Residential Property Abroad
It is increasingly common for individuals to own more than one property and in many cases the first investment after the family residence is in a holiday home. Whether you are buying a place in the sun, a country retreat or a city centre apartment, if it is in a foreign country you will be exposed to an unfamiliar legal system and to taxes in the country concerned. It is therefore important, even before a contract is signed, to decide whether to make the purchase in your personal name or through a company. To change course later will always be expensive. It is however usually possible to reduce exposure to tax.Buying in a personal nameAssuming the property is for personal occupation, the form of tax, which is most easily avoided, is estate or inheritance tax.
The death of the person in whose name the property is registered will normally give rise to a liability which may exceed 40% of the value at the time and the tax will usually have to be paid before the property can be sold...

Legislation Requires All Tax Professionals to be Enrolled Under IRS Regulations
The State of Florida has no standards or laws regulating the conduct or standards of tax professionals. Anyone or his idiot-savant brother, may open up a tax office and receive compensation for preparing tax returns. In fact, according to Marvin Diamond
of Diamond Professional Tax Preparers in Kissimmee, Florida, people have done just that. Diamond complains of companies opening up for just a few weeks during tax season, taking people's money, then closing up and disappearing - while customers are left without even getting their tax returns.
Senator Jeff Bingham's legislation intends to stop those kinds of consumer problems - and worse ones.Once S.
832 passes, there will be thousands of tax professionals with long-term experience, excellent professional track records, but no credentials, who will be forced out of business. They won't be able to become CPAs or attorneys in time for next tax season. Both those professions tend to require college degrees, and intensive...

Election Truth
Yes, it is true that George W. Bush received the most votes of any elected President in our history. He also received more votes against him than any other elected President in the history of our country. The margin of difference between those who want Bush as our President and those who do not is a measly 3%. The fact is that the electoral map is almost identical to that of the year 2000.
Bush did win the popular vote by 3.5 million votes but he nearly lost the election, had just 68,001 votes switched in Ohio. The 3.5 million more votes came entirely from small states that have predominantly rural voters that typically vote Republican or lean Republican but don't always vote. Who voted for whom? If you are young (18-29), a working woman or a non-working woman, black, latino, Asian, or other, belong to a union, make under $100,000, have a post-graduate education, are a moderate or liberal, never voted before, a Jew, a Buddhist, or a Hindu, a single civilian, homosexual, don't...

In most cases, the deadline for filing the return and paying any tax due is August 31, 2005. Payment can be made by check, money order or electronically through electric payment (EFTPS).In previous years, taxpayers who timely filed Form 2290 could choose to pay the tax in four equal installments. Ordinarily, these installment payments were due on the last day of August, December, March and June.
About 148,000 taxpayers chose this option last year in 2004.In general, the highway use tax applies...
