peer agreement (net): +4basis for calculation Explanation: As in the "assiette" on which income tax, taxe d'habitation, etc. is due. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-03-25 07:58:52 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Response to below: assessment - The method by which a tax authority raises a bill for a particular tax and sends it to the taxpayer or the taxpayer\'s agent. The assessment may be **based on figures already agreed between the authority and the taxpayer** or it may be an estimate by the tax authorities ... [A Dictionary of Finance, Oxford] So an assessment is the amount of money one pays and the means of calculating that amount, based on a (larger) amount serving as the basis for calculation. There may well be a \"proper English noun\" for this, but I don\'t believe it is \"assessment\". |
