Texas Vehicle Registration What Does It Look Like

Specific tax: The current nightmare for the Chileans.

would be interesting someone to answer the questions of concern, rather annoying to the Chileans and for which I have not read any response yet.

1. Why in the last decade, this tax has tripled?. When created in 1990 its value was 2.58 UTM per cubic meter (1,000 liters), currently is 6.00 UTM.

2. "This tax funds highways and roads?. The reason why you think this tax to finance the modernization of road infrastructure has no legitimacy. Today, individuals pay to use toll roads whose construction is financed also by individuals. And in regions far from Santiago, the modernization of roads: primary, secondary and rural areas is very slow.

3. Is there discrimination between a person who lives in Santiago and other regions living in?. In some parts of the country gasoline exceeds the $ 700 barrier and for them is still an arduous task to move from one sector to another. (See the status of Cape Horn).

4. "The arrangement of streets is also funded with the same tax? Then why there is a registration certificate?.

5. What percentage the price paid per liter of gasoline, goes in taxes?. On the one hand there is the excise tax on gasoline which is 6 per cubic meter UTM: for every liter of petrol to charge about $ 191 per liter is to fund this tax. If motorists also add the value added tax (VAT), realizes that the total amount paid for a liter of gasoline, 42%, will give the treasury.

6. Was not a tax "transitional"? . While the creation of this tax was due to a specific event (reconstruction after the earthquake of 1985). What nobody has explained is that once a tax is installed is very difficult to remove, and that over time, this tribute has become an important collector and removing the lower government revenues should be raised by another concept. Unless spending is reduced. Difficult, no?.

7. Is this additional tax is to protect us from contamination? So what happens to the tax on oil used in public transport is 1.5 UTM per m3. Is not the oil more polluting than gasoline. Do not encourage this lower oil tax to assess, at the time of self-change the option to purchase a diesel. As a result, is not would be even more damaging air quality?.

8. Or the aim today is to decongest streets that tax?. "discouraging car use?. In Santiago necessary! .... But why the rest of the country is a priority?.

Just one question:

to lower gasoline taxes, where do you get the state income perceived by that concept?, "Increase the corporate tax? , "create a new one? or maybe, cut spending tax?.

Germany 2006: Farewell to the fanaticism ... Italy should be the champion. The world upside

Although my favorite to win this World Cup is Argentina, I'm in a contradiction between what he tells me the reason and what I dictate feelings. And they immediately explain why. A study by ABN Amro and recently published - Soccernomics 2006 - reveals that Italy is the country suited to win the World Cup, and that his victory would lead to a positive growth the global economy. To think is not it?.

And the favorite of those economists are not on the side of bigotry, nor the technical football, even for nationalism (obviously, if so had pointed to by the Netherlands to champion), but rely on the economic outlook. The study reveals that if Italy manages to devote the best in the world for the fourth time in history, the benefits for the global economy will be important.

The sound-wave factor

The influence of football and especially a World Cup on people no less. A favorable action of the national team in the field, increases the confidence of the fans. Happier citizens, are consumers likely to spend more. Resulting in more trips to the supermarket, more barbecues (or its equivalent in the respective country), purchases of souvenirs (T-shirts, flags, badges etc ....) Before, during and after the victory.

The study demonstrates. Economic growth in those countries that win the World Cup tends to be much better during the World Cup the country that loses the final. "The winner enjoys an additional average growth of 0.7%, while the finalists suffered a loss in GDP (Gross Domestic Product) 0.3%, compared with the previous year.

Now if we add that the winner of the cup also have played a greater number of matches and that the psychological impact of a positive environment is spread, we ready. He started to run the multiplier effect of the economy and rising confidence indices.

Europeans take it

To choose your winner, the Dutch bank had considered a number of criteria. Among them, the champion nation should be European. And Why Europe? will ask you.

The point that led economists to a conclusion like this is the imbalance that exists today in the world economy, especially beaten by current account deficit (imports greater than exports) U.S.. A dangerous gap that has persisted since the time it has been of substantial size and is the U.S.: the economy of greater weight in the world.

While economic growth in the U.S., Asia and Latin America has been high in recent years Europe has been delayed. So if the U.S. won the imbalance would be greater, an Asian victory could lead to overheating of the region and the success of a Latin American country not help to ease the economic problems and global imbalances.

So, which is Europe must grow economically. Increased internal demanad the continent, would attract investors and foreign goods, easing the current desequelibrio. And one possible way to accelerate that change, is that one of the major countries of the region to win the World Cup.

But, why Italy?

Italians can create more opportunities if they win the tournament to another European country. The reason is that the Italian economy is hampered by an inflexible labor market, ie a hard time generating new jobs, and present a very poor competitiveness.

A victory of Italy at the World Food greater confidence in consumers and producers, leading to increased spending and investment. Global positive impact that would also hand the recognition of their products, highly favorable element for Italian industry sees as its production and manufacturing has been shrinking since 2001. Open the door to establish business relationships and get investors, prompting the government to introduce new economic reforms, now take place very slowly.

In simple words: must earn an economy large enough to be noticeable impact on the rest of the world and should win an economy that actually benefits from the impact, ie, that economically it is well to with positive impact on take-off impulse.
