Taxes are mandatory contributions levied on individuals or corporations by a government entity—whether local, regional, or national.
Tax revenues finance government activities, including public works and services such as roads and schools, or programs such as Social Security and Medicare.
In economics, taxes fall on whoever pays the burden of the tax, whether this is the entity being taxed, such as a business, or the end consumers of the business’s goods.
From an accounting perspective, there are various taxes to consider, including payroll taxes, federal and state income taxes, and sales taxes.
There are several very common types of taxes:
⇒Income tax—a percentage of generated income that is relinquished to the state or federal government
⇒Payroll tax—a percentage withheld from an employee’s pay by an employer, who pays it to the government on the employee’s behalf to fund Medicare and Social Security programs
⇒Corporate tax—a percentage of corporate profits taken as tax by the government to fund federal programs
⇒Sales tax—taxes levied on certain goods and services; varies by jurisdiction
⇒Property tax—based on the value of land and property assets
⇒Tariff—taxes on imported goods; imposed with the aim of strengthening domestic businesses
⇒Estate tax—rate applied to the fair market value (FMV) of property in a person’s estate at the time of death; the total estate must exceed thresholds set by state and federal governments
Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns.
Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called "constituents", and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called "voters".
There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.
