In this journal written by David Hugill, I agree with how he describes the events of the Robert Pickton case and media had a big influence on how the events played out.

On Popular Dry Goods Co. v. Commissioner (1927), the court held that the expenses incurred for the dances provided by the company were deductible because “Employees' dances were one of the inducements held out to the employees to increase the sales total.” If the “Social hour” Wendy hosts to celebrate when a faculty is promoted or has a paper published in an exceptionally prestigious journal, encourages their faculty to perform better. Wendy, would be able to deduct the expenses associated with the “social hour” events hosted this year.

I found a case for a man named Robert Allen in Chicago on the NAAPR (Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression) website. Robert received a ride from his friend, Tony Anderson, unknowing that the car was stolen. Three Chicago detectives in plain clothes arrived and blocked off the car. They pulled both of them out of the car and handcuffed them. They then searched the car and found a jacket with a handgun in it. Allen claimed that he was never read his Miranda rights. Anderson was charged with Auto Theft and Allen was charged with Criminal Trespass of a Stolen Vehicle. Allen and Anderson were both questioned by Detective Michael McDermott and Detective Anthony Maslanka. Both detectives have been implicated in dozens of cases of

The benefits of a charitable gift annuity. The donor will qualify for an income tax deduction. Note that deductions for gifts of long-term appreciated property are limited to 30 percent of their adjusted gross income. Gifts of cash, short-term appreciated property, ordinary income property, and non-appreciated property will be limited to 50 percent of their adjusted gross income. The donor may, if necessary, take unused deductions of either kind over the next five years, subject to the same 30 percent or 50 percent limitation. The annuitants the donor names will receive fixed annual payments for life backed by the general resources of the

Fast Ed took one of his cars for his daughter which is now been used for the family purpose. He may argue to get tax offset under Div. 30 of ITAA 1997 as a deduction for gifts or contribution. However, Sec 78 (3) advocates that such property may not be deductible as the giver still retains the right to use his property. In such case, Fast Ed will not get the deduction facilities in his assessable income. It is so because in order to get such facility

According to the IRS website a donor must have a bank record or written communication from a charity for any monetary contribution before the donor can claim a charitable contribution on his/her federal income tax return (IRS, 2015). Also, the donor must obtain a written acknowledgment from a charity for a contribution of $250 or more. In addition to these laws, if a donor receives any goods or services totaling $75 or more in exchange for a contribution they are required to provide a written disclosure. The organization would provide the following; name of the organization, amount of cash contribution, description, and a statement that no goods or services were provided by the organization in return for the contribution (if that’s the case). In this particular case, it is not listed that the client received any goods or services from the organizations in return for the contributions he made. The charitable contribution deduction is used frequently by taxpayers and is one of the federal government’s top tax expenditures. For fiscal years 2013 to 2017 the projected total from individuals and corporations is estimated at $238.8 billion (Aprill, 2012). Therefore, it is more likely that a tax payer be audited if they use this deduction.
