| Thanks, Malcolm! What an interesting low-profiled word "assessment" is to avoid pointing out the fact of "extorting excessive taxes and levies." Care to join us at http://www.proz.com/powwow/2107 ? |

各种各样的摊派费用 = all kinds/sorts of apportionments/apportioned expenses
摊派 = apportion (expenses, work, etc); 叫众人或各地区、各单位分担（捐款、任务等）（外研社：汉英词典；现代汉语词典）
contributions, rates, levies, capitations ...
I'm not sure of the correct term for this. There are several similar terms I think.
eg contributions, forced donations, subscriptions for capital works, schools etc.
see what others say.

| Thanks, Lai An! Some extorted contributions could be just perfect in an authoritarian system, for people in such a system know nothing better. |
