Reading the following text and choose the best answer A, B, C or D
Tax is a compulsory and payable amount that organizations, enterprises and
individuals must pay to the State according to the provisions of law. The primary
function of taxation is, of course, to raise revenue to finance government
expenditure. In addition, taxes have some other functions such as encouraging
investment in certain industries, adjusting the allocation of limited resources; and
controlling supply and demand, production and consumption in the market,
stabilizing prices and controlling inflation, etc…Thus, taxes become an important
macroeconomic regulatory tool.
In most years, the government spends more money than it takes in from tax
revenue. Under increasing spending pressure, to stop the budget deficit from
rising, the Government’s priority is to enhance the efficiency of expenditure
while finding alternative sources of revenue.
2
Improving efficiency is associated with reforms in the State apparatus
operation and payroll, as well as enhancing public investment quality.
Meanwhile, expanding revenue is attracted to broadening the tax base.
However, raising taxes needs to be done cautiously as this affects savings and
reduces investment in production. The higher the tax rate, the more people are
tempted to cheat and thus cause tax losses and lead to market distortion due to
unfair competition practices. For example, self-employed-people 's income is
very difficult to control. Lots of people also have part-time evening jobs, but
they don’t declare to the agency to not pay any tax or national insurance. More
serious is the money laundering of criminal organizations. They tend to pass
money through a series of companies in very complicated transactions in order to
disguise its origin from tax inspectors- and the police. The reported transfer
pricing scheme by foreign-invested enterprises is also an example.
