What is the difference between Tax and Duty?

✨A question emerged at one of our legal English courses:

What is the difference between Tax and Duty?

➡️Tax is a mandatory obligation payable to the government levied on income, wealth, services, sales etc.

➡️Duty is a fee charged by the government on manufacture and import / export of goods levied on goods and financial transactions.

Duty Tax on Imports and Exports: Meaning and Examples

➡️A duty is a tax levied on certain goods, services, or other transactions. Governments commonly impose customs duties and other taxes on imports and exports. Duties, which are a form of revenue, are enforceable by law and may be imposed on commodities or financial transactions instead of individuals. The term duty also refers to the responsibilities held by an individual, especially someone in a position of power.

➡️A duty is a form of taxation levied on certain goods, services, or other transactions that are imported and exported

➡️Duty rates are a percentage determined by the total value of the goods paid for in another country.

➡️Duties provide a form of commerce protection for jobs, the economy, the environment, and other interests by controlling the influx and outflow of merchandise.

➡️A duty may also be someone’s moral or fiduciary responsibility.

➡️Governments impose taxes on individuals and companies that make or receive shipments internationally. These levies must be paid before delivery can be made. These levies are called customs or import duties. These are tariffs or taxes imposed on goods transported across international borders.

➡️Customs duty rates are a percentage determined by the total value of the goods paid for in another country. The quality, size, or weight of the product are not determining factors.1 The Harmonized Tariff System of the United States is used domestically as a reference for applicable tariffs on merchandise imported to the country.2

LEGAL ENGLISH: What is a covenant?

1 Reply

✨ Quora answers ✨

In its broadest sense, a covenant is a promise, agreement, or contract between two parties. As part of the covenant, the two parties agree that certain activities will or will not be carried out.

Covenants in finance most often relate to terms in a financial contract, such as a loan document or bond issue stating the limits at which the borrower can further lend. Covenants in religion often convey the binding relationship between a deity and humanity.

➡️Covenants are agreements between multiple parties that create a legally binding agreement on how each party is to perform.
➡️Covenants can either promote activity to occur (positive covenant) or disallow an event or condition (negative covenant).
➡️Debt covenants are most common, as they place financial covenants on the borrower and lender as part of the loan agreement.
➡️Covenants are legally binding clauses, and if breached will trigger compensatory or other legal action.
➡️Many sectors like finance, real estate, law, and religion have covenants, though it is used in many different contexts across each group.

Regarding business, covenants are most often represented in terms of financial ratios that must be maintained, such as a maximum debt-to-asset ratio or other such ratios. They cover various aspects, from minimum dividend payments to working capital levels. If a covenant is broken, the lender can call back the obligation or reduce risk. There are two primary types: affirmative and negative covenants, and a third type, financial covenants, sometimes separated into its own category.

Types of Covenants
Different industries and sectors have different types of covenants. In general, it’s pretty common to see both positive and negative covenants across different industries.
➡️Debt Covenants
➡️Property Covenants
➡️Law Covenants
➡️Religious Covenants

Tips For Job Seekers: What Is The Difference Between Blue-Collar And White-Collar Jobs?

1 Reply

“Blue-collar” and “white-collar” jobs are two distinct classifications of employment that differ in terms of the type of labor involved, the work setting and the level of education required.

Blue-collar jobs tend to entail manual labor and working with hands and tools, while white-collar jobs comprise office, administrative and managerial work. Blue-collar work generally occurs in factories, warehouses, outdoors, construction sites and people’s homes, while white-collar workers are stationed at a desk.

The term “blue collar” was first coined in the early 20th century when laborers donned durable fabrics, like blue denim or chambray. The dark color would help disguise the dirt and grease, which were a part of their job.

The term “white collar,” popularized by American novelist Upton Sinclair in the 1930s, refers to the crisp, button-down, white shirts that are worn by business professionals.

Because white-collar jobs have a higher barrier to entry, in terms of education, and earn an annual salary rather than an hourly wage, these roles are often perceived as more prestigious and desirable. However, both categories of workers are integral to the functioning of society and prop up the nation’s economy.

MASTER THE ART OF PRESENTATION: Start with a Villain

2 Replies

Many executives start presentations about products or initiatives with a vague theme statement, often expressed with as much pith as a puff of smoke: “We have a new focus on customer satisfaction,” or “Our current strategic goals are execution and innovation.” But this approach is not only lacking but lackluster. Did Shakespeare begin Hamlet by saying “This is a play about indecision”? Of course not.

Villains in business often aren’t animate. In the mind of the consumer, even mere frustration is a recognizable evil. Or the villain could be a transaction that is incomplete or unsatisfying (anything from a faulty product to cold coffee or warm ice cream). The victim is the customer or the person whose problem you’re trying to solve. And doing so will make your company or team the hero.
This villain-victim-hero framework can be applied across many industries.

Mastering Your Unique Selling Proposition: What It Is, Why You Need One And How To Write Your Own

1 Reply

Topics for our business English classes

It’s tough for all brands to stand out in the market.

People are savvy and take the time to learn about and weigh their choices before making a purchase. If you want to get their business, your brand needs to stand out. Unique selling proposition, or USP, is what a brand says about their product or service that makes it better or different from others on the market. To focus your sales efforts, you need to know what makes your brand different in a market full of brands that are all the same.

It takes work and imagination to figure out what your USP is. Not many brands are truly one-of-a-kind, but the ones that are find a way to show what makes them special and set themselves apart from others. For instance, Apple doesn’t sell tech tools; it sells new ideas. Robinhood is not selling a product for the very rich; it is selling a way for everyone to get rich. Patagonia is selling more than just clothes. They are selling a cause, a way of life, and an effect.

“Based on our interactions, what is one thing that you can tell me about myself that I may not know about myself?”

1 Reply

I asked the AI (Perplexity) the trending question: “Based on our interactions, what is one thing that you can tell me about myself that I may not know about myself?” and these are the answers:

Discovering Hidden Insights
While I don’t have access to personal data or specific interactions, I can help you reflect on aspects of yourself that you might not have considered. Here are a few areas to explore:

1. Strengths in Communication

You may possess a unique ability to articulate your thoughts clearly, which can be a valuable asset in both personal and professional settings. Consider how you express your ideas and whether others often seek your opinion.

2. Resilience in Challenges

You might underestimate your resilience. Reflect on past challenges you’ve faced and how you’ve navigated them. Recognizing your ability to bounce back can empower you in future situations.

3. Curiosity and Learning

Your questions and interests may reveal a deep-seated curiosity. This trait can lead to continuous personal growth and a rich understanding of the world around you.

4. Empathy and Understanding

If you often find yourself tuning into others’ feelings, you might have a strong sense of empathy. This quality can enhance your relationships and make you a supportive friend or colleague.

5. Creative Problem-Solving

You may have a knack for thinking outside the box when faced with obstacles. Consider how you approach problems—your creativity could be a hidden strength.
