...Unit 1 – AO1 – Investigate the roles and responsibilities of two contrasting public services and describe their purpose AO2 – Investigate the internal structure and functional areas for two chosen public services The two public services I am going to speak about are the prison service and the army. The reason is because both have a very important part of the keeping Britain safe. The prisons vision is to provide the very best prison service as possible and to help secure the following points. * Hold prisoners securely and safely * Reduce the risk of any prisoners from re-offending * Providing safe and well-ordered establishments in which we treat prisoners humanely, decently and lawfully To make sure the prison service actually completes their objectives they work in * close partnership with our commissioners and others in the Criminal Justice System to achieve common objectives * Obtain best value from the resources available using research to ensure effective correctional practice * Promote diversity, equality of opportunity and combat unlawful discrimination, and * Ensure our staff have the right leadership, organisation, support and preparation to carry out their work effectively. This is what the prison set out to achieve and how they plan to do it but there is a lot more involved in running a successful prison because a prison is a business. The prison has it goals but the prison needs top security to complete the goals. No...

...generally constitute fraud (tax evasion) and in those circumstances there is no statute of limitations. If the IRS cannot prove fraud on Kevin’s part, then the statute of limitations would expire April 15, 2016. Q.42 Answer: The corporation will be able to pay interest on the debt s well as deduct the interest from its gross income. However if the corporation pays dividends on the stock, the dividends are not deductible by the corporation. Whether the payment is interest or dividends, the shareholder recognizes income for the amount received; however, dividend income is taxed at a lower rate. If the corporation retires a shareholder’s stock, it is possible that the amount received could also be treated as a dividend unless specific redemption requirements are met. Another consideration is that the corporation can repay the debt with no tax consequences at all to the shareholders. Q.59 Answer: According to section 1.183-2(c), Income Tax Regulations it is recognized that a taxpayer can be engaged in an activity for profit even when there is only the rare possibility of profit.

Businesses? o May determine how much an individual decides to gift or donate, how and where they choose to invest their money, whether they set up a trust or estate, do or do not purchase particular goods (eg might avoid cigarettes because of the excise tax, but may buy an electric vehicle for the tax benefits). May also be a factor in determining where they move or whether they take a job in a city/state with greater taxes. For businesses, it can help determine how they choose to structure (sole proprietor vs partnership vs LLC vs S Corp vs C Corp), whether they choose to pursue a particular product line (for example, if the government is offering a tax relief program for a particular product such as a crop or energy efficient technology), and where they decide to hire their workers. • What are the ethical guidelines that will apply to individuals in tax practice? o Don’t take chances in the hope that the return will not be audited.

...To: ABC Corp. XYZ, XZY 12345 From: Amit Gupta & Marc Rosenfeld Re: Federal tax consequences of cash distribution from LLC Jan 31, 2011 We appreciate the opportunity to advise you regarding this tax matter. To ensure a complete understanding between us, we use our judgment in resolving questions where the tax law is unclear or where conflicts may exist between the taxing authorities. Facts The following facts are based on your written correspondence to us, if these facts are incomplete or incorrect; please let us know as soon as possible. Helpful Paper Towels (HPT), a wholly owned subsidiary of ABC Corporation and Northwest Industries (NI) formed Northwest Helpful LLC (LLC) which was treated as a partnership for tax purposes. NI transferred its business assets valued at $412 million to the LLC in exchange for a 95% interest in the LLC, whereas HPT contributed all of its assets valued at $800 million for a 5% interest in the LLC. The newly formed LLC then borrowed $750 million from Bank of America (BOA) on the same day it received the contributions from NI and HPT and immediately transferred the loan proceeds to HPT as a special cash distribution.NI guaranteed payment of the BOA loan, and HPT agreed to indemnify NI for any principal payments NI might have to make under its guaranty. In turn, HPT loaned the cash distribution to its parent company ABC Corporation in return for a note. After the transaction, HPT’s only assets were its LLC interest, the ABC Corporation...

...Week 7 Research Project (Set #1) DeVry University Acct 429 TAX RESEARCH MEMORANDUM ASSIGNMENT 2 It appears as though a couple of your clients have encountered an unfortunate development in their financial situation. Cindy and Ralph Edmonds own TidyCo., Inc. TidyCo, in turn, owns and operates several coin Laundromats in and around Dubuque, Iowa. Over the last two years, the Edmonds made weekly deposits of the Laundromat receipts to corporate and personal bank accounts. However, it now also appears (unknown to you!) they also siphoned off a portion of the weekly collections and took them home rather than depositing them. These amounts, which appear to total about $200,000 were hidden in shoeboxes around the house and (surprise!) were not reported as income. The IRS found out about these amounts and has notified them that it intends to bring criminal tax evasion charges against them under Section 7201 of the Code. The IRS has made quite clear that it believes that the Edmonds’ actions constitute prima facie evidence that they intended to defraud the government and should therefore be liable under the statute. As their accountant, you know that TidyCo has a deficit in both its accumulated and current E&P accounts and that this deficit has existed over the entire...

...(5 pts) Corporations other than S Corps are considered double taxed. The corp is taxed on income and then if the earnings are paid out to shareholders that money is taxable income to the shareholder. If any of it was deductible then perhaps it wouldn’t be double taxation but this is not the case. However, for taxpayers in the 10% tax bracket they are not taxed on the dividend income. 2. What type of taxpayers are considered "eligible" taxpayers with regard to special ordinary loss treatment of IRC Section 1244 stock? (5 pts.) A taxpayer is considered eligible if; the individual sustaining the loss who was issued stock by a small business or corp and, An individual who is a partner in a partnership at the exact time that the stock was acquired from the issuance of a small business. The stock must have been continually held from date of issuance in order to claim a deduction under section 1244. A corporation, any trust or estate is not entitled to such deductions. 3. Please describe how the treatment of capital gains(losses) differ for a C Corporation as compared to an Individual. ( 5 pts.) Professor, A main difference is that for Corps, no special treatment is given for LT Capital Gains. There is also no deduction for capital losses that exceed capital gains for corps. The process is still similar for individuals in that the losses can be netted against the gains(not ordinary income), but anything above that for the corp is just taken as a loss. 4. Please...
