Under Canadian Tax Law, there is an election for companies to defer recaptures and capital gains of property that was involuntarily or voluntarily disposed of. In this research paper, we attempt to prove that the election is a useful taxation strategy for businesses so that they are not subject to pay taxes on capital gains or recaptures until such a time where they may acquire an eligible replacement property that will help them earn business income. We will provide facts, definitions, and examples to illustrate the use of this election throughout the paper by explaining the capital cost allowance system, the offset available to business for capital gains and recaptures, the election process, the rules regarding replacing former business

In the United State we have many systems, like all others, it is separated the use of some irrelevant or untrustworthy evidence. The system that I am referring to and the one that we will be discussing in this paper is the exclusionary rule. It is the introduction of a good evidence, that it is obtained by a bad law enforcement, is most common in the United State than other countries legal system. To put it in other words, the exclusionary rule is controversial. Therefore, many experts say that it sets criminals free on minor points. In this paper, I will speak about the pros and cons of the exclusionary rule, how it is effecting the criminal justice system of the United State. In addition, I will speak and summarize the case of Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole v. Scott from 1998, this will be a great example of the exclusionary rule and the effects about them. Furthermore, I will show how this case was important with the Exclusionary Rule, and my opinion on the matter.

Management wants the sale to be reported in fiscal 20X7. The deposit ($6,000,000) was received in May 2007 according to their sales agreement, so it should be reported in 20X7 as unearned revenue because WAL still possesses the land until February 20X8. Once the sale is complete in February 20X8, the income should be reported in fiscal 20X8. After the land is sold, the remaining balance becomes Accounts Receivable until realized.

In 2013 Marianne sold land, building and equipment with a combined basis of $150,000 to an unrelated third party and in return received an installment note of $80,000 per year for five years. Of the $250,000 gain on sale, $150,000 was classified as Section 1245 gain and the remaining $100,000 was Section 1231 gain. In 2013, Marianne had a capital loss carryover of $60,000, $50,000 of which she used to offset her Section 1231 gain; she recognized no Section 1245 gain. The following year she recognized $40,000 of 1245 gain and $10,000 of Section 1231 gain which she promptly offset with the last $10,000 of the capital loss carryover. In 2015, she recognized $50,000 Section 1245 gain and no Section 1231 gain.

The new Wahoo Inc. emerged from bankruptcy on August 30, 2015, and it plans to make an acquisition within 6 months. Due to the planned acquisition, Wahoo’s revenue and profit are anticipated to increase 15% and 12% respectively. Therefore the company would prefer to preserve the NOL carryovers to offset the future taxable income. However, since Wahoo’s reorganization was essentially Type G reorganization – bankruptcy fillings, Section 382 limitation can come into play regarding the NOL it can deduct in subsequent years. The research question hinges upon the treatment of

The primary users will be the Japanese lumber company who is interested in purchasing CFCL, and the owner, Don Strom. The purchaser will depend on the financial statements to assess performance of the company. However, they will most likely focus on inspection of CFCL’s timber assets to value the company and the purchase price. Strom will be looking at the statements to ensure proper management performance, and that net income is not overstated, to reduce bonus and tax payouts. The Controller will also hold a bias to inflate net income to increase his bonus. Attention should be given to ensure his new policy suggestions are not for his own benefit, but the benefit of CFCL and Strom. Accounting alternatives and recommendations in relation to the issues and new policies will be discussed.

For example the extra charge for maintenance accumulated from last year and for this year should be equally divided and not charged to the first quarter only. Similarly, cost of relocating the Southern Paper Sioux Springs office that has been charged to the first quarter, had been the expenditure incurred last year. It should not have been included in the first quarter. No doubt these are good accounting practices but nevertheless reverting the charges to their respective results would not compromise GAAP practice. Unrealized income would be better off transferred to the next or the last quarter as the income received would not materialize until at the end of the year. Including the dividend from the company's Brazilian unit would not help increase profitability at the end of the year unless the company is assured of its profitability. As of now it needs to balance its accounts before it can estimate correct profit level at the end of the year. With regard to the obsolete inventories, there is no alternative course of action but to write-off from this

Taxation is known for causing headaches, and even more so when the regulations are altered and implementation begins in the next year. An example of taxation leading to confusion and migraine pain is the issuance of final regulations related to the capitalizing expenses related to tangible property. The issuance is known as the short hand “Repair Regs” and is related to the capitalization of costs for repair and maintenance of tangible property. Capitalizing the costs means that the tax benefit of an expense is not 100% deducted out in the year of purchase but having the item begin amortizing those costs over a period of time and slowly unwinding it out once a plumber or roofer has been called in to alleviate some of the

Demonetization is the act of stripping out a currency unit as legal tender. It happens when change of national currency takes place. The form of money in circulation is pulled out and discarded, which might or often are replaced with new notes and coins. Many a times, a country replaces the old currency with the new ones completely. There can be several reasons why a government wants to enforce demonetization. Some of them are to discourage a cash-dependent economy, to counter inflation, to counter corruption and crime (terrorism, tax evasion), to encourage trade, etc.
