individuals with higher income levels pay a larger percentage of their income in taxes compared to those with lower incomes. This type of tax system aims to reduce income inequality by imposing higher tax rates on higher earnings.

Proportional taxes, on the other hand, apply the same tax rate regardless of income level, meaning that all taxpayers contribute at the same percentage flat rate. This system contrasts with progressive taxation, as it does not increase the tax rate with higher income.

Indirect taxes, such as sales tax or value-added tax (VAT), are levied on goods and services rather than directly on income or profits. These taxes are typically included in the purchase price and paid by consumers, with businesses collecting and remitting them to the government.

In contrast, "salaried tax" does not represent a specific category of taxation. While individuals with salaries may be subject to various types of taxes (like income tax), the term itself does not define a formal tax classification in
