Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reimbursement of personal income tax withheld from wages is not a government transfer, as it is a return of taxes that were already paid by the individual. Government transfers are payments made by the government to individuals or groups for which no goods or services are exchanged, such as social assistance programs or pensions. A, B, and C all represent examples of government transfers.
