Taxation

A theoretical approach to income definition is the concern with the ability to consume. For instance, Sir John R. Hicks states:

Assessable Income (s6-1) = Ordinary income (s6-5) and Statutory income (s6-10) but not Exempt income (s6-15).

The concept of truth has changed throughout history. Many can acknowledge that the definition of truth can vary from person to person. Journalism, as a profession should accept the responsibility of printing and broadcasting the truth. It should be its main goal to obtain the accountability, transparency and to promote ethical behaviors. My comparative analysis revolves around information ethics, responsibility of spreading the truth and media transparency. The first case is about the reporter’s agreement to quote approval. Case focuses on an interview with Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin and his republican presidential contender Mitt Romney. During an Aug. 19,2012, interview with ST.

Income is the flow of cash or cash-equivalents. It can be work received (wage or salary), capital (interest or profit), or land (rent). It is a common mistake to think of income as an economic status of an individual. Income is only an amount of resources that is made in a specific period of time at work or another place. To illustrate, income can be represented by a river of money that comes and goes thought a family or an individual. For example, one day both parents have work, and another day they are both left with no opportunity to

Usually a compensation received in relation to regular business affairs is considered to be of income in nature as in the case of HEAVY MINERALS (1966) and ALLIED MINERALS (1989) where in the termination of the contracts did not affect the company in regard to its business and hence this income is assessable under s6-5 or 15-30 ITAA97. But if the same compensation is paid if there is a damage to the profit

Individuals thrive off producing income in order to meet their day-to-day needs and wants. Tax is imposed on these income producing activities to provide the government revenue. This involves identifying the various ranges of assessable income. The legal question which must be addressed is any of the income that was earned by these individuals assessable income under the Australian income tax assessment act? To answer this question, we must determine if a nexus exists between Australia and the person(s) being taxed by applying the concepts of Residency, Source and Derivation.

Ten years ago a journalist with the New York Times committed plagiarism on an article. Moreover, it was later found he previously committed plagiarism before that while employed in other writing capacities. Blair attended the University of Maryland where he studied journalism. He interned at The New York Times in 1998 and offered an extended internship. However, he declined the offer of the extended internship to complete more courses before graduating (Bailey, 2008). In 1999 Blair returned to The New York Times as an “ intermediate reporter”. Moreover, according to 30 staff members on The times a letter signed by them in 2003 reported that Blair made four serious errors as a writer and editor that brought his integrity into question

In this case, the client is operating a bakery, and he anticipates he will incur $6.000 in maintain his shop over the next 12 months. But according to the section DA 2 (1) ITA 2007, it states that deduction for any expenditure or loss to the extent that it is of a capital nature (DA 2 General limitations, 2004). Therefore, the maintenance expenditure is caught by section DA 2 (1), due to the maintenance expenditure has a capital nature. For that reason, the deferred maintenance of $6,000 is not allowed to deduct.

Therefore, it requires additional rules, such as an income level beneath which no taxes are paid, a small amount of allowable deductions and at least different for business

Maha considers this item as one of her greatest achievements since it was the first medal she received here in Canada. It must make a person extremely proud to receive an award in their first year in a brand new country. Maha carried on to tell her class that she received the Greatest Strides Award in elementary school after her recent arrival in Canada. When she moved from Saudi Arabia, it was her first time attending a school here and everything was absolutely different in the education system to her, how everything ran and how students were taught. The school she attended back in Saudi Arabia had so many differences with the schools as she said it took time to adjust and fit in. Maha soon went deeper into the subject by explaining that the school she went to, Ashgrove Public School gave out year-end awards which were the Citizenship Award, the Greatest Strides Award, and the Kindness and Caring Award. Three students from every class would receive an award. Maha finished by mentioning that this item was one she has always been and proud and will continue to appreciate this medal.
