Income in a single year is a very poor guide to income and wealth over even a few years, much less a lifetime; in the longer run, a tax on what people spend is therefore not much different than a tax on their income.
(A) than a tax on their income
(B) from a tax on what they earn
(C) than taxing income
(D) from the income tax
(E) than a tax on what people earn
which one is a correct idiom......

'different from' is the correct idiom.
so eliminate A, C and E
now between B and D, look for parallelism
D makes a major blunder in that front.tax on money spent is compared to income tax. which is wrong

So B is my answer.

B

as different from should be used
and the parallelism is the second criteria to select B
