peer agreement (net): -1| le taux applicable est dégressif par paliers the applicable rate being degressive by bands [/by steps] // on a degressive scale Explanation: Strictly speaking L'hypothèque est enregistrée contre paiement d'un droit d'enregistrement dont le taux applicable suit un palier dégressif allant de ... should be: L'hypothèque est enregistrée contre paiement d'un droit d'enregistrement dont le taux applicable est dégressif par paliers allant de ... (just the usual "approximate" use of precise mathematical concepts by those not on speaking terms with maths ... ) namely, by definition "un palier" is flat, corresponds to a value that stays the same; what does keep going down [... est dégressif] as the value of the mortgage increases is "the applicable rate" of this "droit d'enregistrement" - but not continuously - this tax/duty rate goes down "by steps / par paliers" i.e. the rate stays the same within one "palier" [between the lower and upper limits of that "band"] before decreasing and being the same for the whole of the next "palier/step". If you make a graphical representation of this rate, you would have a line looking like steps going down as the value of the mortgage goes up. "Preuve par l'absurde" that the original wording is logical nonsense: palier nom masculin (ancien français paelier, de paele, poêle) • Plate-forme qui sépare les volées d'un escalier et spécialement celle qui, de plain-pied avec les locaux de chaque étage d'un bâtiment, leur donne accès (palier principal ou palier de communication, par opposition à repos). • Période stationnaire, phase de stabilité dans le cours d'une progression, d'une évolution : La production industrielle a atteint un palier. • Organe servant à supporter et à guider un arbre tournant. • Partie d'une route, d'une voie ferrée dont le profil correspond à une ligne sensiblement horizontale. Read more at http://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/palier/57413#0... http://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/palier/57413 IOW "un palier" is something defined as " une plate-forme / stabilité / stationnaire / sensiblement horizontale etc." hardly compatible with being "dégressif" - that would be a particular feat of logic to be at the same time "horizontal" and "downward sloping" ... Also, saying that a rate of taxation is "variable by steps/bands" doesn't automatically mean that the rate of taxation is a degressive one, as it is in this ST. The most typical exemple of the opposite case is the taxation of personal income - in many states, personal income is taxed on a progressive scale of income tax rate. |
