Book excerpt: This book, marking the 2014 centenary of income tax in South Africa, presents historical research covering a range of topics. The authors begin with the international origins of income tax law and the transformation of old Dutch taxes into colonial income tax, and the role of General Smuts in the introduction of income tax in 1914. The struggle to find an appropriate means of taxing corporate profits of shareholders is shown to have continued for decades, and mining and fanning as main industry players in the South African economy receive special attention. The demise of cooperatives, the history of international tax treaties and the colonial influence also form part of the historical journey of this publication. An examination of the special qualities of leading judges of the time and their jurisprudence provides much food for thought. Policy debates such as whether South Africa should follow the source or the residence system of taxation, or introduce a land tax, rage today as they did in 1914. The impact of transformation since 1994, the need to entrench taxpayers' rights and to remove gender inequality, and the remarkable modernisation of SARS, all played an important part in the development of the South African tax system. A book about one hundred years of income tax would not be complete without some biographical notes on key personalities such as CJ Ingram KC, Aubrey Silke and David Meyerowitz SC. In recognising the conference held at the University of Cape Town to mark one hundred years of income tax in South Africa, the rise of the teaching of tax at UCT is presented in the form of an extract from the memoirs of Prof Leon Kritzinger.
Download or read book The End of Cash the Income Tax and the Next 100 Years written by Jeffrey H. Kahn and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The income tax is technologically very similar to the way it was in its early years, and technological developments have been at the margins of the income tax and have not affected its core elements. Still, technological improvements have made third-party reporting and withholding more efficient, which has allowed these mechanisms to become more pervasively used. Technology has also made it easier for taxpayers to substantiate their activities. These changes have facilitated the evolution of the income tax from its original class tax to the mass tax it is today.While further technological advances might improve the federal income tax, it could have the opposite effect by paving the way towards its elimination. One particular type of technology -- payment systems -- has the potential either to fortify the income tax or to destroy it. Payment systems technology (e.g., electronic payment systems) could eventually shrink the cash economy down to an immaterial size and perhaps even make cash as obsolete as payphones. These developments would fortify the income tax by reducing the large part of the “tax gap” attributable to unreported cash income, which would result in increased fairness and efficiency, greater confidence in the tax system, and improved taxpayer morale. But payment systems technology, instead, could destroy the income tax by easing the transition from the income tax to a consumption tax.This essay, written for the Florida State University College of Law's symposium on the 100th anniversary of the federal income tax, examines the possible effects that moving to a cashless society would have on the federal tax system.

Book excerpt: The follow-up to the bestselling The Power of Zero, providing a blueprint to build a guaranteed, tax-free income stream that lasts for the long run. American retirees face a looming crisis. We are living longer than ever before, and most experts predict a dramatic rise in tax rates within the next ten years. The hard truth is that no matter how much you save, you are likely to outlive your money or watch it be taxed into oblivion. But when traditional retirement distribution strategies won't provide sufficient income in the face of higher taxes, what can you do? Tax-Free Income for Life lays out a comprehensive, step-by-step roadmap for a secure retirement. McKnight shows how the combination of guaranteed, inflation-adjusted lifetime income and a proactive asset-shifting strategy can shield you from longevity risk and the cascade of unintended consequences that result from higher taxes. It's an innovative and proven strategy that maximizes return while effectively neutralizing the two biggest risks to retirement savings. If ever there were a solution for the American retiree, it's guaranteed tax-free income for life.

Download or read book Principles of Taxation in the United States written by Fabio Ambrosio and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-04 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taxation is a discipline that does not receive sufficient academic attention. It is typically viewed as a subset of law, accounting, public policy, economics, or finance. In this respect, most academic efforts in the field of taxation are shadowed by a mother discipline. There is currently an unprecedented need to approach tax pedagogy in a way that is independent of another discipline. This book caters to that real and unmet need in tax pedagogy. One of the book’s advantages is that it is not tied to a specific tax year and does not coddle the reader with volumes of time-sensitive information. In this book the tax year is never the focus, as the center stage is reserved for teaching the principles and skills necessary to independently find answers. The reader will learn to appreciate the complexity of the American tax system and will be endowed with the contextual understanding necessary to formulate educated opinions about how taxes work and, most importantly, why. Contrary to common belief, taxation in the United States has remained fairly stable for the last 100 years. This book uses the federal individual income tax as a vehicle to unveil the mechanics that make up the American tax system. This book is essential reading for students taking a first course in taxation, at the undergraduate or graduate level, as part of programs in accounting, law, public administration, or business at large.

