Definition from own experience or research:
Regresīvs nodoklis ir nodoklis, par kuru iedzīvotāji ar maziem ienākumiem atdod daudz lielāku daļu savu ienākumu, nekā iedzīvotāji ar lieliem ienākumiem.

Example sentence(s):
  • Iedzīvotāju ienākuma nodoklis kā ienākuma pārdales mehānisms var būt proporcionāls, progresīvs un regresīvs. - Latvijas Vēstnesis  
  • Proti, ka šis jautājums par regresīvu nodokļu likmi, kura šobrīd tiek noteikta ar iedzīvotāju ienākuma nodokļa likumu, ir tiešām, Počas kundze, filozofisks jautājums. [..] Latvija ir vienīgā valsts, vēl ir arī Kaimanu salas, kur pastāv regresīvs iedzīvotāju ienākumu nodoklis. Tad, kad man iznāk runāt ar teorētiķiem, ar profesoriem, ar ekonomikas profesoriem no ārzemēm un kad man viņiem ir jāsaka, ka mūsu valstī ir regresīvs iedzīvotāju ienākuma nodoklis, tad viņi saka: "Zini, uzliec šito uz papīra un atsūti man ar vēstuli, ko es ielikšu savā teorijas grāmatā iekšā, jo man līdz šim nebija neviens piemērs, kur pasaulē iedzīvotāju ienākuma nodoklis ir regresīvs." - Latvijas Vēstnesis
