?? Models for progressive or flat-rate income tax systems in KSA and Dubai

Imagine a seesaw. On one side, we have progressive taxation, where higher earners contribute a larger percentage of their income. On the other side, there's the flat-rate system, where everyone pays the same percentage, regardless of their earnings. KSA and Dubai, currently without personal income taxes, are exploring these models as they diversify revenue streams.

?? Weighing the Options

Each system has its pros and cons. Progressive taxation can generate substantial revenue for social welfare programs and reduce income inequality. However, it can disincentivize high earners. Flat-rate systems are simple and may attract investment but can disproportionately impact lower-income individuals.

?? Finding the Right Balance for KSA and Dubai

Choosing the optimal income tax model depends on specific economic and social objectives. Factors to consider include income distribution, government spending priorities, and potential impact on investment and economic growth.
