Many hundred of thousands of nationwide small businesses are trying to cope with an insurgence of Tax Problems. The situation can be compared to a medical pandemic in the business world. By : Kev Massey Many tens of thousands of local and national establishments are confronted with an insurgence of Tax Problems. The situation can be compared to a medical pandemic in the business world. All the time more industries are struggling to raise credit and at the same time are being faced with customers and providers who want longer and longer to settle invoices. This in turn is causing businesses to spend the money which would have formerly been kept for HMRC to service operational trading and supplier costs. It is predicted that around 800,000 UK big businesses are currently struggling to overcome their tax obligations and many of those risk severe consequences for trading whilst potentially insolvent. Figures have suggested that around ?3billion each month is not being paid to HMRC.Any business owner who trades whilst unable to repay their tax debts runs the risk of trading whilst insolvent and effectively risks the possibility of becoming personally legally responsible for bad debts and tax arrears. Big Businesses who were previously struggling with tax debts always had the added cushion of having access to quick and affordable credit. However the rug has well and truly been pulled from under UK big businesses with an increasing amount ending up in insolvency or CVAs. During these turbulent trading periods company owners more than ever need to pay very careful attention to their tax burden and check that sufficient money is being kept aside to pay for their bill. To manage tax burdens professionally is the essential key for a successful business owner if he wants to remain in business, as failure to sort out tax issues can amount to legal proceedings being brought by HMRC. It is also crucial for UK business owners to immediately seek specialist advice concerning any tax problems. HMRC are generally more appreciative of business owners who take the first step to settling any problems instead of waiting for them to take enforcement action.

The Lower Your AGI-The Lower your Taxes By : Berber Starting today and for the future, it will be essential for you to keep track of your AGI. Adjusted gross income (AGI) is basically the number you use to calculate your income tax. If you have a sizable AGI, you pay a significant amount of tax. The tax bracket you are in is a result of your AGI. Right now there is talk about setting a predetermined AGI, and if your income exceeds that amount, your taxes will be increased. Their thought is the rich can pay more taxes. You may or may not agree with the concept, but you had better watch your AGI, or you will end up paying a lot of income taxes. Where the president sets the number is uncertain, but it will be low enough that it will hurt a lot of unsuspecting families. Rumor has it that $200,000 or $250,000 will be the limit. It is not uncommon for small business owners to bring that much home each year. The owner can't use it, because it is really money the company owns. For tax purposes, it just "passes through" to the owner's bottom line. Once these laws come about, there is going to be a new urgency to reduce your AGI. There is one sure fire way to lower you AGI, that is to make less money. That's intolerable for most individuals. Let's face it, people don't want to change diapers so they can save a couple of hundred thousand dollars and lower their AGI. Reducing your AGI isn't straightforward as just gathering up some more deductions. If you are making $400,000 per year and getting your AGI down to $250,000, you'd have to take a lot of deductions to get there. Acquiring more supplies for your little business isn't going to get you where you want. You may be able to make good progress lowering your AGI, if you consider an ERISA plan. Most ordinary retirement and benefit plans are ERISA plans. A standard retirement plan contribution lowers your AGI. Health Reimbursement Agreement (HRA) and other such benefit plans will enable your little company to lower your AGI because the company gets a tax deduction for contributions made to the plan, thereby putting money basically tax free into the plan. There will be less money to "pass through" to you, if the company gets a deduction. There are several sound investments that provide excellent returns, but also cut your AGI by the amount that you spend. You can use credits in investments or depreciation in investments and also decrease your AGI by $100,000 or more. Call me for information. If you are selling a property use IRS Code Section 1031 to eliminate the income that you would otherwise have to recognize if you did the sale under normal circumstances. For a detailed explanation of a 1031 exchange, I have a 90 minute CD. Moving money, which would otherwise be your income, to family members is another way to lower your AGI. If you are just getting a W2 income, then you can't "move money" to your family members, but if you have a little business, then you can shift income. You can pay your kids to do work in your business; that's the most uncomplicated way. There are a number of things you can do to shift income (thousands of dollars) if you don't want to "hire your kids." You can use legal tools, such as LLCs and Family Limited Partnerships to shift income. My Accumulation and Preservation of Wealth Course goes into those details. IRS Provides Guidance on New COBRA Rules By : Doeren Mayhew Recently, the IRS addressed how employers are to administer and seek recovery of the new COBRA premium subsidy enacted under the American ecovery and Reinvestment Tax Act of 2009 (P.L. 111-5). The IRS Act provides that an individual who has been involuntarily terminated on or after September 1, 2008, through the end of 2009 is required to pay only 35% of the group health insurance premium to secure COBRA continuation coverage (up to nine months). The Durable Power of Attorney Is a By : Berber Every adult in this country should have a "durable power of attorney," which is one of the four important legal documents everyone should have. A durable power of attorney is basically a fill in the blank form document for estate planning every individual's estate plan has to include. The durable power of attorney will provide management continuity and control