taxable income rises.

C. Marginal tax rate

, D. Incremental tax rate - B - The average tax rate is the tax due divided by TAXABLE
income. The effective tax rate is the tax due divided by TOTAL income. Marginal tax
rate is like incremental tax rate in that it is based on the taxation on each additional
dollar of income.

interest, life insurance proceeds, etc.

economy, certainty, equity, and convenience.
