Understanding Business and Government Regulations   by David Gass

To ensure that the businesses are authentic and are discharging their social responsibilities, every government sets up rules and regulations at local, state, and federal levels. This article pertains to the businesses and government regulations in the US.

Government Rules and Regulations for Businesses The rules vary from industry to industry due to the diversity of products and services offered by the market. Below are some of the general regulations the U.S. government observes.

Business structure: Several legal forms of organizational structure exist in the eyes of the government. These include Sole Proprietorship, Partnerships, Limited partnerships, C corporations, S corporations and Limited Liability Companies or LLC. You can make use of the services related to these through tax accountants and attorneys. Once you understand each business structure and the tax implications for each one of them, you analyze your capacity and adopt the organizational type suitable for you.

Business Name: According to The Trade Name Registration Act, if your business runs with a name other than the owner's you need to register the alias or the fictitious name with the county. Businesses run under a corporate name and the professionals, who work under a partnership name, are exempt from this type of name registration.

Business license: A business license gives the legality to your business operations in the area the license is applicable to. If your business is situated in the city then the city office gives you the license for the city. If it is located elsewhere, the county issues you the license.

Certificate of occupancy: If you plan to take up a building for your business, you need this certificate from the city or county department.

Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights: Businesses use commercial names and symbols for products and services. These commercial names and symbols are known as trademarks. State and federal institutions regulate the use of trademarks. In the case of any new and useful discovery, the businesses involved may protect their products and services under the US patent laws. Due to the technicality of patents, an attorney or agent registered with the US Patent Office only guides you about the whole process and represents your case in the US Patent Office. Copyright basically deals with protecting the ideas and artistic works of an artist such as, a writer, a music composer, a computer programmer, painter or any other artist's original work. Copying a copyright-protected work without permission of the owner is illegal.

Tax Structure: Employers must legally deduct federal income tax, state income tax, and Social Security Insurance from their employees' salaries. Businesses must pay income taxes and file tax returns to both the federal and the state governments.

Business Insurance: Business insurance protects the assets of your business against losses due to fire, theft, or anything else that's insured. Some common insurance types may include liability, property, automobile, office, and business income. Sales Tax Number: Businesses get a sales tax number before starting and pay sales tax monthly to the state government for every tangible product they sell.

Human Resource Practices: The government issues guidelines to business houses to safeguard the interest of the companies, the employees, and the nation. The key areas for businesses to look at regarding their employees are immigration rules, the health and safety of the employees at the work place, employee compensation and salaries.

Additional Help All this may seem overwhelming at first and there are software packages that can help you through the process of making certain your corporation is legitimate.

Finding The Best Tax Lawyer   by obono john obono

If you are looking for a tax lawyer you need to know how to find the best one possible. There are literally hundreds of sites alleging to have the best tax lawyer available and it may seem that they are all pretty much the same. However, as with all types of lawyers, there are good tax lawyers as well as bad ones and it is important to find the right one for you.

There are a number of questions that you need to ask any tax lawyer before you decide which company to hire. Obviously, experience is a key factor in narrowing down your list of potential candidates to a reasonably small number. If the tax lawyer you are considering has no recent experience with court cases then you should avoid using their services. This is because the tax laws are constantly changing and it is vital that your chosen tax lawyer is completely up to date with current legislation.

The track record of any tax lawyer is also important. If you ask any tax lawyer how many cases they have won, and lost, this will give you an idea of how effective they are at pleading your case. However, your individual circumstances should be taken into account and you need to ask the lawyer if they have had specific experience with a similar case and what the outcome was.

The best tax lawyer is one that specialises in more difficult cases and is more likely to be able to help you in whatever situation you find yourself.

The methods used by a lawyer in preparing your case should also be a consideration. Usually, a tax lawyer will be extremely thorough in investigating the circumstances surrounding your case and you should look for the most comprehensive service possible. A thorough tax lawyer will look into all of your financial records and gather evidence, of course, but will also look into any other mitigating circumstances to help with your plea.

Of course, any tax lawyer would like to claim that they can have any case against you dismissed but the reality is that this is often unlikely. You should discuss with the lawyers on your shortlist what penalties they anticipate you being given and how they plan to negotiate for lower ones. Obviously, you want to have a tax lawyer who can obtain the most lenient fines possible, even if the case against you is very clear.

Finally and probably most importantly, is the rapport that you feel when you are talking to the individual tax lawyer. It is essential that you are able to discuss everything freely and openly with whichever tax lawyer you finally decide to hire. If you do not feel comfortable talking with a particular lawyer then simply cross them off your list and move on to the next one.

New Law For Tax Debt Settlement   by Greg Roy

There was a new law passed in 2005 that will effect taxpayers who are under an IRS wage garnishment. Rather than help improve financial situations for taxpayers, this new law will make solving tax problems with the IRS more difficult.

