It differs from a tax deduction, which is subtracted from a person's or a corporation's total income, thus lowering the taxable income against which income tax is levied. The value of the tax deduction for an individual depends on the level of income. The higher the income, the higher the top marginal rate of tax, and the greater the value of the tax deduction. In the case of a tax credit, however, the value is the same to all recipients, since it is deducted from the actual tax they would otherwise pay. The tax credit is considered a preferable way of extending benefits to individuals since it gives all recipients the same amount of money, while a tax deduction gives a greater benefit to people with high incomes. Moreover, a tax credit can be paid to people whose income is too low to require them to pay taxes, under a system of negative income tax, whereas a tax deduction can only benefit people who have taxable income. 3, record 1, English, - tax%20credit

Canada's climate change plan calls for a 55 million tonne(Mt) cap on Large Final Emitters and the creation of a carbon offset trading system to achieve these levels. A target price of $15 has been set as the maximum that industry will have to pay to offset one tonne of carbon.... All Canadian companies will have the opportunity to capitalize on reducing carbon emissions starting in 2008, but the credit process and eventual market potential are still unclear. As the system unfolds, it will be important for Large Final Emitters and other companies or individuals to maximize their potential gain.... If companies are able to achieve improve efficiency and share best practices by looking for ways to reduce emissions and trade credits, then the market should expand. Likewise, if firms see a social benefit from minimizing their climate footprint, they will be encouraged to continue. 2, record 3, English, - Carbon%20Offset%20Trading%20System

Ce système veut que les grandes entreprises vendent des parts de pollution aux petites entreprises qui ne pourraient pas survivre autrement ce qui forcerait en même temps les grandes entreprises à investir dans des solutions antipollution pour compenser pour les crédits vendues.

Purge & recreate-Adjustments to Active claims through a manual process. P & R has two important roles to play in the E. I. Benefit Pay process. First, by purging and recreating, it assists in maintaining the BNOP Master file on request. Second, P & R converts Claims from the Manual Pay System to the Computer Pay System. Every claim recreated or converted produces a CPSR [Claimant's Pay Status Report]. Purge and Recreate utilises Week Codes for processing as opposed to calendar dates. A number of files and reports carry these Week-Codes and comparisons are made on Week Code values. 1, record 5, English, - benefit%20pay%20%2D%20PR

Épuration et reconstitution - Rajustements apportés aux demandes actives par procédé manuel. L'ER joue deux rôles importants dans le cadre du processus de paiement des prestations d'assurance-emploi. Premièrement, l'épuration et la reconstitution des données permet de tenir à jour le Fichier principal des prestations et des trop-payés sur demande. Deuxièmement, ce processus permet de transférer les demandes du Système manuel de paiement au Système automatisé de paiement. Chaque demande reconstituée ou convertie donne lieu à un relevé des paiements versés à un prestataire. La fonction d'épuration et de reconstitution utilise les codes hebdomadaires plutôt que les dates du calendrier. Bon nombre de dossiers et de rapports portent ces codes hebdomadaires et les comparaisons sont faites à partir de ces valeurs. 1, record 5, French, - paiement%20des%20prestations%20%2D%20ER
