Removing harmful subsidies in Thailand
A comprehensive UNDP BIOFIN study found that around $6.28 billion in national budget spending was allocated to harmful subsidies in fiscal year 2021 to 2023 in Thailand. These funds were used to support rigid infrastructure projects that had a negative impact on river and coastal ecosystems at Mrigadayavan Palace is located on the Gulf of Thailand. Such subsidies were often justified as necessary for agricultural irrigation or the promotion of local tourism. However, they have done more harm than good, both ecologically and economically. Learn how BIOFIN proved ineffectiveness of the subsidies and helped remove them.

    Нужно каждому человеку готовить свой эдем на земле, заложить сад в юном или мододом возрасте и пусть себе растёт пока ты занять на какой нибудь государстаенно и обшественно важной работе, потом с появлением семьи содить огород и завести птицу, а выйдя на пеньсию заниматься этим делом по полной обеспесивая своих внуков натуральной пищей, излишки реализовывать. Нужно перестать быть потребителем нахимиченной отравы от госудорства и кормить себя самим.

  • @Children-u9i

    Мало кто об этом задумывается, госудорство ссср которое в первые годы становления прибегло к радикальным мерам, что бы обеспечить безопасность власти от бунтов и контрреволюций и дабы обеспечить городское население хлебом репресивными методами ограбило сначало свой русский народ и приобретя иружие пристурило к отьёму пищи у всех остальных народов ссср, за счет казахстана обрекщих голодомору кормили жителей ленинграда, но им это вернулось бумирангом, возмездием, Божьей карой в годы оккупации фашистамт. Нет у простых обывателей понимания причинно следственной свызи того, что они творят и того, что их потом постигает, к сожалегию. Таких примеров можно приводить множество. У государства в своей политике нет таких понятий как мораль, совесть, оно не руководствуется тем без чего не обходится отдельный порядочный человек и тут как раз и возникает конфликт между человеком и государством, кагда госудорство для достижения своих целей действует как террорист, а человек ничего не в силах противоставить. Государство кормившее население петербурга перерабатанным субстратом из человеческих трупов давно показало себя, а сейчас в мирное время население страны кормят техническим пальмовыи маслом вместо натурального молочного, это один из способов геноцида здорового сельского населения и преврашения в больных горожан, но зато подконтрлллных и завистмых от государственных управленцев, ведь сельчанина независимого в еде трудно приручить, придется опять "раскулачивать". Народ раболепный вот в чём проблем проблема.

    SYNDICATED CONSERVATION EASEMENTS I have and do advise anyone who is considering entering into a syndicated conservation easement transaction today: do not even think about it. The litigation costs - let alone the time and energy - of a battle with the IRS simply cannot be understated. As a tax controversy and tax litigation expert witness who has never lost a case, I represent clients who have involvement with conservation easements. It is because of that representation, however, that no matter how much I think a particular conservation easement case has a very good chance of being decided in favor of the taxpayer, I know that such a victory may be Pyrrhic at best. Anyone considering whether to settle or fight in a conservation easement case should carefully consider the financial and emotional cost of litigation when evaluating a possible settlement. As I’ve said before, fighting the IRS can take an emotional and physical toll on a person. Contact me, Lance Wallach, at 516-236-8440 or Wallachinc@gmail.com before the IRS contacts you.

    The IRS has repeatedly warned that partners involved in targeted syndicated conservation easements face the imposition of penalties, which could include: · An accuracy-related penalty under section 6662 (calculated in many cases at a 40 percent rate) · Alternatively, an accuracy-related penalty under section 6662A (calculated at either the 20 percent rate or 30 percent rate in the case of a non disclosed transaction). · The 75 percent civil fraud penalty under section 6663, in appropriate cases.

    The IRS previously identified certain syndicated conservation easements as “listed transactions” under Notice 2017-10-specifically, transactions for which investors in pass-through entities receive promotional material offering the possibility of a charitable contribution deduction worth at least two and half times their investment. Today’s release indicates that for many of these transactions, the deduction taken is significantly higher than 250% of the investment. Syndicated conservation easements were included on the IRS’s 2019 “dirty dozen” list of tax scams to avoid. Contact Lance Wallach before it's too late 516-236-8440 wallachinc@gmail.com

According to the announcement, coordinated audits are being conducted throughout various examination divisions of the IRS. At the same time, the IRS Criminal Investigation division has criminal investigations underway in this area. Recently, the IRS has confirmed that 80% of taxpayers under audit for their micro-captive insurance have settled with the IRS. This has only fueled the position of the IRS, and it has now announced that 12 new IRS audit teams have been established. If you are in a captive or have use a conservation easement you must act quickly. Lance Wallach has helped hundreds of people in these plans fight the IRS and get their money back from the promoter that sold these scams. 516-236-8440.

    On Monday, December 21, 2020, Stein and Corey Agee of Atlanta, Georgia entered guilty pleas in federal court to conspiracy charges related to their roles in syndicated conservation easement transactions. These are the first guilty pleas related to the continuing IRS and Department of Justice criminal investigations across the country pertaining to easement transactions. In December 2017, the IRS issued Notice 2017-10, designating certain syndicated conservation easements as “listed transactions,” which are subject to significant scrutiny. The IRS has since announced syndicated conservation easement transactions as an area of focus for enforcement, by launching a Large Business & International Division (“LB&I”) compliance campaign in September 2018 and by including these transactions on the IRS’s annual “Dirty Dozen” list of tax scams in 2019 and 2020. In November 2019, with IR-2019-182, the IRS announced a “significant increase in enforcement actions,” explaining that coordinated examinations were being conducted by three IRS divisions: LB&I, Small Business & Self-Employed (“SBSE”), and Tax Exempt and Government Entities (“TGE”). The IRS also noted that it was working closely with the Department of Justice to pursue wrongdoers. The IRS explained they would be casting a broad net, pursuing those who promoted, assisted (e.g., appraisers and return prepayers), or participated in the transactions. Increased enforcement has resulted in many IRS victories in conservation easement cases. On October 1, 2020, IRS news release IR-2020-228 emphasized the IRS’s continued efforts to combat abusive syndicated conservation easement transactions. Lance Wallach has received hundreds of phone calls to fight the IRS and sue the promoters of these easement scams. call 516-236-8440. As an expert witness Lance Wallach has never lost a case.

    Well, I appreciate this webinar. I would also ask you few questions about Green Bonds (GB): - since the demand for this category is very high, this will make prices go higher, is this the cause of having higher yields compared to the conventional bonds ? - green bond premium ( higher returns than conventional bonds ) occurs in all investment sectors ? (energy efficiency, transportation... etc)
