The Commission is determined to remove any remaining tax obstacles to a Single Market for occupational pensions (second pillar pensions). Since the entry into force of the Pension Fund Directive on 23 September 2005, the pressure on these tax obstacles is increasing.
What is the difference between a simple carbohydrate and a complex carbohydrate? The body breaks down carbohydrate into glucose (a type of sugar) to provide energy. The number of sugars found in the chemical structure of the carbohydrate determines if it is a simple or a complex carbohydrate. Simple carbohydrates contain no more than two sugars. Carbohydrates with more than two sugars in their structures are considered complex carbohydrates. Compared to simple carbohydrates, complex carbohydrates are generally absorbed slower and thus take longer for the body to digest.
â¢ Starch is a complex carbohydrate, whereas sugar is a simple carbohydrate. â¢ Starch is made up of long chains of simple sugar called glucose, whereas sugar can be made up of either a single sugar molecule or two simple sugar molecules linking together by a glycosidic bond.tarch vs Sugar. Starch and sugars are two types of carbohydrates found in food. Carbohydrates are the organic compounds, made up of carbon (c), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) in the ratio of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms for every one carbon atom (CH 2 O).
