Horizontal equity is the principle stating that individuals with similar income and assets should pay the same amount in taxes. It contrasts with vertical equity, which increases tax rates with higher income. Horizontal equity is favored because it is considered a neutral and fair system of taxation. It proposes a tax system that does not give preferential treatment to certain individuals and companies. Achieving horizontal equity can be challenging in practice due to the presence of tax breaks and incentives.