of the individual's assets and business affairs when he or she becomes incompetent or can't manage things for him or herself. The individual making out the durable power of attorney is called the "principal," and the person who will take over for the principal is called the "agent." A "durable" power of attorney is distinguished from a "general" power of attorney, because it has a provision in it that says that the powers of the agent will endure beyond the incompetency of the principal. If you were to be judged incompetent, a general power of attorney would become ineffective. It was finally recognized that the time when a power of attorney was really needed was after the principal couldn't function for himself or herself. Therefore, congress passed laws that provided for the power of attorney to have validity beyond the incompetency of the principal. The use of a will and revocable living trust may be better understood, but don't dismiss the significance of a durable power of attorney. You are more likely to be rendered incompetent and unable to manage your financial matters than you are to die within the next few weeks. It is usually harder, from a legal standpoint, to take over a person's financial life and have them declared incompetent than it is to deal with a dead person's assets. Without the durable power of attorney, a family will have to have a court proceeding to have a family member declared incompetent and someone appointed as their agent or "conservator." A durable power of attorney should contain an important clause that will be used to determine when an individual is incompetent. A properly written durable power of attorney will allow the family to forego any court intervention for the transfer of responsibility to the agent. If two medical specialists affirm that a person is incapable of managing their financial affairs, this will usually satisfy the requirements in most durable power of attorney forms. A principal's incompetency is often certified by some combination of doctors, family members, or clergy. A principal can assure his affairs are properly dealt with, if his durable power of attorney gives the agent appropriate authority. A person acting as agent under a durable power of attorney can help with not only financial and medical issues, but also religious and social matters of concern to the principal. A durable power of attorney that deals exclusively with medical issues is called a "medical power of attorney." Today, the durable power of attorney, medical power of attorney, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) agreement, and living will can all be combined into one big document or broken up into separate documents. All adult family members need a durable power of attorney, either combined as described above, or in distinct documents. Sign the documents and put them where your family can find them and they will be safe. If an individual in your family has a problem, the durable power of attorney can save you time, financial stress, and heartache.

Avoiding Estate Tax By : Berber Death taxes and inheritance taxes are often referred to as "estate taxes." They are a tax imposed by the government, and generally speaking, they have nothing to do with probate. If you don't have a big estate, you don't have to worry about paying estate tax.Even families with quite substantial estates can avoid paying any estate taxes by using several legal tools. Estate taxes are often called the voluntary tax, because if you plan for them you don't have to pay them. The rich don't lose a dime when dad dies, so why don't you do your estate planning and avoid all of the estate taxes? Every dime of a deceased person's estate is actually subject to the estate tax and a tax is levied.Most families don't have to actually pay any estate taxes, because the IRS gives them a "credit" which can be used to pay a set amount of the estate tax charged.The estate tax "credit" limit changes almost every year.It is actually the credit amount that changes and not the estate tax rates and brackets. In the US, the estate tax is actually "unified" with the estate tax, and the credit is called the "unified credit."The unified credit can be used to "pay" either the gift tax or the estate tax, or a combination of both the gift tax and the estate tax.You will have to actually look up the unified credit amount each time you want to know what it is, because it changes often.The amount of property that generates an estate tax equivalent to the amount of unified credit available to offset the estate tax is called the "exemption equivalent." When people say that you can pass one million dollars without an estate tax they are really saying that the unified credit at that time is the amount of credit needed to offset the tax imposed on the first one million dollars in estate value. Lots of people are surprised to learn they actually have a taxable estate, because the estate includes the assets like the retirement accounts, stocks, bonds, little business, life insurance face values, and of course, all of the real estate.Most people don't think the life insurance is included, but in most cases it is included in the estate tax calculations.Inflation allows estate values to gradually increase, and many families are shocked when they actually end up paying estate taxes after dad dies.People don't really realize that the first dollar above the exemption equivalent is subject to a near 50% estate tax.If there is an estate that is only $500,000 above the exemption equivalent, the payable estate tax will be on the order of $250,000.So what if you pay the attorney his $10,000. If you can get an extra $250,000 to your family, it is money well spent. Using Lee R. Phillips' new book, Guaranteed Millionaire, and his FREE DVD, Using the Law to Make Money and Protect Your Assets, you will know how to move your live insurance out of the estate tax trap.Using the book and DVD together, a couple can learn how to pass twice as much property to their family without having any estate tax problem.If you don't eliminate your estate tax problems by removing your life insurance from your estate and getting twice as much property out to the family without an estate tax, there are a number of other legal tools an attorney can use to eliminate estate taxes.Some of the other options you have are Family Limited Partnerships, Corporations, and LLCs.

