	Capital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In South Africa, for example, the administrative capital is Pretoria, the legislative capital is Cape Town, and the judicial capital is Bloemfontein, the outcome of the compromise that created the Union of South Africa in 1910.

	The Fraser Institute: Tax Reform in Canada: Our Path to Greater Prosperity
		Harmonization of the capital tax bases of the federal and provincial governments, together with the elimination of the deductibility of provincial capital taxes.

		High effective marginal corporate rates deter investment, and inter-industry and inter-asset variations in these effective rates distort the allocation of capital. Consequently, a reduction in the level of marginal effective tax rates and a reduction in their variance are high priorities from the standpoints of growth and efficiency.
