A sole proprietorship is a form of business organization owned and operated by one person. Sole proprietorships are the most numerous kind of business organization, but most of them are very small. Sole proprietors own all the profits of their enterprises, and they are “own bosses”. They don’t have to pay the special taxes placed on corporations. Among sole proprietors are farmers, professional men, small storekeepers and small manufacturers.

The greatest disadvantage of a sole proprietorship is unlimited liability that each proprietor faces. Liability refers to legal obligations to pay for debts or damages. Other disadvantages may include lack of opportunities for employees, limitations of size and growth and lack of management resources.



A partnership is a form of business organization that is owned and run by two or more persons. Partnerships are easy to form, relatively small to control and often get tax benefits from the government. Partnerships are not subject to special taxation. Partnerships can be found in such professional fields as medicine, law, accounting, insurance.

In many cases partnerships have unlimited liability. Each partner is both jointly or separately responsible for all the debts of their business. If the business fails, its creditors have the right to recover their money from any, or all, of the partners.



A corporation is a form of business organization created under a government charter.

A corporation may issue and sell stock certificates. A person who owns a stock certificate is called a stockholder. Shareholders are the owners of a corporation and their shares of ownership are represented by stock certificates.

A corporation is managed by the Board of Directors.

It is difficult and expensive to organize a corporation. The process of obtaining a charter usually requires the services of a lawyer. Corporations are subject to special taxes.

3. tax burden

The principal purpose of taxes is to pay for the cost of government. Sometimes taxes are levied to protect selected industries. The federal government can use its ability to tax to regulate the level of economic activity.

Taxes may be imposed on transactions, institutions, property and all kinds of other things. But the most important thing is that taxes are paid by people.

All taxes are paid out of income. Two principles of taxation deal with the equity in distributing tax burdens.

The benefit-received principle of taxation states that those who benefit from government programme are the ones who ought to pay for it.

The ability-to-pay principle states that taxes ought to be paid by those who can best afford them, regardless of the benefits they receive.

Most taxes can be classified as progressive, regressive and proportional.

A progressive tax takes a larger percentage of a higher income and a smaller percentage of a lower income.

A regressive tax is one that takes a higher percentage of a low income and a lower percentage of a high income.

A proportional tax takes the same percentage of all incomes, regardless of size.

A sales tax is a general tax levied on consumer purchases of nearly all products. Sales taxes have a regressive effect. A value-added tax is similar to a sales tax and is also regressive.

An income tax, a property tax and an inheritance tax are progressive taxes.

Much of the government’s revenue comes from the income and property taxes.

The World Bank was founded in July 1944. It is a group of four institutions: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the International Finance Corporation, the International Development Association and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency.

The World Bank has about 40 offices throughout the world with the staff over 7,000 members including economists, engineers, agronomists, statisticians, lawyers, experts in telecommunications, water supply, transportation, education, energy, rural development, population and health care and other disciplines. The headquarters of the World Bank is situated in Washington.

The World Bank is a lending institution. The first loans were extended during the late 1940s to finance the reconstruction of the war-destroyed economies of Western Europe. When these countries recovered, the Bank turned its attention to assisting the world’s poorer nations, known as developing countries. The World Bank has one central purpose: to promote economic and social progress in developing countries by helping to raise productivity so that they may live a better and fuller life.

The World Bank is an investment bank, intermediating between investors and recipients, borrowing from the one and lending to the other. It obtains most of the funds through the issue of bonds. The World Bank also borrows money by selling bonds and notes to governments, their agencies and central banks. The proceeds of these bond sales are lent to developing countries to help to finance projects and policy that give promise of success.

The World Bank started working with the government of Belarus in 1992. The first project was focused on improving forest management in the Belavezhskaya Pushcha nature reserve. From that time the World Bank has assisted with an economic rehabilitation loan, institution building, forestry development and a number of technical assistance projects.
