A credit that is deducted from the income tax that an individual or corporation would otherwise pay. 3, record 1, English, - tax%20credit
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
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

Les grains, après avoir été récoltés et battus, se trouvent en général menés à leurs balles, à des semences d'herbes parasites, à de la terre, etc. Pour les nettoyer et les débarrasser de ces corps étrangers, on a recours au vannage qui consiste à les soumettre à l'action d'un fort courant d'air; celui-ci entraîne les corps plus légers auxquels les grains sont mélangés. L'opération du vannage se fait généralement avec un tarare. 3, record 2, French, - vannage
