Word origin
The compound joins 税 (shuì, "tax") with 率 (lǜ, "rate"), so its meaning centers on the rate applied when tax is worked out.
Usage tips
- In everyday money talk, naming the rate alone can leave the payment unclear because the same percentage produces different payments on different taxable bases.
