Summary: 5 steps to reform of para-fiscal chargesNALED Serbia
Aiming to reduce the fiscal and para-fiscal burden to businesses, NALED and USAID developed a comprehensive Registry of non-tax charges in Serbia and created a Study with concrete proposals for the reform of this are.
The para-fiscal burden will be reduced if the Government of Serbia takes five steps - eliminates double fees for the same service, adjust the amount of fee with the cost of service provided, eliminates the fees where no counter service or value is provided, return the revenues that naturally belong to the local governments, and establishes a public, electronic Registry of fees and charges on the national level and prescribe that the institutions cannot collect fees and charges that are not included in the Registry.
Registered as a securitization fund, Fermion Equity Fund is managed by Fermion Capital Sàrl. Fermion Capital exists as a direct consequence of Luxembourg’s Securitization Law of March 22, 2004, which outlines taxation requirements for a securitization company.
Securitization companies based in Luxembourg are subject to taxation as if they were corporate entities. That places the effective tax rate for securitization vehicles at 29.22 percent, which consists of a 21 percent tax rate on income exceeding 15,000 euros, a Solidarity Surtax of seven percent and a Municipal Business tax rate of 6.75 percent. The tax rate can be reduced via obligations arising from payments to investors in the vehicles such as interest or dividends.
However, as long as a securitization company in Luxembourg does not require a trade license, and its securities, assets, and bank balance exceed 90 percent of its balance sheet total, it is only subject to the minimum corporate taxation of 3,000 euros plus the Solidarity Surtax. Luxembourg’s double taxation agreements also benefit funds established within it; for instance, the securitization company is not liable to net wealth tax nor withholding tax on distributions to investors.

Участие Украины во ВТО является важным не только с точки зрения экономики, но политики. Оно послужило главной предпосылкой к подписанию Соглашения об ассоциации с Европейским Союзом и, как следствие - в режиме временного применения с 01.01.2016 г. в отношении Украины действуют положения зоны свободной торговли с Европейским Союзом. В ответ на это, с 01.01.2016 г. РФ ввела ограничения транзитного движения с территории Украины в Республику Казахстан, а с 01.07.2016 г. в Кыргызскую республику.

Комментарий Натальи Ульяновой на тему - Декларирование 2017: отчитаться за всёICF Legal Service
Времени на то, чтобы задекларировать доходы за 2016 год, еще предостаточно. Это можно сделать вплоть до 1 мая 2017 года. Причем в связи с тем, что 1 и 2 мая являются выходными днями, налоговики должны принять декларацию и 3 мая. Тем не менее, до последнего дня лучше не тянуть, и желательно сдать отчетность загодя. Заплатить суммы недоплаченного налога, высчитанные по итогам декларирования, нужно не позднее 1 августа 2017 года. Исключение составляют лишь налогоплательщики, которые не обязаны декларироваться, но претендуют на получение налоговой скидки. Для них на подачу декларации отведен весь 2017 год.

Криптовалюта предоставляет многочисленные возможности для заработка. На ней может зарабатывать как подросток, так и трейдер с многолетним опытом. Особенностью такого заработка является отсутствие обязательного стартового капитала. Начать зарабатывать деньги возможно только открыв электронный кошелек.

Перспективы законодательного регулирования обращения криптовалюта в Украине и мире. Каким должно быть государственное вмешательство в этот процесс и какими могут быть последствия чрезмерного регулирования?
Вопрос законодательного регулирования криптовалюты становится все более актуальным. Это неудивительно, потому что в эпоху экономической нестабильности и обесценивания традиционных валют начинается поиск альтернативного средства инвестирования, которым становится цифровая (виртуальная) валюта. В правовом регулировании криптовалюты на порядок больше пробелов, чем нормативной определенности. Даже сам термин «криптовалюта» является дискуссионным: валюте свойственно наличие централизованного выпуска и определенного эмитента, что не характерно для криптовалют.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.
Responsibilities of the office bearers while registering multi-state cooperat...Finlaw Consultancy Pvt Ltd
Introduction-
The process of register multi-state cooperative society in India is governed by the Multi-State Co-operative Societies Act, 2002. This process requires the office bearers to undertake several crucial responsibilities to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks. The key office bearers typically include the President, Secretary, and Treasurer, along with other elected members of the managing committee. Their responsibilities encompass administrative, legal, and financial duties essential for the successful registration and operation of the society.
