Source: The Economist (adapted) Sep 8th 2005
Income tax has been paid in Britain for more than two centuries.
First introduced by William Pitt the Younger to finance the war
against Napoleonic France, it is the Treasurys biggest source of
revenue, raising 30% of tax receipts. It arouses strong political
emotions, regarded as fair by some because it makes the rich pay a
bigger share of their income than the poor, but unfair by others
because it penalizes enterprise and hard work.

a) a commission introduced a flat income tax into Britain.
b) a war once justified the payment of income tax.
c) a flat income tax would be made up of three tax rates.
d) the reform would yield many economic benefits.
e) George Osborne has managed to introduce the single

trying to track capital flight. Privately, economists say the number is much higher. The
statistic is stupid, holds French economist Nicolas Baverez. Its as if, to count
contraband,
you only counted what people declared at the border.
While much of Europe has revised its tax codes, Frances fiscal inertia is virtually
begging
its rich to leave. Holding dear its commitment to galit and fraternit, France has
bucked
the trend in the European Union, where most member states have dropped the wealth
tax
since the mid-1990s. France went the opposite way in 1997 by abolishing a cap that
limited the wealth-tax bill, which kicks in at incomes over 720,000 euros to 85% of a
taxpayers income. The result: some pay more taxes than they earn in income.

In November the value of exports fell by 27% year on year. The
picture only worsened in December with a year-on-year fall of
35%. Recession in the United States was the main cause, with
exports there down by 36.9% from a year earlier. In turn, the
global slump has also knocked supply chains in Asia, sending
Japans exports to China down by 35.5% in December, with
exports to Asias tigers (Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea
and Taiwan) falling by even more than those to America.

US tax evasion probe extends to Singapore (2002)
The fact the taxman is going to this extent may seem astonishing to
Singaporeans. But it makes sense when you realize that all income earned
by US citizens is taxable, whether it is held locally or in other countries. The
information, which the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) hopes will stem
the loss of between US$20 billion and US$40 billion each year in tax
revenues, is being sought from MasterCard International. This is because
offshore bank account holders often use credit cards issued by
MasterCard, Visa, American Express and other payment specialists to gain
access to their funds from the US.
27- The expression to stem the loss means to
a) stop it.
b) bring it about.
c) sum it up.
