parafiscal Explanation: for an anglicized invention like this (well I've never heard of it and neither have my dictionaries) why not go for the obvious. The meaning is certainly the same and it couldn't be more concise. No hits in google for parafiskal, but plenty for parafiscal, in all sorts of languages.

parafiscal Explanation: Look at the following excerpt to see if the context matches what you have: http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/en/lif/dat/1969/en_369D0266.htm... “Whereas by Decree No 65-1163 of 24 December 1965 (Official Journal of the French Republic of 31 December 1965) the French Republic introduced, with effect from 1 January 1966, a parafiscal charge for the purpose of encouraging research and the reorganization of production and distribution in the textile industry;” http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/en/lif/dat/1985/en_385D0380.htm... “85/380/EEC: Commission Decision of 5 June 1985 concerning an aid scheme in favour of the textile and clothing industry in France funded by means of parafiscal charges.” http://www.delcredere.be/Ducroire/WebSite.nsf/AllWeb/Ducroir... “Exports generate jobs: Two-thirds of Belgium's GDP is generated by exports. In addition to the positive effects of these exports on our balance of payments, the impact on jobs and fiscal and parafiscal revenues is significant.” http://www.latintrade.com/newsite/content/cprofiles/data-ext... “The Law raised labor costs for employers, so that total costs, including parafiscal, medical insurance and other mandated payments, reached 53 percent over wages.” Fuad See citations above. |
