Current tax system uses aggregate rate on income, that's why we have different tax brackets. The more money you make, you pay a higher RATE, (not just a higher amount with the same rate).
Flat rate tax system charge everyone the same percentage, regardless how much the tax basis is.
Value-added use a certain rate for tax calculation, but allow you to deduct the tax you paid (say material), so as a result, you are only paying tax for the part where value is "added". For example, you buy metal wires at $2 each, you twist them into funny shapes and sells them for $3 each, Value-added system just tax on the value added portion, $3-$2=$1.
Of course there are a lot more rules on each to make them as confusing as they are, but these are the basics.
