The document provides a summary of the federal and California homebuyer tax credits available in 2010. It outlines the key eligibility requirements, credit amounts, purchase price limits, occupancy requirements, income limits, and claim procedures for each tax credit. The federal credit offers up to $8,000 for first-time buyers and $6,500 for long-time residents, while California's credit offers up to $10,000 for eligible first-time buyers or buyers of never-occupied homes. Both credits required the purchased home to be the buyer's primary residence.
The document provides information about a tax credit of up to $6,500 available to long-time homeowners who purchase a new principal residence by April 30, 2010. To qualify, homeowners must have lived in their previous home for 5 consecutive years in the past 8 years. The credit is equal to 10% of the purchase price up to $6,500 for individuals or $3,250 for married filing separately. The credit is fully refundable and does not need to be repaid as long as the new home is lived in for 3 years. Military members have until May 1, 2011 to purchase a home and claim the credit.
The 2009 First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit provides a tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time home buyers who purchase a home between January 1, 2009 and December 1, 2009.

The credit phases out for single filers with incomes between $75,000 and $95,000 and joint filers with incomes between $150,000 and $170,000. Buyers do not repay the credit if they live in the home for at least three years.

Government Affairs Tax Credit Isakson Amdtguest2f5bbf1
The document summarizes key differences between the current homebuyer tax credit law and proposed changes from the House and Senate. The Senate version would increase the maximum credit amount to $15,000 but only for homes purchased after the bill is signed into law. It would eliminate the refundable nature of the credit and the first-time homebuyer and income restrictions. Repayment of the credit would still apply to 2008 purchases but not 2009 purchases if homes are kept for two years.
This document discusses the legal requirements for consideration in contracts. It defines consideration as mutuality of agreement where both parties gain or lose something of value. Consideration must be both valuable and move from the promisee. There are exceptions for acts done at the promisor's request or where equitable estoppel applies. The performance of an existing contractual or public duty is generally not valid consideration, though practical benefits may allow contract variation. Equitable estoppel can also prevent a party from going back on a promise if the other party relied on the promise to their detriment.
Mortgages and Commercial Tenancies Considering Goodyear Canada Inc v Burnhamt...Richard Saad
This document discusses the implications of a mortgagee taking possession of a property where there are existing leases on the property. It summarizes the key issues from the Goodyear Canada Inc v. Burnhamthorpe Square Inc case, including that where a lease is registered after a mortgage, the mortgagee holds paramount title and can eject the tenant upon taking possession.

1) Beswick v Beswick established that a third party can enforce a contract if they are intended beneficiaries, as determined by the language and circumstances of the agreement. The widow was entitled to specific performance of payments promised to her after her husband's death.
2) Trident General Insurance v McNiece expanded exceptions to privity to allow subcontractors to claim under liability policies where they were intended beneficiaries. The court applied theories of unjust enrichment, reliance, and trusteeship.
3) Coulls v Bagot's Executor affirmed privity by restricting claims to parties that provided consideration, denying a widow benefits after her husband's death as she did not personally provide consideration.
The document discusses the legal requirements for consideration in contracts. It defines consideration as a benefit to one party or detriment to the other. Consideration must be provided by the promisee and can be in the form of an act, promise, or forbearance of a legal right. Consideration does not need to be adequate in value, only sufficient. Exceptions exist for past consideration and certain duties imposed by law or existing contracts when extra benefits are provided.
The BRAC Bank Ltd. had a long term tenancy contract for its Gulshan branch office with the landlord. When the bank received a notice to pay arrear revenue owed by the landlord, it paid on his behalf as he was unavailable. The bank then sought reimbursement from the landlord by deducting the amount from rent payments. The landlord refused, arguing the contract did not obligate such payment.
Though the tenancy contract was silent on this issue, quasi-contract principles apply as the bank paid to protect its interests from eviction. Section 69 of the Contract Act allows recovery from the landlord to prevent unjust enrichment. Therefore, BRAC Bank Ltd. can realize the money paid under quasi-contract rules.

Take Two The Expanding Scope Of The Rescission Doctrineibristol
This article discusses the expanding scope of the IRS's rescission doctrine, which allows parties to unwind transactions and return to their pre-transaction positions if certain conditions are met.

Central excise duty is payable on goods before they are removed from the place of manufacture based on the assessable value determined by a central excise officer. The central excise act of 1944 and tariff act of 1985 along with rules issued by the central government and its notifications are the sources of central excise law. Goods covered under central excise include alcoholic liquors, opium, narcotic drugs, and other manufactured or produced goods except those exempted.

An excise duty is a tax on goods produced within a country, as opposed to customs duties on imported goods. It is levied on the production or sale of goods and is a source of government revenue. To be subject to excise duty, goods must be movable, marketable, and mentioned in the Central Excise Tariff Act. There are basic, special, and additional excise duties charged at different rates. Liability for excise duty arises when goods are manufactured or produced in India and the manufacturer or producer is responsible for paying the duty. Valuation and duty rates can vary based on specific good characteristics or an ad valorem percentage of the goods' value.
A Simo chart records the simultaneous motions of different body parts of a worker(s) on a common time scale, often based on analyzing filmed footage of an operation. It shows the therbligs or groups of therbligs performed by different parts of the body. Simo charts are used for short, rapid operations and are generally compiled from slow motion or paused film footage. They provide a micromotion-level view of an operation analogous to a man-type flow process chart. Movements are recorded against time measured in "winks" from a counter visible in filmed footage.
