T-money and Cashbee are transportation cards that can be used on public buses and subways in several different metropolitan cities and locations throughout the nation. With this transportation card, travelers can save the hassle of purchasing single journey subway tickets for every ride and enjoy discounts on rides during transfers from one bus to another, one subway line to another, or from bus to subway or vice versa (within a transfer time limit). Convenience stores (GS25, CU, 7-Eleven, Ministop, With Me, Buy The Way, Story Way, etc.) bearing the T-money or Cashbee logo in areas of use are listed above. When used with public transportation in Seoul, transfer discounts are available. The number of discounts is limited to four times a day, within a transfer time limit of 30 minutes (up to 1 hour from 21:00 to 07:00 next day). However, the transfer discount will not apply if transferring to the same numbered bus or re-entering the same subway station within 30 minutes. In addition, if you do not tap your card on the sensors as you get off the bus, you will not be able to benefit from the transfer discount. City Bus. Buses in Seoul are classified by color to designate the type of bus: blue buses travel on major roads and run for relatively long distances through Seoul; green buses travel shorter distances and carry travelers between transfer points such as subway stations and longer bus routes; red buses are express buses that travel from Seoul to suburban areas; yellow buses operate on a closed circuit within a district of Seoul. Bus fare can be paid either by cash or transportation card when boarding. If using a transportation card, passengers can get a transfer discount when changing to the subway system or another bus line. To receive the discount, be sure to tap your card on the card reader by the exit doors before getting off the bus. Riders paying with cash cannot get the transfer discount so we highly recommend using a transportation card. Subway. Seoul has nine major subway lines that run all throughout the city and even go into the suburbs and surrounding areas. It is a great system: the trains come about every 5 minutes and are well kept. As an added convenience, the signs are in both Korean and English.

Between 2010 and 2015, total spending on food is expected to increase over 20 percent. With over 50 percent of the population concentrated within a 60 mile radius of the capital city of Seoul, that region accounts for over 70 percent of the retail spending in the country. Despite the limited volume of domestic agriculture, Koreans favor locally grown and manufactured foods and are willing to pay a premium for domestic goods. A wide variety of agricultural products are grown or processed locally, including rice, fresh and processed vegetables, fruits, seafood and meats, eggs, dairy products, noodles, sauces, oils, grain "our, beverages, snacks, confections, and liquor. Unlike other sectors of the Korean economy, there is not a focus on exporting in Korean agriculture, and, in general, government policies favor domestic agriculture.

  • International Finance and Tax Avoidance Via Dutch Special Purpose Entities
    International finance and tax avoidance via Dutch Special Purpose Entities Francis Weyzig ([email protected]) Paper for presentation at research , seminar Radboud University Nijmegen, 21 October 2013 Abstract Many large firms use Dutch Special Purpose Entities (SPEs) to avoid corporate taxes. This paper shows that Dutch SPEs mainly pass on equity and loans to foreign affiliates, sometimes combined with debt issuance. These structures facilitate avoidance of withholding taxes, particularly in specific developing and EU countries, including Indonesia, the Philippines, Ghana, Mongolia, Portugal, and Spain. Dutch SPEs also facilitate profit shifting through royalty payments. Tax avoidance via SPE structures has major implications for international tax policy. Countries could respond by adjusting withholding taxes unilaterally, improving anti-avoidance measures, or renegotiating certain tax treaties. Introduction Developing countries require sustainable sources of finance for development. Most countries will need to increase domestic tax revenues to gradually replace aid and debt as sources of finance for public goods and services (OECD & AfDB, 2010; UNCTAD, 2010). For low income countries, this need is often reinforced by the loss of tariff revenues due to trade liberalisation (Braunsgaard & Keen, 2005; Khattry & Mohan Rao, 2002). In the EU, raising tax revenues is a priority as well, but for different reasons. Various EU countries are faced with unsustainable fiscal deficits, because their public debt and borrowing costs increased sharply as a consequence of the financial crisis. In developing countries, donor support to strengthen tax systems mainly addresses domestic constraints, such as administrative capacity (OECD, 2012b). However, international constraints are important as well. These include illicit capital flight and evasion of personal income tax on assets held offshore (Ndikumana & Boyce, 2008; UNCTAD, 2010) and transfer pricing abuses and international tax arbitrage by multinationals (Lesage et al., 2010; OECD & AfDB, 2010).

Growth of the sector was mainly fueled by expansion of modern, large-scale retail businesses, which reflect evolving tastes and increased wealth of Korean consumers.
