Usage Note

Progressività is an abstract noun used primarily in tax law: la progressività dell'imposta refers to the principle that higher incomes are taxed at higher rates. The word ends in a stressed -tà (like città, libertà), so its plural is invariable — le progressività. It is rarely used outside fiscal and constitutional discourse.

Examples

"La progressività fiscale è sancita dalla Costituzione."

Natural Translation

Tax progressivity is enshrined in the Constitution.
