Taxes In History: Anything Can Be Taxed!

“In this world nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes,” Benjamin Franklin once stated. The idea of taxation is as old as ancient Egyptian culture. The history of taxation practices is interesting and sometimes hilarious. During the 1st century AD the Roman emperor taxed urine. Back then, it was used for making ammonia for tanning hides and washing clothes! During the middle ages, Europe placed a tax on soap. Great Britain didn’t repeal this tax until 1835! In the 1600’s there was a tax on playing cards and dice. This tax was so outlandish that a black market of playing card forgeries was created to avoid it!

Foreign Tax Evasion- US And Switzerland Crackdown

Hiding money in offshore accounts has been a sneaky tactic of some people for many years. The US and Switzerland are now working together more closely to crackdown these tax evaders. The two countries will share more information with each other going forward. Discussions between the two became necessary after the giant Swiss Bank UBS helped thousands of US customers avoid taxes in America. "This treaty will increase our ability to enforce our tax law and will help bring an end to an era of offshore accounts and investments being used for tax evasion," said Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

US authorities have been pushing the UBS to share information on about 52,000 people suspected of tax evasion. The Swiss were avoiding the request saying it would violate their own laws, so a new protocol became necessary. UBS has already paid $780 million in fines and restitution to settle allegations of helping US citizens avoid paying taxes.

Why People Hire Me

Many of my clients end up in a tax problem situation after having a traumatic life event. Either they’ve gone through divorce, lost a job, or faced an illness either themselves or a family member, or even experienced a death in the family. They stop filing taxes or perhaps stop paying taxes. It takes a backseat in their life. So the next year they are afraid to file fearing they might “get caught”. They procrastinate and it snowballs until the IRS forces them to deal with it.

To not file a tax return is a felony. A felony is an illegal act that you can be arrested for. It’s a very serious matter. Also, when you’re talking to the IRS and filling out forms, you are signing under perjury so you must be accurate and truthful. So there are serious legal repercussions.

I help my clients get back into compliance, which involves filing the appropriate returns and getting them sent to the right place. Some people haven’t filed in nearly 10 years. Also, I negotiate settlement agreements using various strategies such as installment agreements, or offers in compromise. I also handle audits and appeals. I take care of all that for... ...read full post

Two Nasty IRS Tactics And How Your Tax Attorney Can Help

If a taxpayer files on time and is accurate in their filing, they will not have a problem with the IRS. It’s when a taxpayer is uncooperative that the IRS can get a bit hostile. Have you heard of levies and liens? I’m going to share with you what they are, how they work, and most importantly, how to avoid them.

Let’s talk about liens first. A lien secures another party’s interest in your personal or business property for the purpose of getting paid for debts owed to them. A lien can be placed by the state or also by contractors if they fail to be paid for services rendered. A lien can limit your ability to receive further credit. It could mean you cannot sell the property until the lien is removed. Your credit rating is negatively affected too. The IRS can also place a lien on your property. Once they have assessed your liability and sent you a notice regarding the amount you owe, if you neglect or refuse to pay the full amount on time, the IRS can then slap a lien... ...read full post
