What should be discarded is the idea, prevalent in the mainstream media worldwide and even at the UN, that charging for the social cost of carbon and its “offsetting” can replace public planning for socio-technological transition.

The global carbon market approved in Baku will not overcome this problem. International competition to reduce costs to attract private investment is a systemic feature of the world economy. It creates a coordination problem, making it impossible to establish a single international price for carbon. International divergence in carbon prices undermines an effective system for reducing global emissions

Resident aliens, in general, have the same liability for Social Security and Medicare Taxes that U.S. Citizens have.

Finally, households in DDP areas reported lower rates of illegitimate taxationby FARDC and higher rates of taxation by state agents than those in non-DDPareas

While 48% of mines in control clusters report visits from theFARDC in the last six months and 39% report illegal requests for “taxes”, only20% of mines in treated clusters report recent FARDC presence and 14% reportrequests for taxes

The main source of armed interference is still FARDC. Twenty-seven percent of the miners in our dataset workin a mine where the FARDC extorts profit (15,060 of 55,604 miners). They regularly charge illegal taxes at themines in areas where they are deployed to provide security against armed groups.

For someof the bigger mines, the FPP/AP makes a few thousand dollars per mine each month through lump-sumtaxes on production, on the miners and their dependents, as well as taxes and monopolies over the tradeof other commodities.

Similar practices occur all over eastern DRC. In Lubutu territory, gold traders pay a monthly lump sum of30,000 FC (US$15) to SAEMAPE, and 24,000 FC (US$12) to CEEC. In Beni territory, gold traders have to pay alump-sum tax of between US$5 and US$10 on market days. And while cooperatives have to pay in princi-ple 10% of the value of their production, one such cooperative in Beni declared it actually pays betweenUS$5 and US$10 per month and per team of miners to SAEMAPE. 4

DDP (N = 289) 93 percent 70 percent 7 percentNon-DDP (N = 334) 84 percent 81 percent

State services imposing taxes, are supposed to give the tax payer a receipt upon tax payment. Notproviding a receipt can be considered an indication of an irregular tax transaction. The frequency of notproviding a tax receipt upon tax payment was reported less frequently in DDP mines (7 percent, N = 289)than in non-DDP mines (21 percent, N = 334).

The imposition of Illegal taxation by FARDC or irregular armed groups was confirmed in 17 percent (N =623) of the mining sites visited with a noticeable difference between DDP mines (6 percent, N = 289) andnon-DDP mines (28 percent, N = 334)

About 77 percent (out of 144) of the respondents said that they are paying a tax or a fee to operate in amining site. The share is slightly lower in areas with due diligence programmes (73 percent out of 113)than in areas without due diligence programmes (90 percent out of 31). W

In physics, fields describe the distribution of forces in space. Their description thus requires the knowledge of magnitude and direction. Both are expressed through field contours; field forces act in the direction of the contours, and the distance between the contours indicates their magnitude. (The closer the contours are together, the larger the force.) In an electric field the direction of the field is given by the electric charge of the charged sources. If the charge is negative, the field is directed toward the charge. All electric fields begin on a positive charge and end on a negative charge. If two positive charges interact, their forces are directed against each other. This creates a repellent force as shown in the illustration. (The same occurs with two negative charges, because their respective forces also act in opposite directions.)

But share buybacks are also increasingly under fire. President Joe Biden, a frequent critic of share repurchases, included a 1% tax on share repurchases in the Inflation Reduction Act passed by Democrats in Congress last year.

The Hittites treated their defeated enemies the same way other Near Eastern states did. Cities were generally looted,except for their temple precincts. Captured populations were deported, either in whole or in part

Nine states right now don’t assess personal income taxes—Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming—with Mississippi the most likely to join their ranks in 2023.

Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons, including those bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three-fifths of all other persons. The actual enumeration shall be made within three years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent term of ten years, in such manner as they shall by each State shall have at least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to choose three; Massachusetts eight, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations one; Connecticut five; New York six; New Jersey four; Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one; Maryland six; Virginia ten; North Carolina five; South Carolina five; and Georgia three.

Unemployed workers are much more likelyto fall into poverty in countries like the United States, Canada, and Japan,compared with countries such as the Netherlands and Iceland.

