راجعانہ محصول


Definition from own experience or research:
راجعانہ لفظ "رجعت" سے نکلا ہے جس کے معانی واپس لوٹنے یا کم ہونے کے ہیں۔ کیونکہ یہ ٹیکس آمدنی کے بڑھنے کے ساتھ ساتھ کم ہوتا رہتا ہے اس لئے اسے "راجعانہ محصول" کا نام دیا ہے۔

Example sentence(s):
  • سیلز ٹیکس راجعانہ محصول کی سب سے بڑی مثال ہے۔ - None
