From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. To tax (from the Latin taxo; "I estimate", which in turn is from tangō; "I touch") is to impose a financial charge or other levy upon a taxpayer (an individual or legal entity) by a state or the functional equivalent of a state such that failure to pay is punishable by law. Taxes are also imposed by many subnational entities. Taxes consist of direct tax or indirect tax, and may be paid in money or as its labour equivalent (often but not always unpaid). A tax may be defined as a "pecuniary burden laid upon individuals or property owners to support the government […] a payment exacted by legislative authority." A tax "is not a voluntary payment or donation, but an enforced contribution, exacted pursuant to legislative authority" and is "any contribution imposed by government […] whether under the name of toll, tribute, tallage, gabel, impost, duty, custom, excise, subsidy, aid, supply, or other name." In modern taxation systems, taxes are levied in money, but in-kind and corvée taxation are characteristic of traditional or pre-capitalist states and their functional equivalents. The method of taxation and the government expenditure of taxes raised is often highly debated in politics and economics. Tax collection is performed by a government agency such as Canada Revenue Agency, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States, or Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) in the UK. When taxes are not fully paid, civil penalties (such as fines or forfeiture) or criminal penalties (such as incarceration) may be imposed on the non-paying entity or individual.

Answered by remoive me from answers - Tue Nov 10 06:47:53 2009 Can anyone give me information on double taxation agreements between France and the UK?
Q. I work at a University and we have some visiting researchers coming over for 4 x two weekly periods to engage in research. They will be being paid their salary by the company in France but I wanted to know whether we should tax them as according to my interpretation of Article 21 of the double taxation agreement, they should not pay tax in the UK. I would appreciate any guidance on this as I am not sure if we are following the correct procedure. Thanks in advance. Asked by Kerry C - Thu Mar 1 11:51:48 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. If the university is not paying them to conduct any research then I'm not quite sure why you believe that that you have any reason to deduct PAYE from them - there is no income payable to them by your institution for to make deductions from. Article 21, in my opinion, is irrelevant. If you were the conduit through which the payments are made, if Article 21 did not exist then you would. I believe your interpretation is correct, but to be 100% I would contact the tax office responsible for your universities Payroll. Ask to speak to an Inspector directly - call handlers will not be able to deal with this query.
