2. Tax
A tax (from the Latin taxo) is a mandatory financial charge or
some other typentie of levy imposed upon a taxpayer (an
individual or other legal ty) by a governmental organization in
order to fund various public expenditures.[1] A failure to pay,
along with evasion of or resistance to taxation, is punishable
by law. Taxes consist of direct or indirect taxes and may be
paid in money or as its labour equivalent.
3. Income tax
Annual charge levied on both earned income (wages, salaries, commission) and
unearned income (dividends, interest, rents). In addition to financing a
government's operations, progressive income taxation is designed to distribute
wealth more evenly in a population, and to serve as automatic fiscal stabilizer to
cushion the effects of economic cycles. Its two basic types are (1) Personal
income tax, levied on incomes of individuals, households, partnerships, and sole-
proprietorships; and (2) Corporation income tax, levied on profits (net earnings)
of incorporated firms. However, presence of tax loopholes (whose number
increases in direct proportion to the complexity of tax code) may allow some
wealthy persons to escape higher taxes without violating the letter of the tax
laws.
