They've survived the bursting of the tech bubble, a global economic downturn and the occasional virus, but now overseas Internet retailers may see their European profit push derailed by one of the oldest drags on business: tax.

On July 1, a new EU (European Union) directive goes into effect requiring all Internet firms to account for value-added tax, or VAT, on "digital sales".

The law adds a 15 to 25 percent levy on select Internet transactions such as software and music downloads, monthly subscriptions to an Internet service provider and on any product purchased through an online auction anywhere in the 15-member bloc of nations.

The VAT tax is nothing new for some Net firms. European dot-coms have been charging customers VAT since their inception. Their overseas rivals though have been exempt, making foreign firms an obvious choice for the bargainhunting consumer.

Even the accountants are having a hard time keeping all the phase-ins and phase-outs straight after the last tax law change (the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, which was signed by President Bush on May 28, 2003).

For example, in 2003- 2004 the 10% bracket applies to $0-$7,000 of income for single filers and $0-$14,000 for married filing jointly. But in 2005, the brackets shrink and only $0-$6,000 (single) will quality for the 10% tax and $0-$12,000 for married filing jointly. The brackets change again (back to the higher levels) in 2008.

In a speech last week from the capital, Brazil's president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva appeared to balloon with pride over his accomplishments and gloated over achieving in months what his predecessor Fernando Henrique Cardoso could not do during his eight years in office.

"I am pleased and the Brazilian people are satisfied that we have done something in seven months that has taken other countries years to do," said Lula on the pension reform amendment. "The last president of Brazil spent eight years trying to get a social security reform bill through Congress."

While the president is riding high over his win with pensions, analysts see a much tougher field to hoe in the coming months.

Next on the Lula administration agenda is taxes, a fight that will not only be waged in the capital, but at the state and local levels as well. Governors, who backed Lula's pension proposal in Congress, want to see additional revenue tickle down to the local levels. The president, however, insists on "tax reform designed to stimulate production, not to boost revenue" for the states, as he put it on Monday.

Julgue se as substituições sugeridas para elementos do texto provocam erro gramatical.

A partir do próximo ano, a Receita Federal exigirá dos contribuintes mais informações sobre compra e venda de bens. Esses dados serão cruzados com o cadastro do fisco para flagrar quem tenta sonegar tributos. Técnicos da Receita Federal devem acrescentar novas perguntas ao formulário da declaração do Imposto de Renda de Pessoa Física (IRPF) no ano que vem ou mudar o enfoque de algumas delas. O objetivo é coletar informações mais precisas para serem cruzadas com outros bancos de dados em poder da Receita, como os cadastros enviados por cartórios de imóveis, incorporadoras, imobiliárias, bancos e administradoras de cartão de crédito, além dos números contidos nas declarações de renda de terceiros. Quem omitir informações ou fornecer dados errados, movido por boa ou má-fé, poderá ter dois problemas: ficar no final da fila de restituição do imposto ou ser convocado a dar explicações pessoalmente. Das entregues em 2002, cerca de 597 mil declarações ficaram retidas na malha fina. A finalidade das mudanças é aperfeiçoar ainda mais os cruzamentos com os dados fornecidos por terceiros. Em 2003, a Receita passou a cruzar dados dos contribuintes com informações prestadas por imobiliárias, incorporadoras e administradoras de cartão de crédito. A cada ano, fica mais difícil enganar o fisco.

Falar em direitos humanos pressupõe localizar a realidade que os faz emergir no contexto sócio- político e histórico estrutural do processo contraditório de criação das sociedades. Implica, em suma, desvendar, a cada momento deste processo, o que venha a resultar como direitos novos até então escondidos sob a lógica perversa de regimes políticos, sociais e econômicos, injustos e comprometedores da liberdade humana. Este ponto de vista referencial determina a dimensão do problema dos direitos humanos na América Latina.

Neste contexto, a fiel abordagem acerca das condições presentes e dos caminhos futuros dos direitos humanos passa, necessariamente, pela reflexão em torno das relações econômicas internacionais entre países periféricos e países centrais.

As desarticulações que desta situação resultam não chegam a modificar a base estrutural destas relações: a extrema dependência a que estão submetidos os países periféricos, tanto no que concerne ao agravamento das condições de trabalho e de vida (degradação dos salários e dos benefícios sociais), quanto na dependência tecnológica, cultural e ideológica.

Analise os seguintes itens a respeito do emprego das estruturas lingüísticas do texto, para, em seguida, assinalar a opção correta.

I. O paralelismo sintático e semântico entre "pressupõe" e "Implica" evidencia que remetem ao mesmo sujeito oracional.

II. O tempo e modo verbal em que "venha" está empregado indicam incerteza, dúvida a respeito do que pode vir a ser resultante em termos de "direitos novos".

III. As regras de regência nominal permitem que "dependência" também seja empregada com a preposição com; por isso está igualmente correto: a extrema dependência com que estão submetidos...

IV. "concerne" apresenta dois complementos sintáticos: (a) "agravamento das condições de trabalho e de vida", e (b) "dependência tecnológica, cultural e ideológica".
