Задание № 27. (выберите один вариант ответа).

Прочитайте текст. Определите, является ли утверждение верным:

The main and the most important tax is the income tax.

Tax system in the UK

These are phrases that the average man on the street in the UK never hears, for

although he dislikes the taxman as much as his Russian counterpart, tax, is a more or

less accepted, and more importantly, an automated way of life.

A truly vast amount of the government's money is earned from income tax. and

if people in Britain all avoided paying tax then there would be no roads, no, hospitals,

no police and no country!

There are three main taxes that affect people in Britain. Income tax is when the

government takes a proportion (usually 20%) of your pay, before your boss actually

pays it to you. It is his responsibility to work out the amount of tax and deduct it from

your pay packet and give it to the government.

Income tax in Britain is progressive. That means that the more you earn the

bigger the slice of cake taken by the government is. If you are a well-paid worker, for

example a doctor or solicitor, then you can expect to lose forty percent of your salary

to the taxman. To many people it seems unfair that the most successful members of

society should pay more in tax than others, but in reality it's quite a different matter.

Because a lawyer or businessman can earn a very large income (say, one hundred

thousand pounds a year), then after the amount of tax he or she pays is deducted, they

will still have a very large amount of disposable income to spend on the good things

in life. Compare this state of affairs to a poor nurse who earns about ten thousand

pounds a year. Despite this small amount a nurse still has to pay the basic rate of tax

(the so called minimum), which is twenty percent. This leaves – well, you can work

it: out for yourself, and it is no wonder that there is a chronic shortage of nursing staff

in Britain's hospitals!

The second main tax is VAT, which stands for Value Added Tax. This tax is

levied on most goods and services such as clothes, CDs, cars, etc. This tax effects ev-

eryone in the same way, as we all have to buy clothes to wear, fuel for heating and

electricity to light our homes.

A third tax. but just as important as the others, is Excise Duty. This is a special

tax on tobacco, alcohol and oil. Even if the price for these goods goes up the demand

doesn't change much as people consider them essential for their lives, and so the gov-

ernment can raise a lot of money quickly by raising the excise duty on cigarettes, beer

and wine, and most important!), petrol.

It was this last tax on petrol that led to Britain being brought to a standstill by

angry farmers and lorry drivers in the autumn of 2000. Because of high oil prices

these groups, who depend on transport for their jobs found it difficult to make ends

meet and demanded that the government reduce the tax on petrol. When this failed to

happen they blockaded oil refineries and petrol stations. For more than two weeks it

was impossible to buy petrol. People couldn't get to work, shops couldn't keep sup-

plied, hospitals, and schools found it difficult to stay open. Eventually a settlement

was reached and the blockade was lifted. The episode showed how dependent we all

are on petrol supplies and how close civilization is to the brink of chaos.

Another tricky time for the government was in the late 1980s when they at-

tempted to bring in an individual tax on every person living in the UK. This was the

infamous Poll Tax and predictably people all over the UK rioted and refused to pay.

This was really a repeat of history when the King raised a similar tax in the four-

teenth century. Obviously the rulers of Britain had not learnt by their mistakes.

The story behind the Beatles' song at the beginning of this article is an interest-

ing one. In the 1960s Britain had very high income tax. The richest people: rock stars,

the aristocracy, stockbrokers etc. were taxed at 95%. This made the Beatles very an-

gry and they wrote a song about it. Now the maximum taxation, even for the super-

rich is 40% of income. Do you think this is the right level? What about poor people

like teachers and nurses who have to pay 20% tax, even if they earn hundreds of

thousands of pounds less than financial experts and film stars? Or do rich people de-

serve their money and should not have to pay as much tax as the Beatles did in the

1960s? But the most important question is: how will we continue to pay for schools

and hospitals, roads and policemen if no one wants to pay tax? If the richest people

don't contribute to the government's wallet, how can services be provided for the poor

and needy?

In Britain these questions have yet to be answered.

What is VoIP?

1. Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a new technology that uses broad-

band Internet and network lines to transmit real-time voice information. This technol-

ogy has the potential for completely changing the way phone calls are made and mak-

ing phone companies a thing of the past.

2. To make a phone call on the Internet, several things must happen. On the

sending side, analog voice signals are digitized, compressed, divided into packets and

transmitted over network lines. On the receiving end, the signals are recombined, un-

compressed and converted back into audio. Because the voice signals are digital, they

can be transmitted just Шее any other data packets on a network. VoIP can be rela-

tively inexpensive to implement, although costs rise as the complexity of the system

increases.

3. There are currently several problems with this technology. If the computer or

network lines fail, then telephone service is interrupted. Though the stability of com-

puter hardware, operating systems and network infrastructure has improved signifi-

cantly in the last decade, crashes still occur. The "up" tune of these systems is still

significantly less than with traditional phone systems - which often continue to func-

tion even during power outages. Another issue is that tracking the origin of a call is

difficult because the signals are transmitted over the Internet This is especially impor-

tant to emergency complexity of the system increases.

4. Additionally, devices that make calls using phone lines, such as fax ma-

chines, cable TV boxes, etc. may not function properly. Law enforcement officials

may have difficulty wiretapping phone lines that use VoIP technology. Finally, the

quality of VoIP service is lower than that of a traditional phone system. Since the in-

formation is transmitted over network lines, VoIP phone calls may break up, hesitate,

or cause words to be dropped. All of these issues are being addressed and their signif-

icance should be eliminated over time. (1708)
