Read and translate the text:
Taxation is used to finance government expenditure. It represents a transfer of income from individuals, groups and organizations to the government.
We can define “direct” and “indirect” taxation. Anyone paying direct tax (e.g. income tax) cannot shift this liability into others. Taxes on goods are traditionally regarded as “indirect”. Corporation and individual income taxes are direct; value-added taxes, sales taxes, and import and excise duties are indirect taxes.
Income tax is usually paid at source. Employers compute, deduct and remit the tax to be paid on their employees’ earnings.
Corporation tax, a tax on the income of companies is a major source of fiscal revenue. Corporation income taxes vary among the countries. Less developed countries usually have lower corporation tax rates in order to attract foreign investment.
Sales taxes and excise duties are the best known examples of indirect taxes. Excise duties are levied on particular commodities, e.g. tobacco, alcohol, petrol, while sales taxes apply to a broad range of goods and services. Sales taxes are charged on top of excise duties.
The best known kind of sales tax, value added tax (VAT) has won recognition in the European Common Market. This is a national sales tax levied at each stage of production or at the sale of consumer goods. In most cases, food items have been exempted from this tax. VAD is easy to calculate and collect.
