S corporations and LLCs with S corporation elections provide similar liability protection and federal tax treatment, passing income through to owners. However, S corporations pay annual franchise taxes that LLCs are not subject to. Both entity types allow for distributions to owners to avoid self-employment taxes. An LLC can also elect partnership tax treatment to defer taxes until cost basis is exceeded and allow tax allocations between partners. Due diligence for mergers examines ownership verification, and the acquisition may provide an opportunity to change the entity type for future tax advantages.

The document discusses different strategies for financing broadband networks using municipal bonds. Traditional revenue bonds backed only by network revenues are no longer viable due to investor unwillingness to take on project and technology risk. Today's financings require communities to assume some risk, with additional security beyond network revenues needed. Hybrid revenue bonds that provide cross-collateralization with other utility funds or limited tax pledges can provide needed security. General obligation bonds backed by the full faith and credit of the municipality are the lowest cost option but represent the greatest exposure.

The document discusses new U.S. legislation that provides financial rewards for whistleblowers who report corporate bribery or other wrongdoing. The Dodd-Frank Act mandates payments of 10-30% of fines to whistleblowers, which could amount to tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. The Anti-Corruption Alliance was formed to help implement this legislation and ensure whistleblowers receive their financial rewards. The ACA aims to streamline the process and protect whistleblowers' rights to rewards through its international legal network.

Keegan Law - Boston Criminal Defense AttorneyAaron Davis
The document provides information about business directories and legal consultants, including a listing for Keegan Law, a criminal defense attorney located in Boston, Massachusetts. It includes categories of businesses and a brief description of Officials & Law listings as well as contact information and links for the CornerstonesWorld business directory website.
The document discusses Governor Blagojevich's proposed Gross Receipts Tax (GRT) in Illinois, which would be the largest tax increase in the state's history. The GRT is a tax on all business revenues, not just profits, and creates a "pyramid effect" where costs are passed to consumers as goods move through production chains. Opponents argue that the GRT will drive up costs for businesses and consumers, harm Illinois' competitiveness, and potentially cause job losses as businesses relocate to other states with lower taxes.

Enforcement Focus on CCO Liability GER 2017Duff & Phelps
There is no doubt that wrongdoers should be held accountable for their crimes. Many years ago in The Wall Street Journal, Arthur Levitt Jr. said ‘hurt people where it hurts most, freedom or their pockets.’ As Mr. Clayton correctly stated, ‘[I]individual prosecution, particularly in the white-collar area, has a significant effect on behaviour.’
Crain's NY article features June Klein and Technology & Markeitng Ventures, INc.June Klein
The document discusses a proposal by June and Ira Klein to create a marketplace where small businesses could sell unused federal tax deductions for equipment purchases. The Kleins argue this would provide cash for small businesses that are unprofitable in early years and cannot take the full deduction. However, a tax expert believes the proposal could reduce government tax revenue if large profitable companies buy the deductions. Supporters argue the lost revenue would be minor compared to existing small business programs. The Kleins are working to build support for the proposal among politicians and business groups in New York and Connecticut.
The fight against corruption in latin america and the caribbean…Homealoneagain
Corruption imposes massive economic and social costs on countries. It corrodes public institutions, undermines governance, affects macroeconomic stability, discourages investment, and raises the cost of doing business. As a result, corruption obstructs economic growth and development. It also disproportionately burdens the poor by reducing access to public services and resources. From the perspective of international development agencies, corruption reduces the impact of aid to developing countries and weakens support for aid programs. Corruption is associated with broader weaknesses in the rule of law. Solutions must target fundamental political reforms for increased transparency, accountability, and democratic participation, though progress will be difficult and irregular. Governments can also promote private ownership, competitive markets, an honest civil service,
This document summarizes taxation considerations for Canadian corporations doing business in the United States. It discusses operating through a U.S. branch or subsidiary. A U.S. branch faces U.S. income tax, but treaty protection may apply if no permanent establishment exists. Creating a permanent establishment can occur through physical presence or employee activities. Operating through a U.S. subsidiary also faces U.S. income tax. State taxation depends on whether sufficient nexus exists in a state based on contacts like visits, equipment, or offices. Public Law 86-272 provides some protection for limited state presences. The document provides contacts for further tax questions.
The document compares the legal systems of Panama and the United States. Panama follows a civil law system with codes and one constitution, while the US has a common law system across multiple sovereign states and a federal constitution. Both systems share modern commercial laws and property rights. Key differences include binding jurisprudence in the US and the regulation of lawyers. The document recommends conducting due diligence when doing business across borders and including arbitration clauses in contracts.
The document discusses the history of the mortgage crisis beginning in 2007 and the fraudulent foreclosure practices that emerged in its wake. It describes how hundreds of billions of dollars in risky mortgage-backed securities were sold globally and collapsed, forcing mass loan modifications and foreclosures. Loan servicers hired inexperienced staff who mishandled modifications while "robo-signers" approved foreclosures without verifying details. Widespread legal issues around mortgage ownership led to investigations and moratoriums on foreclosures. The crisis increased shadow inventories and will likely cause future price drops when properties are sold.

