US District Court Welcome's IRS new Sec 965 wealth tax. Inside the horrible decision of Moore v. US
US District Court Welcome's IRS new Sec 965 wealth tax. Inside the horrible decision of Moore v. US
The US tax code is so complicated that US Federal Judges are wholly incompetent to adjudicate tax matters. That is the claim. But seriously, how smart should we expect federal judge to be? In fact, the judge who got the result in Moore v US is probably a VERY smart person. But he was no match for the utter density and complete disaster that the US Tax Code has devolved into. The judge was must have been completely oblivious to what he signed on to. Section 965 Transition Tax -What is it really? In 2018, the IRS imposed a tax on foreign corporations based upon assets the foreign corporations held. In this case, the asset tax was the foreign corporations’ Earnings and Profits. But the IRS did not hold the foreign corporations responsible for payment of the taxes, but rather, its US shareholders. It is important to note that “Earnings and Profits” are not the same thing as “Income.” “Earnings and Profits” are assets located on a balance sheet. Meanwhile income is calculated with an income statement. Taxes on assets are called property or wealth taxes. The Court in Moore didn’t even require the taxpayers to receive any money to pay this tax bill. You can be taxed on property that isn’t really yours, in a country where you don’t actually live that you must pay with income you never received. Section 965 of the US. And now we wonder. What could be worst than this? IRSMedic Parent & Parent LLP 144 South Main Street Wallingford, CT 06492 (203) 269-6699 https://youtu.be/BQd6YODiTIg IRS Medic

Why the Glenshaw Glass Test for Income Is Total Crap and Federal Courts just do whatever they want.
Why the Glenshaw Glass Test for Income Is Total Crap and Federal Courts just do whatever they want.
"Taxation is theft." It's not just a catchy slogan. Rather, even for those who think an income tax isn't theft, this video shows still, how the income tax is defined to include things that aren't income. The test for income comes from Glenshaw Glass, a 1955 Supreme Court case, which defined income as an ascension to wealth, clealry realized over which the taxpayers has dominio. And this test is pretty much ignored. Not so much that the test is crap, it actually makes sense. But how it is it applied dilutes the word "income" into nothingness. Joining tax attorney Anthony E. Parent is John Richardson of citizenshipsolutions.ca. The two give precise examples of how the current application of the law reveals that the income tax is simply a way for the government to confiscate whatever asset they want for whatever reason. Here are some of the games the government plays: Loss limitations Tax periods games Credit limitations Phantom income Losses Currency gains PFICs Transition Tax Expatriation Tax The two also discuss how the test for income is completely ignored when it comes to the Government's pet causes. The 16th Amendment only allowed an income tax. What we have now just isn't.

Can the IRS Exit Tax be retroactive? Does IRC Section 877A go back in time?
Can the IRS Exit Tax be retroactive? Does IRC Section 877A go back in time?
Prior to 2004 a Certificate of Loss of Nationality (CLN) was not needed to renounce ones US citizenship for tax purposes. In 2004, that all changed with a law, Section 877A which now requiresd a CLN There is considerable debate whether or not Section 877A is retroactive in cases where a CLN was not issued. If a the interpretation that 877A is retro-active that would mean many US citizens are missing years of tax returns and foreign reporting. An because they would still be considered US persons, they would need to file Form 8854 and expatriate correctly,y including paying an Exit Tax, if due. One of the top experts, if not the top expert on nationality issues and how they relate the the IRS is John Richardson, Esq. of citizenshipsolutions.ca. John joined host Anthony E. Parent, Esq. of Parent & Parent, LLP a top international tax firm located in Connecticut. With them is Keith Redmond, a global advocate for the American overseas, founder of American Expatriates 2.0 Facebook. The three discuss there conclusions on why 877A is likely NOT retroactive, but why few professionals are willing to say that and give more detail to an article John wrote in 2015 on this subject at Isaac Brock Society https://ift.tt/2E8zaUl Parent & Parent LLP 144 South Main Street Wallingford, CT 06492 (203) 269 6699 info@irsmedic.com https://ift.tt/1RfwK1f https://youtu.be/xfqRLjYMozQ IRS Medic