But until all participants in the debate recognize the overwhelming importance of having two parents in the home, we’re not going to get very far in improving opportunity.

Between 1914 and 1980, inequalities in income and wealth decreasedmarkedly in the Western world as a whole (the United Kingdom,Germany, France, Sweden, and the United States), and in Japan,Russia, China, and India, although in different ways, which we willexplore in a later chapter. Here we will focus on the Western countriesand improve our understanding of how this “great redistribution”took place.

In concreteterms, a state that levies taxes amounting to only 1 percent of the na-tional income has very little power and capacity to mobilize society.

He reminds us that the original meaning of "free market" was "a market free from rents," where unproductive creditors were not allowed to lay a private tax on productive manufacturers. https://locusmag.com/2021/03/cory-doctorow-free-markets/

Will the CRA allow qualifying employers to amend choices and elections? The CRA confirmed that it is considering whether to allow qualifying employers to revise their CEWS-related choices (or elections) if it later turns out that another choice would have been more beneficial. These choices include whether to use the general year-over-year approach or the alternative approach, and whether to use the accrual or cash method for recognizing revenue.

From 2010 to 2016, Facebook Ireland paid Facebook U.S. more than $14 billion in royalties and cost-sharing payments

the Internal Revenue Service tries to convince a judge the world’s largest social media company owes more than $9 billion

he nation money by reducing administrative costs, eliminating the administrative expenses of marketing and advertising private health insurance,

Per capita administrative costs may be higher in Medicare. For instance, in 2009 they were $509 in Medicare and $453 in private insurance. Medicare costs are lower as a percentage of the total only because total claims costs tend to be much higher in Medicare than in private insurance. This is because Medicare’s older and less healthy population file the claims costs. Medicare shifts administrative costs to doctors, hospitals, nursing homes, home health agencies, and other medical professionals who must comply with Medicare’s huge and complex regulatory requirements. Compliance with tens of thousands of pages of Medicare rules, regulations, guidelines, billing, and other paperwork requirements consumes vast amounts of time, energy, and effort on the part of the private-sector professionals who participate in the Medicare program. Medicare fails to effectively control waste, fraud, and abuse in the program. This failure of administration results in the staggering loss of tens of billions of taxpayer dollars each and every year. Private-sector health plans, policing their billing, have no comparable record in accumulating such enormous losses.

His planwould finance the national insurance program through a combination of payroll and income taxes, and it would replace private and employer-sponsored health insurance and existing government health programs—including Medicare itself.

“Democrats think it's not progressive enough because it doesn’t put extra burdens on higher-income people, like an income tax does,” Hines says. “And Republicans worry that it's too easy for the government to raise money with one.”

While moving expenses you pay yourself are deductible, expenses that your employer reimburses you for are not eligible for the deduction.

Um, so, but the other way is, you know, when, when they do make these transactions, they're all recorded on the exchanges that you, I moved those, that data to a spreadsheet and that's where I do the tax tracking.

So the changing of the rules is, is kind of screwing with it, but I track it on a coin base and then I look at, you know, at the end of the month or end of the quarter or something, Say I traded a hell of lumen and I made a killing on lumen

The other big issue is the fact that they're changing trading taxes on it. So now it's a fifo system for last year versus you could do like kind exchange in the year before. And so I'm keeping track bringing over those original cost basis is from the last, previous year to the new year is just so much easier on an excel sheet. I'm very transparent. It's, it's a pain in the ass and I hate to do it simply will not trust a one of those websites. I mean there's too much variance in literally I put a put tried two different websites.

100%. I mean, I uh, had light, I don't even remember exactly, but like 10,000 trees or something for 2018 I think. And same for 2017 like it's impossible for me to do it by hand

Yeah. Use this tax software called Queen tracking tracking. I haven't been there in awhile, but that's how my to do list. But yeah, I basically, this is what I allow the API keys to get. They, they do read only and they allow them API act, read access to all my exchanges

ns tax. Um, so I have a tax accountant that will help me and I think most of the exchanges have some type of data dump download. I'm not overly concerned with it. It might be a little messy, but I specifically moved here so I didn't have to overthink it. I know I don't have to pay any tax on it. So, um, okay. Yeah, that was my solution

The plan will add anywhere from 5 to 7 trillion dollars to our deficit.