Download or read book LIFE SAVING TAX SOLUTIONS written by William E. Flikeid and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-02-21 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I want to thank you sincerely for taking the time to read this book. I know you’ll be happy you did. The messages you are about to discover will change the way you think about retirement planning, and, for many of you, it will absolutely empower the future for you and your family, for generations to come. At the heart of this book are surprising secrets designed to save you and your loved ones a fortune in assets – potential buckets of money your estate would otherwise give up to the government, for no reason at all! Here’s why: I don’t want to sound like someone caught up in conspiracy theories (not my style) but I strongly suspect that Congress may be out to get me...and YOU...tax-wise, that is! And for good reason: During the past five years, in particular, we as a nation have run up one mountain of debt and deficit and if we don’t want to stand idly by, and watch significant portions of our estate legacies disappear, it’s time to alter a few well-entrenched financial strategies. We all know about the massive federal debt our country amassed during the last recession. That’s no secret, is it? We also know that, as a nation, we will all have to pitch in and somehow pay it all off. The one way to get there will be through increased taxation. Count on it. Who will pay the tax? You and I will be asked to pay the brunt of it; you can count on that as well. Prudent investors and those trying to preserve their assets in retirement must accordingly begin to think about certain, perfectly legal, money making tax-preservation strategies, the fundamentals of which I will reveal to you in the coming pages of this book. I can’t say it enough: My clients have been astounded by the results. Once they realize how simple and easy it is to save thousands upon hundreds of thousands of dollars in family assets, they realize how financially devastated their families might have been had they never heard the invaluable, wealth-saving advice you are about to review. It is certainly no secret that from the beginning of 2013 the federal government began raising income taxes, not only for the wealthy but for most Americans across the board. Sure, many of us have been deferring the eventual payment of taxes through instruments like annuities. But a time of reckoning is coming for millions of retirees. While many prudent investors and retirees have been solidly immersed in tax deferral investment vehicles, an impending vulnerability actually created by tax deferral forms one of the central points I want to make in this book. Fact is, the IRS is entitled to its fair share of income tax and if we have been deferring tax in things like annuities and IRAs over the past decade or more, many of us may be losing sleep over the next big hurdle in the financial planning process. Here’s where this book departs from others you may have read: I’m not talking about the accumulation or preservation of retirement assets, I’m leading up to the one central issue so many of us have wanted to avoid through the years. I’m talking about the final “distribution” phase of retirement planning, when government taxation stands to take a toll, not only on your current financial picture but the legacy many must inevitably leave behind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Income Record: A List Giving the Taxable Income for the Year 1863, of Every Resident of New York Twenty-six years elapsed before a tax on incomes again became necessary, Sir Robert Peel embracing it in the reformed system of taxation which he brought forward in 1 842. At that time the income tax was to last but three years, but alas for the tax-payer of Great Britain! At the end of this term it was continued for three years more, at the end of this period for three more, and to this day it is the fruitful theme of jests in Punch, communications to the Times, and of letters with small remittances from conscience stricken delinquents to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The high est income tax paid by the British subject since 1816 was during the Crimean war, when it reached 6§ per cent. On incomes over £150, and a little less than 3 per cent. On those between £100 and £150. After that war it was reduced to and 23, per cent. Respectively. It is now, with some special exceptions, 25 per cent. Ou all incomes of £100 or upward, with this material proviso, that on incomes between £100 and £200, an allowance of £60 is made before calculating the tax. Incomes less than £100 pay no tax.