In recent decades, the IRS has made a focused effort to get people back into good status by reaching deals on overdue taxes. With the passage of this new law, it seems taxpayers who are behind on their taxes will have a more difficult time getting the matter resolved with the IRS.

A few decades ago, the IRS used to be the terror in most peoples nightmares. Specifically, people who had unpaid income taxes lived in dread of having the IRS catch up with them and freeze their bank account, garnish their wages, or worse, evict them from their residence and sell off their home. To promote voluntary resolutions, whereby the IRS would collect money and the taxpayer could get a tax problem resolved, the IRS instituted a program known as the offer in compromise.

The offer in compromise program was designed to let taxpayers with back tax problems cure their situation voluntarily. Instead of waiting for the IRS to catch up to them, taxpayers could come forward and actually negotiate with the IRS. In exchange for this voluntary action, the IRS would consider a reduction of the amount past due including penalties and interest. To be honest, the program was a massive success.

Effective July 16, 2006, the offer in compromise program has undergone changes pursuant to a new federal law. Ironically, the small government Republican majority in Congress pushed through a foolhardy piece of legislation known as the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005. The legislation mandates very specific changes to the offer in compromise program.

The most dramatic change is the new 20 percent rule. Pursuant to the new legislation, a taxpayer that has problems with past due taxes must send in 20 percent of the offer amount with their offer in compromise. This money is not refundable. Nor will the IRS even acknowledge an offer in compromise if the funds are not submitted. The logic behind this legislation is baffling to many. This 20 percent "fee", if you will, does not guarantee that your offer will be accepted. In fact, the IRS can keep the 20%, reject your offer, and apply the amount to the back taxes that are allegedly owed. A reasonable person can see that these terms do not encourage taxpayers to get right with the IRS.

When a taxpayer gets behind on tax payments, he almost always gets way behind. It is rare to find someone who is only one year in arrears. It is likely that most people who miss paying taxes one year take the head in the sand approach. Fearing all kinds of trouble, they just ignore the situation. When the next year rolls around, they don't file again because they are worried about alerting the IRS. As a result, the amount of taxes due grows rapidly each year, particularly when penalties and interest are added. The 20 percent requirement seems to serve no purpose other than to give people another reason to ignore the problem.

The offer in compromise was originally designed to get people back into the system, so that they could begin to pay taxes again. Studies and statistics showed that the government would collect far more in revenues over the years if taxpayers were given a clean start. For all practical purposes, the new 20 percent rule conflicts with this purpose and hurts this program. Taxpayers who are under an IRS wage garnishment are already suffering from reduced income. It will be much more difficult for them to reach a solution because they presumably won't have the 20 percent to even make an offer to settle with the IRS.

It would be wise to write your Senators and Representatives in Congress if you don't approve of this new law.

Capital Gains Tax Law --For Real Estate Flippers Tax Law Makes the Difference   by G. Mundy

While housing prices have cooled in many markets, there are still some hotspots. Real estate investors are Gypsies when it comes to turning a quick sale: they will go where the home appreciation rates are still hot. In recent months they have abandoned Sacramento for parts of Arizona and New Mexico; as a result the sales rates in Sacramento have dropped considerably, along with the appreciation rate. What has not changed in any of the markets is the application of capital gains tax law.

Buying a house and then selling it after a short period may turn a profit for you, but how much of a profit depends on how the IRS views the transaction. Current law still applies a form of capital gains tax law to most home sales, with the rate depending on a couple of factors. If you owned it for less than a year, the profit will be taxed at your income tax level; for many of us that's about 35%. If you hold on to it for a year or more, the tax rate on sales profit will be at a lower capital gains rate, usually about 15%.

If and only if the home is regarded as your principal place of residence, up to $250,000 in profit - or $500,000 if you are married and filing jointly - will be exempt from the capital gains tax on home sale. In order for a home to qualify as a principal residence, you must have lived in it at least two years out of the last five.

Capital gains tax law also provides that you can defer taxes by exchanging the house you're flipping for another piece of real estate; known as a like-kind or Section 1031 exchange. The only restriction is that the property you are trading is an income producing asset and not personal property. Otherwise, you can trade a residence for a commercial property or a structure for a piece of land. The parameters are fairly broad as long as the house has been a business asset; thus the capital gains tax on home sales do not apply.

There is also a rule of moderation in this practice. If you engage in a lot of real estate acquisition and resale over a relatively short period, the IRS may look upon the sum of all that activity as a business, rather than an investment strategy. If they chose to do so, the capital gains tax law will not apply and the tax rate on your transactions will be based on the income tax index.

The leveling off in the housing market is going to take a lot of dabblers out of this business. Nevertheless, if you see continued opportunity in real estate trading it would be wise to consult your tax accountant as to the allowable level of activity and to ascertain the details for each of the rules that define this activity in capital gains tax law.
