| Mobility, not Unified Communications, top priority for businesses | | 2008-06-17 15:13:20 | | Unified Communications (UC) is getting a lot of publicity in the tech media these days. But the big push by manufacturers to integrate chat and presence with existing communication systems may not drive sales as much as initially expected.A recent Forrester survey of 2,187 North American and European companies stated there is "confusion about the value" of unified communications for their company. It seems that UC is regarded as a "nice, but not critical" application for communication systems. In fact, UC is not even the number 1 priority for corporations, mobility is. 64% of the respondents in the Forrester survey indicate that "providing more mobility support to employees is a priority", with 23% citing it as a critical priority.Unfortunately, mobility is a trickier topic than UC for many communication systems due to the complexities of multiple cellular carriers, mobile devices, and operating systems.

| Amazon Files Suit Against New York Tax on Out-of-State Businesses | | 2008-05-01 23:00:00 | | Amazon has filed suit in New York state court seeking to invalidate the recently passed "Amazon tax", which requires any out-of-state online retailer collect sales tax on purchases if the business does at least $10,000 worth of business with in-state affiliates, even if it has no property or employees in the state. In its lawsuit, Amazon argues the law violates the Commerce Clause, Due Process Clause, and Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. They have a good case, as we previously discussed:New York's move is just the latest in a string of state efforts to abandon the physical presence rule of taxing out-of-state businesses. In 1992, the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed the rule in the Quill v. North Dakota case, holding that a state could not impose sales tax collection obligations on a company, unless the company has either property or employees in the state.

An excerpt from "Revenuers get aggressive" by Jason Method: In 2001, using the same nexus theory, Los Angeles County, Calif., unsuccessfully attempted to force the company that owns DirecTV to pay property taxes on its satellites in orbit.But some out-of-state business owners say New Jersey has become so aggressive that the tax bills have crossed over to the absurd.Closer to home, New Jersey in 2003 sent a $15,000 corporate tax bill to a software developer in South Carolina, six years after the developer sold a $695 computer program to an Atlantic City casino.Carey J. "Bo" Horne, 60, of Seneca, S.C., said he was stunned when he got the tax bill from New Jersey.

Counting the federal rate alone, the U.S. has the world's highest corporate tax rate, but including average sub-national rates (federal plus state in the U.S.), Japan edges out the U.S. for the highest-tax location.This study breaks the tax down by state, adding each state's corporate tax rate to the federal corporate tax rate. The results show that 25 states impose, when combined with the federal rate, a higher business tax rate than in any other nation. In fact:25 states have a combined corporate tax rate higher than top-ranked Japan.35 states have a combined corporate tax rate higher than third-ranked Germany.46 states have a combined corporate tax rate higher than fourth-ranked Canada.All 50 states have a combined corporate tax rate higher than fifth-ranked France.According to Tax Foundation president Scott Hodge, the study's author:This | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |

| Commercial Mortgages Specialist Helping Businesses Develop | | 2008-03-11 19:18:21 | | Businesses looking to buy property would go for a commercial mortgage. The mortgage is similar to a residential mortgage. The difference is that the collateral is a business real estate instead of residential property.

Some of the business sectors that usually require Commercial Mortgages include Nursing Homes, Industrial Units, Offices, & many more.

| Three Most Common Types of Small Businesses – Sole Proprietorship, Partnership and Private Limited Company | | 2007-12-22 12:50:00 | | Sole ProprietorshipThis is the type of business which legally the business entity is not separated from the owner. However, do not get yourself confused with the Separate Entity Concept in accounting. Usually the business is registered with government under a trade name (either with some association with the name of the owner or a different name altogether) and this trade name will represent the business entity in the conduct of its business activities.PartnershipThis is the type of business with more than one owner. All the owners are called partners. In general all the partners contribute capital to the business and share common objectives of making the business successful and share the profits generated. Generally in law, the partners may have joint liability or joint and several liabilities. However, some countries may allow partnerships in which the liabilities of partners are limited. A partnership agreement could be used to set the terms and conditions among the partners.Private Limited CompaniesSome countries allow single member limited companies to be incorporated and some require minimum two members. The clear distinction of private limited companies from sole proprietorship and partnership is the liability of members is limited to the capital invested. Another distinct feature of limited private companies is that the governing body of the companies are the board of directors. The company incorporated carries its own identity under law and can sue and be sued by others. Of course when a company is found to have guilty legally, financial penalties are imposed because it is meaningless to impose jail terms on companies. In these circumstances, the relevant individuals behind the company (usually the directors) may be penalised financially, with jail terms or both. The relationship between the companies, the members/shareholders and the directors is unique and also can be a complex one whenever there are disputes between the company with third parties or disp | | By: FreeAccountingLessons | | |

| Preparing Accounts of Small Businesses Once A Year - Tips and Pitfalls To Avoid | | 2007-12-15 23:50:00 | | Many small business owners started the businesses on their own or with minimal staff strength. Usually, the major focus of the businesses is on revenue generation and leaves the function of transactions record keeping and accounting to inexperience staff. Many business owners leave it aside until the end of the financial year or when the deadline of accounts submission to the authorities coming close. The accounts and financial statements of the business entities are prepared once a year. Please take note that this practice of recording transactions once a year is definitely not encouraged and may even contravene the law imposed on businesses in some countries with the owners unaware of this. Depending on how the accounting documents are filed and kept, the accounting personnel assigned the task of preparing the accounts and the financial statements once a year may face the following three scenarios: -First Scenario – The worst case scenarioThe owners have little or no knowledge of accounting and transactions record keeping. No accounting records or transaction records listing kept. No separate recording of receipts and payments made. All the accounting documents including receipts, invoices & etc are probably not kept in files and in a mess. Personally, I have seen cases whereby all these source documents were just being thrown into a big box throughout the whole financial year! It puzzles me how these business owners monitor the daily cash flow position of the business operations. Many of them have to rely on constantly checking the bank account balances before payments are made or just relying on the fact that the bank account are allowed to be “overdrawn” because of overdraft facility. However, bank balances obtained from banks at any particular point in time do not necessary provide a reliable bank balances of the business available for use because of unpresented cheques and uncleared deposits.
