Доходы товариществ не облагаются налогом на прибыль компаний, участники товарищества включают доходы от его деятельности в свой личный доход, облагаемый подоходным налогом для физических лиц.

Форма товарищества не очень распространена в настоящее время. В основном это – адвокатские конторы, семейные предприятия и т.п. в название товарищества включается фамилия одного или нескольких партнеров, например: Wilson & Sons; Smith & White.

2. Компании с ограниченной ответственностью и совместные предприятия.

Наиболее распространенным типом компаний в Великобритании являются зарегистрированные компании (registered companies), т.е. компании, зарегистрированные в соответствии с Законом о компаниях. Зарегистрированная компания является юридическим лицом о может быть либо открытой компанией с ограниченной ответственностью (Public Limited Company), либо частной компанией (Private Company).

В США акционерная компания с ограниченной ответственностью называется корпорация. После названия корпорации ставятся буквы Inc. После регистрации корпорации в государственном учреждении ей выдается разрешение на создание корпорации (Certificate of Incorporation), после чего компания считается юридическим лицом.

Прибыль корпораций и компаний с ограниченной ответственностью облагается налогом на прибыль. В Великобритании для малых компаний установлены более низкие ставки налога на прибыль.

Если две или более компании или физических лица хотят реализовать совместный проект, то они создают совместное предприятие – Joint Venture. После завершения проекта совместное предприятие обычно распадается.

Unit VII

When going to a business trip you very often have to stay at a hotel. The best way is to reserve a room in advance. When coming to a hotel you must observe some formalities. The desk-clerk will hand you an arrival card which all guests are required to fill in. The following information is required:

• 
  the name (in full) – surname, (first) name, patronymic;
  
• 
  place of permanent registration;
  
• 
  passport number.
  

Once you decide to stay at the hotel you are referred to as a “guest”. You will find notices everywhere reminding guests to leave keys at the desk when going out. All the keys are hung on a special key rack.

In the lobby you will usually find a newspaper stall and stalls where cigarettes and souvenirs are sold. You can also find a special corner or room to write letters. Guests are given a telephone service as well: you may book a trunk- call or reserve railway and airline tickets from your room telephone.

Most of hotels have snack bars and restaurants. Besides there is a coffee-bar and grill-bar downstairs.

The desk-clerk will answer all your questions and give you any information you need. He can also order railway tickets for you or book a ticket for the next boat out.

All hotels run a special laundry service for their guests. You can have your laundry done and your clothes ironed. The maid does your room every morning so you needn’t even make your bed. At the entrance of the hotel there stands a doorman whose duty is opening the door for those who enter or leave the hotel, hailing taxicabs, calling a porter and so on.

Guests are required to notify the clerk in advance about leaving so that he could have the bill ready for them in time.

Hotels in Britain are graded with stars from one-star to five-star. Five-star hotels are the best and most expensive. You can also stay in a Bed & Breakfast (B&B) also called Guest House where you pay for a bedroom and breakfast.

We stayed in the Carlton Hotel for three nights in July, but I booked (=reserved) our rooms three months in advance (=before) because it was the middle of the tourist season. When we arrived we checked in at reception, then the porter carried our suitcases up to the room. I gave him a small tip – about 50 cents, I think. The staff were very friendly – we had a very nice chambermaid (= the woman who cleans the room) – and the room was very comfortable. The only problem we had, in fact, was with the shower which didn’t work very well.

Sometimes in a shop they ask you: “How do you want to pay?” You can answer: “Cash./ By cheque./ By credit card.”

In a bank you usually have a current account. Which is one where you pay in you salary and then withdraw money to pay your everyday bills. The bank sends you a regular bank statement telling you how much money has gone in and out of your account. You may also have a saving account where you deposit any extra money that you have and only take money out when you want to spend it on something special. If you spend more than you have in your account you can have an overdraft. The banc allows you to spend more and charges your interest. If your account is overdrawn (you have taken more out of your account than you had in it) you are in the red.

Sometimes the bank may lend you money – this is called a bank loan. If the bank lends you money to buy a house, that money is called a mortgage.

When you buy something in a shop, you usually pay for it outright but sometimes you buy on credit. Sometimes you may be offered a discount or a reduction on something you buy. For example, you might get ₤10 off perhaps because you are a student. You are often offered a discount if you buy in bulk. It is not usual to haggle about prices in a British shop, as it is in, say, a Turkish market. If you want to return something which you have bought to a shop, you may be given a refund, i.e. your money will be returned, provided you have a receipt.

The money that you pay for services, e.g. to a school or a lawyer, is usually called a fee or fees; the money paid for a journey is a fare. If you buy something that you feel was very good value, it’s a bargain. If you feel that it is definitely not worth what you paid for it, then you can call it a rip-off.

The government collects money from citizens through taxes. Income tax is the tax collected on wages and salaries. Inheritance tax is collected on what people inherit from others. Customs or excise duties have to be paid on goods imported from other countries. VAT or value added tax is a tax paid on most goods and services whet they are bought or purchased. Companies pay corporation tax on their profits. If you pay too much tax, you should be given some money back, a tax rebate.

The government also sometimes pays out money to people in need, e.g. unemployment benefit (dole), disability allowances and student loans (money lent to help pay for studying). Recipients draw a pension/ unemployment benefit or are on the dole or on social security.

Every country has its own special currency. Every day the rates of exchange are published and you can discover, for example, how many dollars there are currently to the pound sterling.

1. What currencies are used in Australia, England, the USA and Russia?

2. What does the expression ‘hard currency’ mean?

3. Give two examples of imports that most countries impose customs duties on.

4. Give three examples of kinds of income that would be classed as unearned.

5. What is the Dow Jones index and what are its equivalents in London and Japan.

6. Give an example of something that is priceless and something that is valueless.

7. Name the coins and banknotes used in your country, in England, in the USA.

1. 
   If you get something more cheaply, perhaps because you buy a bulk, you get a ….. .
   
2. 
   If the bank lends you money, you have a bank ….. .
   
3. 
   If you have some money in your account you are in the ….. .
   
4. 
   I paid too much tax last year so I should get a ….. soon.
   
5. 
   If it’s no good, take it back to the shop and ask for a …

The basic idea of international trade and investment is simple: each country produces goods or services that can be either consumed at home or exported to other countries.

The main difference between domestic trade and international trade is the use of foreign currencies to pay for the goods and services crossing international borders. Although global trade is often added up in US dollars, the trading itself involves various currencies. Japanese CD player is paid for in euros in Berlin, and German cars are paid for in US dollars in Boston. Indian tea, Brazilian coffee, and American films are sold around the world in currencies as diverse as Turkish liras and Mexican pesos.

Whenever a country imports or exports goods and services, there is a resulting flow of funds: money returns to the exporting nation, and money flows out of the importing nation. Trade and investment is a two-way street, and with a minimum of trade barriers, international trade and investment usually makes everyone better off.

In an interlinked global economy, consumers are given opportunities to buy the best products at the best prices. By opening up markets, government allows its citizens to produce and export those things they are best at and to import the rest, choosing from whatever the world has to offer.

Some trade barriers will always exist as long as any two countries have different sets of laws. However, when a country decides to protect its economy by erecting artificial trade barriers, the result is often damaging to everyone, including those people whose barriers were meant to protect.

The Great Depression of the 1930s, for example, spread around the world when the United States decided to erect trade barriers to protect local producers. As other countries retaliated, trade plumped, jobs were lost, and the world entered into a long period of economic decline.
