Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Supreme Court does not muck around with Tax Court decisions very much. So Boechler, P.C v, Commissioner of Internal Revenue has a small but passionate group of people excited. It was a unanimous opinion delivered by Amy Coney Barrett. She managed to work in a hat tip to the late Justice Antonin Scalia, whom she clerked for and who was a pal of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, whose seat Barrett occupies. The decision is about the deadline for filing an appeal of the IRS decision in a Collection Due Process Hearing. What Is A Collection Due Process Hearing? If it has been determined that you owe money to the IRS and you don't just send them a check, you will at some point hear from the collection people. It starts with annoying mail. It may end there and if ten years goes by you are olly olly oxen free. If you are not so lucky you will at some point get some mail to the effect that they are filing a lien or intend to levy you … [Read more...] about Supreme Court Boechler Decision Cuts Some Slack In Tax Court Deadline

Elon Musk Wants The Electric Vehicle Tax Credit To Disappear; Joe Manchin Might Oblige
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Planning to buy an electric vehicle? Your net cost could depend on how successful the lobbyists of General Motors GM , Toyota, Ford and Chrysler parent company Stellantis are and whether West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin is ready to strike a deal with his fellow Democrats. Back in 2008, in an effort to jump start the electric car business, Congress created a nonrefundable tax credit of up to $7,500 for eligible vehicles–a credit which (as modified in 2009) starts to phase out once a carmaker has sold 200,000 electric vehicles. After a manufacturer hits the initial cap, the credit gets slashed by 50% for half a year and then by 75% for another half a year, before disappearing entirely. Tesla TSLA hit the total phase-out at the end of 2019 and General Motors at the end of March 2020.

Gas Taxes and What You Need To Know
Gas taxes are excise taxes that you pay when you fill up your car with gas. The federal government and all 50 U.S. states impose gas taxes, with much of the revenue raised going toward fixing highways and other infrastructure projects. State gas taxes range from just under 9 cents per gallon in Alaska to nearly 59 cents per gallon in California, though some states charge based on the amount spent rather than the volume of fuel purchased. Key Takeaways Federal and state governments levy gas taxes to help pay for road infrastructure projects. The average state gas tax is about 31 cents a gallon, though they range from less than 9 cents to nearly 59 cents a gallon.

How To Make A Gas Tax ‘Holiday’ Make Sense For The Long Term
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Yesterday, as widely expected, President Biden called on Congress to implement a three month suspension of the federal gasoline tax. Observers of all stripes have argued that the move is unlikely to offer consumers much relief, and could even be counterproductive. Economists have suggested that suspending the 18 cent per gallon tax could modestly stimulate gasoline demand at a time of constrained supply, providing a boost to consumption and padding oil company profits. Climate policy advocates worry about the carbon emissions impact of subsidizing consumption. And given the role of the gas tax in supporting the federal Highway Trust Fund, others are raising red flags about starving infrastructure investment of much needed revenue. Still, it’s understandable that policymakers feel compelled to take action as U.S. gasoline prices soar to record highs, threatening the broader economic recovery. It now seems quite … [Read more...] about How To Make A Gas Tax ‘Holiday’ Make Sense For The Long Term
The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women: Redefining The Face Of Power In 2021
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The thing that immediately jumps out on this year’s list of the World’s 100 Most Powerful Women is who is now at the top — and who is not. Serving an astonishing 16 years at the helm of Europe’s most powerful economy, German chancellor Angela Merkel has long reigned supreme on Forbes’ list. As her tenure draws to a close, does her departure represent a glaring void or bring into sharp relief the changing nature of power itself? The answer is both. As women around the world continue to disproportionately bear the pandemic’s burden and rise to the challenge of steering us toward recovery, one trend that this year has accelerated and intensified: power now extends beyond traditional titles and can be exercised effectively and impactfully in unconventional ways. Now more than ever, our annual ranking reflects that. New Faces Of Power So who is #1 this year?

The ‘Red Tax’: The Air Force’s Workaround for Fewer Aggressor Aircraft and Pilots at Nellis AFB
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Colonel Scott “Manual” Mills has been tasked with managing the reactivation of the Air Force’s 65th Aggressor Squadron (AGRS), the first “red air” squadron completely equipped with F-35s.