The document discusses the benefits and formation of limited liability companies (LLCs) under Michigan law. It summarizes that LLCs combine favorable attributes of partnerships and corporations by providing owners protection from personal liability while allowing flexibility in structure. However, the document notes that real estate license law prohibits brokers from paying commissions to unlicensed LLCs, as that would circumvent the requirement that commissions only be paid to licensed individuals.
Imagine someone you know and really care about, maybe its a parent, grandparent, friend, neighbor, or maybe it's you. Then imagine he or she has lost every dollar they own. Imagine they do not tell anyone because they are too embarrassed, maybe they blame themselves, that it was their fault, or they are afraid that if someone finds out, that they will lose their independence, be placed in a nursing home, or that the criminal will find out and come back to hurt them. This is a real world scenario that happens every day right here in our own community.

Off-label drug use (OLDU) refers to prescribing approved drugs for unapproved indications, populations, dosages, or forms. OLDU accounts for about 21% of prescriptions, with many lacking strong scientific evidence. While OLDU allows for innovation, it also risks diminished safety and efficacy evaluation. The FDA prohibits drug promotion for unapproved uses, but the 2nd Circuit overturned a conviction for off-label promotion based on free speech grounds. This decision could significantly impact FDA regulation of off-label promotion. Future implications may include revised FDA guidance and expanded opportunities to share off-label scientific evidence with providers.

This document discusses internet sales tax legislation and the issues surrounding requiring online retailers to collect and remit sales tax. Currently, under the Quill decision, retailers must have a physical presence or "nexus" in a state to be obligated to collect sales tax there. However, many states are trying to expand the definition of nexus to require companies like Amazon to collect taxes. If federal legislation passes, it could significantly change companies' sales tax obligations and require collecting taxes in many more states.

An overview of the status of state advertising tax legislation, what to expect going forward, and how to fight it.
Wright Andrews, Partner, Butera & Andrews
Bennet Kelley, Founder, Internet Law Center (Twitter @internetlawcent)
The document discusses state and local taxation issues, particularly regarding services. It notes past efforts by some states to tax services that were later repealed. It also discusses issues like nexus standards, sales tax audits, and court cases related to exemptions. The author is an experienced CPA who provides advice on state and local taxes and regularly speaks on the topics.
Provide updates on CAN-SPAM, keyword search liability and the recent FTC affiliate marketing rules to identify how audience members can ensure that their campaigns produce results, not liabilities.
This document provides an overview of key laws, regulations, and best practices for online commercial activity in Canada. It discusses consumer protection rules, legislation governing e-commerce, privacy laws, intellectual property regulations, and common security threats and solutions. The goal is to educate online merchants on their legal obligations and how to safeguard transactions and customer information.
Overview of the advertising tax, how it affects affiliates, origins in New York, the Quill Corp. v. North Dakota Supreme Court decision, how affiliates can take action, states where there is currently activity, and resources for the latest on the advertising tax.
The document summarizes best practices for advertisers and affiliates based on perspectives from regulators, internet service providers, and the advertising industry. It discusses avoiding liability for affiliates' wrongful acts, advertising content regulations from agencies like the FTC, and ISP enforcement strategies against issues like spam, viruses, and phishing. Key topics include having proper agreements with affiliates, ensuring advertising claims can be substantiated, following rules around using terms like "free", and addressing privacy, data security, and legal content concerns to avoid problems with regulators.

This document summarizes the services provided by Pre-Paid Legal Services, including legal consultation and representation for various personal and civil legal issues for a monthly fee. It outlines preventative legal services, motor vehicle legal services, trial defense services, IRS audit services, and a 25% discount on other legal work. Identity theft protection services are also available for an additional monthly fee through a partnership with Kroll, Inc. The business has over 30 years of experience and more than 400,000 members.
The document discusses whether P.L. 86-272, a 1959 law that protects businesses from state income taxes if they only solicit sales in a state, is unconstitutional or discriminatory. It notes that the law does not apply to companies that sell services or intangibles. This means those companies can face state income tax liability even if their in-state activities are limited to solicitation. However, companies that sell tangible goods are protected from taxation under similar circumstances. The author argues this unequal treatment may violate the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment and questions whether updating or changing P.L. 86-272 is overdue to address this potential unconstitutionality.

The authors explain how a Business Legal Checkup ("BLC") can be useful. BLC is a diagnostic tool small and medium size businesses can use to verify if legal aspects of their operation comply with law and to minimize risk, litigation and expense. When the BLC is completed, the business owner receives a lawyer’s report red-flagging matters which need correction, improvement or further legal advice. Contact the authors for more information.
Sales and use tax laws contain many unexpected "gotchas" that can result in additional tax liability. Gotchas arise from poorly conceived tax laws that produce inconsistent and illogical outcomes, as well as from businesses' inability to adapt their standard procedures to legal technicalities. Examples of sales tax gotchas include establishing nexus through third-party warranty repairs, risk of loss passing in a state, affiliate activities, trade show attendance, and click-through or third-party server arrangements. These unexpected outcomes undermine the intended simplicity of sales tax compliance.
