Thank you very much!

I suppose you got this definition from a dictionary of business terms, didn't you?

No, I took the information from five different websites by googling 'tax benefits'. Googling is an easy method for information search of which many do not take advantage. A good bit of my 'work' here is doing the googling for others.

I tried to use google.ru but it wasn't successful. Perhaps I am not good at English enough...

By the way I knew this expression 'to get tax benefit', and yesterday during English lesson I said about it. But nobody believed me, because they opened a Russian-English dictionary and found other words like 'advantage' and 'privilege'. So I needed the definition for to prove that i was right

Well, I am glad that you can now prove your point, Amelie. Googling takes a bit of patience and experiment with the proper phrase to search. I generally get best results from 'exact phrase' in 'Advanced Search'.
