Striking out with the tax man

Tax officials are gunning for Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, who despite spending much of the year in his posh Manhattan apartment claims Florida residency in order to avoid paying higher New York city and state taxes:

State Tax Officials Dispute Claim of Florida Residency by Jeter

By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE

ALBANY, Nov. 15 — New York State tax officials say that the Yankee star Derek Jeter claimed he lived in Florida to avoid paying city and state income taxes for several years, when he was actually living in New York, according to documents filed last week with an administrative law judge.

Mr. Jeter, one of the highest-paid players in baseball, filed nonresident income tax returns to New York State between 2001 and 2003, claiming that he lived primarily at his off-season home in Florida, which, unlike New York, has no state income tax.

But officials at the State Division of Taxation and Finance argued that Mr. Jeter’s primary residence during those years was in New York, where he owns an apartment in the Trump World Tower, near the United Nations, and has rented or owned other living space as well.

But the tax man clearly is not a baseball fan. Even back when players were making only four- or five-figure salaries, the city and state wanted a piece of the action, and would not make exceptions for those who claimed to be out of town residents.

Players and Umpires Earning $1,000 in New York Must Pay

It was ruled by State Controller Travis yesterday that professional baseball  players and umpires employed during the past season, although residents of other States, are liable to the new State Income Tax Law. His decision was made in answer t numbers of inquiries received by the Controller's office both in the city and in Albany from those interested. Baseball officials were advised that the statute requires them, acting as withholding agents, to deduct and withhold a tax based upon the amount earned by their employees within the State.

Harrison said, "'Taxman' was when I first realised that even though we had started earning money, we were actually giving most of it away in taxes. It was and still is typical. The Beatles' large earnings placed them in the top tax bracket in the United Kingdom, liable to a 95% supertax introduced by Harold Wilson's Labour government. In a 1984 interview with Playboy magazine, Paul McCartney agreed: "George wrote that and I played guitar on it. He wrote it in anger at finding out what the taxman did. He had never known before then what he'll do with your money."

In 1980, Lennon recalled in an interview with Playboy magazine, "I remember the day he [Harrison] called to ask for help on 'Taxman', one of his first songs. I threw in a few one-liners to help the song along, because that's what he asked for. He came to me because he couldn't go to Paul, because Paul wouldn't have helped him at that period. I didn't want to do it... I just sort of bit my tongue and said OK. It had been John and Paul for so long, he'd been left out because he hadn't been a songwriter up until then

Taxes are also imposed by many subnational entities. Taxes consist of direct tax or indirect tax, and may be paid in money or as its labour equivalent (often but not always unpaid). A tax may be defined as a "pecuniary burden laid upon individuals or property owners to support the government […] a payment exacted by legislative authority

La maggior parte dei wiki usa il modello CamelCase per la nomenclatura dei link, che viene prodotta mettendo in maiuscolo la lettera iniziale di ogni parola contenuta in una frase ed eliminando gli spazi (il termine "CamelCase" è esso stesso un esempio di CamelCase). CamelCase oltre a facilitare i collegamenti, induce la scrittura dei link ad una forma che devia dallo spelling standard. I wiki basati sul CamelCase sono subito riconoscibili da link con nomi come "IndiceGenerale" e "DomandeIniziali"; il termine CamelCase deriva da queste frasi che assomigliano vagamente al profilo di un cammello (in inglese camel).La maggior parte dei wiki usa il modello CamelCase per la nomenclatura dei link, che viene prodotta mettendo in maiuscolo la lettera iniziale di ogni parola contenuta in una frase ed eliminando gli spazi (il termine "CamelCase" è esso stesso un esempio di CamelCase).

I agree with you on Twitter. I resisted it for months, refusing to listen to reports of its usefulness. I couldn't have been more wrong. It is such a smooth, simple, streamlined informational sharing tool, I love that we are able to be curators of so much valuable knowledge and information shared at remarkable speed.

I think to not have a woman on the Legislative Council is tantamount to disregarding the views of close to half the population of Brunei Darussalam.
