Pathfinder : Taxation

Definition and Scope Note:

Here are entered works on the compulsory transfer, usually of money, from the private sector to the government, for public purposes. 
[Quoted from http://www.anz.com/edna/dictionary.asp?action=content&content=taxation]. Library holdings dated from 1985-2010 were included in this pathfinder.

Taxation is the act of laying a tax, or of imposing taxes, as on the subjects of a state, by government, or on the members of a corporation or company, by the proper authority; the raising of revenue; also, a system of raising revenue. [Source: http://www.brainyquote.com/words/ta/taxation228398.html?footerdropdownmenu2=]

Taxation is defined as a fee charged by a government on a product, income, or activity. If tax is imposed directly on personal or corporate income, then it is a direct tax. If it is imposed on the price of a good or service, then it is called an indirect tax. The purpose of taxation is to finance government expenditures. In some cases taxes must be paid to at least four different levels of government. [Source: http://www.investorwords.com/4879/tax.html]
