Dans le budget de 2007, le gouvernement a actualisé le concept de «bourse de valeurs visée par règlement», qui était appliqué à diverses fins en vertu de la Loi de l'impôt sur le revenu, pour faire en sorte que le processus de prescription soit plus transparent et réponde aux besoins changeants des marchés. Trois catégories de bourses ont remplacé les deux anciennes listes de bourses de valeurs visées par règlement (canadiennes et étrangères) : il s'agit des bourses de valeurs désignées, des bourses de valeur reconnues et des bourses de valeurs. 1, record 1, French, - bourse%20de%20valeurs%20vis%C3%A9e%20par%20r%C3%A8glement

The primary aim of the Tobin Tax, first proposed... by Professor James Tobin..., is to reduce exchange rate volatility. A uniform international tax payable on all spot transactions involving the conversion of one currency into another, in both domestic security markets and foreign exchange markets, the Tobin tax would, in theory, discourage speculation by making currency trading more costly. 1, record 2, English, - Tobin%20Tax

L'économiste James Tobin [...] proposa [...] la création d'une taxe sur les opérations boursières. Il avait formulé, en 1978, l'idée d'un impôt qui serait prélevé sur la circulation internationale des capitaux pour décourager la spéculation financière en la rendant trop onéreuse. Cette imposition, jamais appliquée, concernait surtout les transactions à but spéculatif. 2, record 2, French, - taxe%20Tobin

El nombre de la tasa Tobin, que aparece en las noticias acerca de la aprobación en la Unión Europea de un tributo sobre las transacciones financieras, basado en los planteamientos del economista James Tobin, se escribe con minúscula en la palabra tasa. [...] Además, tanto tasa o impuesto Tobin como tasa Robin Hood son denominaciones ampliamente extendidas para referirse a estos tipos de tributos, por lo que no está justificado en ellas el empleo de las comillas. 1, record 2, Spanish, - tasa%20Tobin
