Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Tax Notes reporter Benjamin Guggenheim discusses the latest tax legislation on Capitol Hill: the recently passed CHIPS and Science Act and the revived reconciliation bill known as the Inflation Reduction Act.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Within the span of just four weeks last month, Nepalese Finance Minister Janardan Sharma resigned from office but was then reinstated after he was absolved of an alleged corruption scandal. The upheaval began in early July, when Sharma faced a parliamentary investigation after he was accused of allowing unauthorized, last-minute changes to tax rates in the country’s budget. Sharma stepped down to allow for an internal investigation, which failed to find wrongdoing, and he was reinstated at the end of the month, according to Reuters. The saga has attracted a lot of public and media attention while another significant tax development has unfolded largely under the radar: Nepal is the latest country to implement a digital services tax. Under the new rules , foreign digital services providers with more than NPR 2 million in annual turnover (about $15,911) must register in the country and pay a 2% DST on their … [Read more...] about Shifting Goal Posts In Digital Taxation

It's expected that, as a leader, people come to you with a problem they want you to help them solve . And, as leaders, solving problems is something you're likely very good at. You might even really enjoy it. Plus, it feels good to help someone in need. In my book, Great CEOs Are Lazy , we called this player mode. The catch is that solving the problem for someone is exactly the wrong thing to do, as it weakens the organization. Let me explain why. Avoid Creating Lazy Thinkers If you get into the habit of solving the problems your people bring to you, you'll inadvertently train them to become lazy thinkers. The result is that anytime they hit a brick wall or a stopping place, they'll seek out the path of least resistance and bring the problem straight to you. We see this as parents when our kids come to us with every issue. Over time, we try to teach our children to at least attempt to solve their problems so they can be independent adults. The same phenomenon … [Read more...] about Build Organizational Muscle: Encourage Your Team to Bring Solutions, Not Problems

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin I've written a few times about both the value of older workers and the need for society to change how we perceive older people. This is especially so given the widely documented skills shortages across the economy in recent years. It should be hugely worrying, therefore, that the Covid pandemic has seen huge numbers of older workers leaving the workforce. In the UK alone around 300,000 extra workers aged between 50 and 65 have been identified as economically inactive since the start of the pandemic. Economic inactivity A recent study from the University of Essex explores some of the possible impacts this economic inactivity could have on the economy. The analysis reveals that while it may seem intuitive to think that those leaving the workforce are those with more financial stability, it is actually those with middle to lower-middle incomes that tend to be leaving. Indeed, the biggest rise in economic inactivity … [Read more...] about Covid Saw An Exodus Of Over 50s From The Workforce
