WHAT DOES TAX BREAK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Tax break

Tax break is a term referring to any item which avoids taxes, including any tax exemption, tax deduction, or tax credit. "Tax break", or "tax loophole", is used pejoratively in the United States to refer to purportedly favorable tax treatment of any class of persons, as in "individuals get a tax break for so and so". As of 2013, expansion and exploitation by major corporations of like-kind exchanges, originally intended to relieve family farmers of capital gains tax when swapping land or livestock, was cited by The New York Times as an example of the need for tax reform.