Stop Throwing Money Away! By : Tomas McFie ...and find out what millions will never know. Attorney Is a Necessary Estate Planning Document By : Berber It is important that each adult in the United States have four legal documents. One of these is a "durable power of attorney." A durable power of attorney is a highly standardized legal document signed by an individual. The durable power of attorney will provide management continuity and control of the individual's assets and business affairs when he or she becomes incompetent or can't manage things for him or herself. If you make out a durable power of attorney, you will be known as the "principal" and the one who will take over for you is called the "agent." The difference between a "durable" power of attorney and a "general" power of attorney is the stipulation in the durable power of attorney that says the power of the agent will endure beyond the incompetency of the principal. If you were to be judged incompetent, a general power of attorney would become ineffective. It finally became obvious that a power of attorney is even more important if a principal cannot function. Therefore, congress passed laws that provided for the power of attorney to have validity beyond the incompetency of the principal. The durable power of attorney is equally important to the use of a will or revocable living trust, even though it may receive less attention. It is more likely that you will be judged incompetent or unable to manage your affairs in the next month than it is that you will be dead. Dealing with a dead person's assets is usually easier than having that person declared incompetent and managing their assets while they are alive. Unless there is a durable power of attorney in place, it will be necessary for the court to appoint an agent or "conservator" for someone who has been determined to be incompetent. A mechanism or formula should be contained in the durable power of attorney to dictate when the principal will be considered incompetent. A well written power of attorney will allow power to transfer smoothly to the agent without any court involvement. Usually, the durable power of attorney will say that the principal can be declared incompetent, for purposes of the durable power of attorney, if two doctors sign a statement saying that the principal can't manage their business transactions any longer. A principal's incompetency is often certified by some combination of doctors, family members, or clergy. A principal can assure his affairs are properly dealt with, if his durable power of attorney gives the agent appropriate authority. A person acting as agent under a durable power of attorney can help with not only financial and medical issues, but also religious and social matters of concern to the principal. A "medical power of attorney" only deals with medical issues. Today, the durable power of attorney, medical power of attorney, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) agreement, and living will can all be combined into one big document or broken up into separate documents. All adult family members need a durable power of attorney, either combined as described above, or in distinct documents. Sign the documents and put them where your family can find them and they will be safe. But, when a family member has the accident, gets sick, or goes down for some reason, the durable power of attorney can spring into action and save the family a ton of time, money and frustration.

Avoid Estate Tax By : Berber Inheritance taxes and death taxes are basically the same thing as estate taxes. They are a tax charged by the government. Taxes and probate are two totally different concepts.Most families don't have to worry about estate taxe, because the federal government doesn't impose payment of the tax on "smaller estates." People with larger estates can usually avoid paying any estate tax by doing some good estate planning using the legal tools available to them. Estate taxes are often called the voluntary tax, because if you plan for them you don't have to pay them. The rich protect themselves, so when a family member dies, they don't pay any estate taxes. Why shouldn't you protect yourself? Every dime of a deceased person's estate is actually subject to the estate tax and a tax is levied.Families usually don't have to actually pay any estate tax, because the IRS gives everyone a "credit" which can be used to offset the estate tax assessed against the estate.The exact amount of property an individual can pass without paying an estate tax changes quite frequently. The amount of credit you get to apply toward paying the estate tax changes. The estate tax rates and estate brackets usually don't change. In the US, the estate tax is actually "unified" with the estate tax, and the credit is called the "unified credit."When you want to know what the unified credit amount actually is, you will have to look it up, because it changes too often to make any assumptions.An amount of property, know as the "exemption equivalent" amount, is the value of the property which generates a gift or estate tax equal to the unified credit.People often say, "You can pass $2 million without an estate tax." They are really saying that the unified credit will offset the tax generated by the first $2 million in property passed through a gift or estate inheritance. Lots of people are surprised to learn they actually have a taxable estate, because the estate includes the assets like the retirement accounts, stocks, bonds, little business, life insurance face values, and of course, all of the real estate.In almost all estates, life insurance is included in the estate evaluation, and it is subject to the estate tax.Many families can't believe they will actually have to pay estate taxes after dad dies. Dad didn't get any "richer," inflation simply grew his estate value above the exemption equivalent amount.People don't really realize that the first dollar above the exemption equivalent is subject to a near 50% estate tax.If there is an estate that is only $500,000 above the exemption equivalent, the payable estate tax will be on the order of $250,000.Attorneys aren't cheap, but getting an extra $250,000 to your family makes their motley $10,000 bill look like a great deal. Lee R. Phillips's FREE DVD, Using the Law to Make Money and Protect Your Assets, coupled with his new book, Guaranteed Millionaire, shows you how to remove life insurance from the estate tax problem.
