Контрольные работы проводятся в форме словарных тестов, построенных по одному типу, но проверяющих разные тематические области академической лексики. Пример контрольной работы Словарный тест I. Report the author’s ideas in the following paragraph (in 5-7 sentences): The last core problem of today’s international tax environment stems from the rule that profits should primarily be taxed in source countries. Absent that rule, there would be no point in trying to make profits appear as if they were earned in zero-tax Bermuda. Source-based taxation provokes two types of inefficiencies. First, it causes a wasteful expenditure of resources: multinational companies spend billions of dollars in treaty shopping and transfer pricing (the tax department of General Electric employs close to 1,000 individuals), and when tax authorities devote effort to curb avoidance practices, this in turn triggers even bigger corporate expenses. The end result is that non-tax-haven countries have lower tax revenues and welfare (Slemrod and Wilson 2009). Source-based taxation also gives firms incentives to move real activity—factories, headquarters, and workers—to where taxes are low. While many analysts worry about the costs of tax competition for real investment, the available evidence suggests that artificial profit-shifting has a much larger effect in reducing corporate income tax payments, and thus the focus on this article is on profit-shifting.
