Tertiary sector of industry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The service sector or the service industry, is one of the three main industrial categories of a developed economy, the others being the secondary industry (manufacturing and primary goods production such as agriculture), and primary industry (extraction such as mining and fishing). Services may involve the transport, distribution and sale of goods from producer to a consumer as may happen in wholesaling and retailing, or may involve the provision of a service, such as in pest control or entertainment. Public utilities are often considered part of the tertiary sector as they provide services to people, while creating the utility's infrastructure is often considered part of the secondary sector, even though the same business may be involved in both aspects of the operation. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Tertiary_sector_of_industry   (666 words)

Tax burden rise attributed to multiple factors_Insight—China Economic Net The secondary industry developed at a higher growth rate when compared with that of GDP during the Tenth Five-Year Period with its proportion in GDP reaching 47.28 percent by the end of the Period, 2.13 percentage points higher than in the first year of the same period. Under the current structure of China's taxation system, tax burden in the secondary industry is far higher than that in the primary industry and the tertiary industry; as a result, the comparatively fast growth of the secondary industry had resulted in a tax incomes growth rate, which is faster than that of GDP. Similarly, the tax burden increase in the secondary and tertiary industries does not mean that the tax burden of the whole industry or all enterprises has increased; instead, quite a lot of industries or microcosmic entities that satisfy specific conditions have enjoyed preferential tax treatments. en.ce.cn /Insight/200604/06/t20060406_6616937.shtml   (1279 words)
