A progressive income tax system is a tax that is applied to the incomes of members of an economy at different rates, with people who make more money paying taxes at a higher rate. For example, under such as system, a person who makes $50,000 might pay 20 percent in income taxes, while a person who makes $100,000 may pay 40 percent. The progressive tax system means that people with higher taxable incomes are subject to higher federal income tax rates, and people with lower taxable incomes are subject to lower federal income Taxes on Director's fee, Consultation fees and All Other Income. From YA 2017, the tax rates for non-resident individuals (except certain reduced final withholding tax rates) has been raised from 20% to 22%. This is to maintain parity between the tax rates of non-resident individuals and the top marginal tax rate of resident individuals.
