A Capitation Tax is a fixed amount of money that each individual is required to pay, regardless of their income or wealth. This type of tax is often levied by governments to fund public services and infrastructure. The amount remains the same for everyone, making it a straightforward way to collect revenue. Historically, capitation taxes have been used in various societies, including during the reign of King Henry VIII in England. While they can simplify tax collection, critics argue that capitation taxes can disproportionately burden low-income individuals, as they pay the same amount as wealthier citizens.
