The document discusses the history and development of value-added taxation in Brazil. It summarizes that Brazil was influenced by the French VAT model and the work of Carl Shoup in adopting a VAT system in the 1960s. The system was decentralized and revised in the 1988 Constitution. Most recently, Brazil has implemented a unified federal VAT and removed taxes on gross revenue, bringing its system more in line with international standards.
The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) was one of the landmark agreements signed as part of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995. GATS aims to liberalize international trade in services by promoting non-discrimination and transparency among its over 140 member countries. It covers 10 broad sectors and defines four modes of supply for trade in services - cross-border supply, consumption abroad, commercial presence, and movement of natural persons. Key principles of GATS include Most Favored Nation treatment, transparency, national treatment, and market access commitments made by members in specific sectors.
The document discusses several pieces of US legislation aimed at combating money laundering and other financial crimes. It outlines laws such as the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970, Money Laundering Control Act of 1986, Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, and the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001. These laws established reporting requirements for financial institutions, made money laundering a federal crime, increased penalties for noncompliance, and enhanced anti-money laundering efforts. The document also discusses the role of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) in administering sanctions and publishing restricted lists.
The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) is the first agreement under the World Trade Organization (WTO) to liberalize international trade in services. GATS provides a framework for countries to negotiate commitments to open up their services markets. While little liberalization was achieved initially, GATS established the foundation for ongoing negotiations to reduce barriers to trade in services. Developing countries have been hesitant to fully embrace GATS due to lack of prior rules around services trade. However, liberalizing services markets could provide opportunities for developing countries to integrate further into the global economy and experience welfare gains from greater competition and efficiency.
The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) created a framework for international trade rules in services. GATS aims to promote services trade liberalization on a mutually advantageous basis. It covers four modes of supplying services: cross-border trade, consumption abroad, commercial presence, and presence of natural persons. Under GATS, countries schedule specific commitments to liberalize certain services sectors and modes of supply, while maintaining exceptions. Commitments are bound under the GATS framework and principles of most-favored nation treatment and transparency.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

AN ACT
AMENDING REPUBLIC ACT NO. 8794, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS
AN ACT IMPOSING A MOTOR VEHICLE USER’S CHARGE
ON OWNERS OF ALL TYPES OF MOTOR VEHICLES
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Constitution, Article 2, Sections 27 and 28, provides:
Section 27. The State shall maintain honesty and integrity in the
public service and take positive and effective measures against graft and
corruption.
Section 28. Subject to reasonable conditions prescribed by law, the
State adopts, and implements a policy of full public disclosure of all its
transactions involving public interest.
The Motor Vehicles Users Charge, or more popularly known as Road Users’ Tax,
was promulgated in 2000. The Road Tax is the government’s third largest source of tax
revenue, after the Bureau of Internal Revenue and the Bureau of Customs.
As it stands right now, the Road Fund is an automatically appropriated earmarked
revenue. It does not need the ycar-by-year appropriation from Congress. Its budget is not
a matter of congressional approval, but a mere matter of matliematical computation. With
or without the General Appropriations Act (GAA), the total revenue collected by the
Land Transportation Office (LTO) is remitted and deposited to the four accounts,
according to the percentages prescribed by law, and are then spent by the Road Board
without sufficient safeguards from Congress. Thus, there is a need to change the nature of
the funds from one which is automatically appropriated to one which requires distinct and
separate appropriations.
