...It’s the Season for Tax Planning Clean Up It is autumn and time for a tax planning review. You may have been distracted by a struggling global economy affecting all that you do, but Uncle Sam still wants his share of your personal pocketbook. Taxes must be taken into account on every financial decision. There are many financial issues we cannot control, but there are some we can. You can control the timing of certain transactions relative to income tax planning. It is particularly important before yearend to pay attention to what will be reported on your tax returns. As always, consult with your tax advisor on all tax matters. Here are some tips to consider. * First, review your financial picture. How have things changed? Is cash flow increasing, or decreasing? Do you need to adjust your withholding or estimated tax payments? * Can you accelerate or delay income? * What deductions should be paid 2011, or deferred to 2012. For example, do your deductions exceed the IRS thresholds; medical bills, miscellaneous investment charity donations, property tax, etc. * Are you taking full advantage of retirement plans? If you are over age 50, or are turning age 50 this year, you can make a catch up contribution. For age 50 or older, add $6,000 to your plan. There are some unique aspects of tax planning in 2011. Some of them actually continued from 2010. There is no phase-out of itemized deductions, which this year continues to be a benefit for higher...

...Corporate Tax Planning IRS Code has 3 forms of business: 1) Sole Proprietorship (pass through entity): the business is a mere continuation of the individual. There is no creation of a new legal entity. You use 1044 to file your private money with business income. Code Sec 61 (definition of income) states there is only one level of taxation. 2) Corporation (C or S): create a distinct legal entity. 3) Partnership (pass through entity): create a distinct legal entity. Corporate law states partnerships must be registered with the state. Tax law says the partnership is a reporting entity, but not a taxable entity because there is no taxation at the level of the partnership. The profits are taxed at the end of the partners’ fiscal year. The report file sent to the IRS is to ensure the IRS knows how much income each partner will file with the IRS. It just tells the IRS how the income generated from the partnership was distributed to each partner. Types of Partnerships General: all partners are general partners and have unlimited liabilities. It does not matter if one of the partners did not commit the business transaction, tort, or malpractice. Ex: acquires loan and the loan and cannot the paid back. The creditor has the right to go after any or all the partners. As a partner, one must make sure who is taking out loans for the GP and if it can be repaid because anyone is liable for the loan. However, one partner can go after the other partner for reimbursement...

...Dutch and Caribbean tax systems facilitate MNC’s in minimising their global tax bills? In order to minimise their global tax bills, MNC’s engage in a tax avoidance technique known as the ‘Double Irish with a Dutch Sandwich technique’. It is a technique employed by certain large corporations, involving the use of a combination of Irish and Dutch subsidiary companies to shift profits to low or no tax jurisdictions. In this essay I am going to explore this tax avoidance technique and give a step-by-step guide as to how large MNC’s such as Google use it. First I am going to give an overview of this tax avoidance technique and why it is advantageous for an MNC to use. This technique is just one of a class of similar international tax avoidance schemes that has allowed MNC’s to dramatically reduce their overall corporate tax rates. It in essence involves sending profits through one Irish company, to a Dutch company and finally to a second Irish company headquartered in a tax haven. These techniques are most prominently used by technology companies because these firms can easily shift large portions of profits to other countries by assigning intellectual property rights to subsidiaries abroad. Each step in the ‘double Irish with a Dutch sandwich’ technique involves arranging transactions between subsidiary companies to take advantage of the idiosyncrasies of varied national tax codes. For decades MNC’s have been taking advantage of the ‘quirk’ in the Irish tax law that allowed a...

...Tax Planning dan Pengendalian atas PPh Pasal 21 A. KOMPENSASI KARYAWAN: TUNAI VS NATURA Karyawan yang bekerja di sebuah perusahaan dan pemberi kerja lain akan menerima imbal hasil dari jasa yang ia diberikan, berupa kompensasi. Kompensasi yang diberikan oleh pemberi kerja dapat berupa gaji, upah, honorarium, bonus, tunjangan-tunjangan seperti dana pensiun dan tanggungan biaya kesehatan, sampai pemberian fasilitas yang biasa kita kenal dengan biaya kenikmatan atau natura. Pemberi kerja tentu ingin memaksimalkan keuntungan yang mereka terima, dengan memaksimalkan biaya yang bisa mereka bebankan sebagai pengurang penghasilan, agar pajak yang mereka bayarkan semakin sedikit. Di lain pihak, pemberi kerja juga ingin memacu motivasi karyawannya agar dapat bekerja secara produktif dengan memberikan kompensasi tambahan, disamping kompensasi pokok yang mereka berikan. Dalam hal ini, pemberi kerja harus memperhitungkan dengan cermat kebijakan yang akan mereka pilih. Idealnya tentu mereka ingin agar dapat memberikan kompensasi tambahan, dan biayanya dibebankan. Maka dari itu, sebagai bagian dari tax planning, pemberi kerja dapat mempertimbangkan cara pemberian kompensasi tersebut. Natura, menurut Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia diartikan sebagai “barang yang sebenarnya, bukan dalam bentuk uang (ttg pembayaran).” Sedangkan menurut Surat Edaran Dirjan Pajak Nomor SE-03/PJ.23/1984 tentang pengertian kenikmatan dalam bentuk natura (seri PPh Pasal...

...What are Audited Financial Statements, samples and Templates? Posted on January 7, 2012 Financial statements are one of the most important aspects of a business. There are several types of financial statements, with the three main ones being receipts and payments account, balance sheet and expenditure account. Forming and managing such accounts require a high level of knowledge and expertise, and that includes the analysis of financial states. Let’s take a quick look at financial statements of companies. An Overview of Financial Statements Financial statements, as mentioned below, are mainly of three types. Each of these types of statements- balance sheet, income and expenditure account, and receipts and payments account, are formulated by the company. At the end of the fiscal year, the reports are sent to auditors and then checked. If the company runs a number of entities, then it forms financial statements that applicable to the group of entities under the control of the parent entity.
