What is the structure of the drug – is it a chemical or a protein. Provide a diagram showing the structure of the drug and if available, show how the drug interacts with its target.
Taxation Assessment 1
A report on the reform of UK taxation was commissioned by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS). The report was written by leading public finance economists, led by a Nobel Prize-winning Cambridge professor James Mirrlees. The report, published in 2012, takes a broad view of taxation taking into account the vast research which has been done in the area of public finance and taxation..
Small Business Taxation by Claire Crawford and Judith Freedman forms Chapter 11of this report. This chapter deals with aspects of individual taxation which are readily apparent to tax practitioners.
