Dual Income Tax System

This system levies a proportional tax rate on all net income (capital, wage, and pension income less deductions) combined with progressive tax rates on gross labor and pension income.

Environmental Taxes and Taxation Principles

An environmental tax is a tax whose tax base is a physical unit (or a proxy of it) of something that has a proven, specific negative impact on the environment and which is defined in the European System of Accounts (ESA 2010) as a tax.

European statistics distinguish four different categories of environmental taxes relating to energy, transport, pollution and resources; value added tax (VAT) is excluded from the scope of environmental taxes.

Environmental taxes have been increasingly used to influence the behaviour of economic operators, whether producers or consumers. These taxes also generate revenue that can be used by governments to increase expenditure on environmental protection or for the efficient...

Valencia & Portugal: Outdoor Activities and Travel Adventures

My Free Time in Valencia

When I have free time, I usually spend it doing outdoor activities. I go for a walk, cycle, visit a river with my friends, walk on the beach, or enjoy a meal on a terrace.

Valencia is sunny almost every day, and I enjoy doing all these activities outdoors. In summer, because it is too hot, I avoid going out in the morning to very hot places. Instead, I take the opportunity to go to a restaurant, the cinema, or air-conditioned shopping centers.

At night, I go to bed late because the heat makes it difficult to sleep, so I take advantage of the time and go out with my friends for a beer, go to a pub, or do something outdoors.

When I have several days off, I also like to go camping. If I have a few days off, I go to Teruel,... Continue reading "Valencia & Portugal: Outdoor Activities and Travel Adventures" »
