Solution

Indirect taxes or taxes on necessaries are regressive in nature because they take away a larger proportion of lower income as compared to higher income. Therefore, regressive taxes are unjust in nature. They can be made progressive by reducing the rate of indirect taxes on necessary items like food, clothes, shelter etc.
