Definition from Pusat Rujukan Persuratan Melayu:
PROGRESSIVE TAX = CUKAI PROGRESIF
A progressive tax is a tax where the tax rate increases as the taxable base amount increases.

Example sentence(s):
  • The opposite of a progressive tax is a regressive tax, where the relative tax rate or burden increases as an individual's ability to pay it decreases. - Wikipedia  
  • In most progressive tax systems, both rates will rise as amount subject to taxation rises, though there may be ranges where the marginal rate will be constant. - Wikipedia
