ZERO BOND: Also termed a zero coupon bond, a bond that does not pay interest, in which the return is generated by the difference between the purchase price and the face value paid at maturity. Because they do not pay interest, zero bonds are sold at a discount. For example, a $10,000 zero bond that matures in one year, would generate a 10% return if it sold at a discount of $9,000.

A taxation principle stating that taxes should be based on the ability to pay taxes.

This is one of two taxation principles. The other is the benefit principle, which states taxes should be based on the benefits received.
