An Inexpensive Way to Learn From the Very Expensive Mistakes of Others

I enjoy reading tax court cases because they are great way to identify what the courts are scrutinizing and what they find important. It’s also a very inexpensive way to learn from the very expensive mistakes of others. It’s a great form of leverage.

A recent tax case caught my attention. It involved a doctor who operated his practice as a sole proprietorship for several years, and then changed the structure. The new structure involved several changes that provided significant tax savings.

Two of the key changes were:

1. Putting the practice in an LLC. The LLC was owned by the doctor and a newly formed corporation (owned by the doctor).

2. Forming another new corporation (owned by the doctor) to provide management services to the LLC.

On the surface, the structure isn’t unusual. It’s not uncommon for a doctor’s practice to outsource its management function, nor is it uncommon for a practice to undergo ownership and entity changes.

The court, however, disregarded the two corporations as separate entities for tax purposes. This had a significant impact on the tax savings because all the income earned by the corporations was attributed to the doctor. At the end of the day, because the corporations were disregarded by the court, the tax result was no different than when the doctor was a sole proprietorship.

What went wrong? While this was a U.S. Tax Court case, the lessons to be learned are universal. There is a lot to be learned here about what went wrong.

The main issue the court had with the structure was that the doctor continued business as usual and changes were not made to the business operations to reflect the new structure.

Here are few of the specific findings that the court relied on in its decision:

- Neither corporation ever had employees

- Neither corporation ever paid salaries

- There was no evidence that the management service corporation ever performed the management services for which it was paid

- There was no service agreement between either corporation and the LLC – Only one of the corporations had a bank account

- Neither corporation had assets (other than a bank account)

- Neither corporation had day-to-day activity

- Assets were not retitled to / from the LLC

Make $171,000 Publishing Your Own Books – Part 6

Making easy money has never been easier. There is a ‘simple 6 step system’ created by a normal couple who made $171,000 in just 12 months. They did this with no technical skill and you can do it too.

The 6 steps are

- Find a group of clients who require your goods

- Make sure you can make a profit from your product or idea by testing it

- Developing your product… maybe an e-book

- Writing your sales letter

- Building your website and set-up a way to collect the money (no technical knowledge required)

- Monitoring and fine tuning to maximise results

So this month we will go into some more depth in – Building your website and set-up a way to collect the money

So you have done the background work. You have your sales letter ready to go, so you now need to get the page up on the web so that the world can now see what you have produced.

You will need several pages on your web presence. I would recommend the following as a minimum

Index page – this would be your sales letter you produced last month. You must make sure that this page has a button on so that clients can place an order for your product and also have links to other pages on your website.

Contact Us Page – This gives your clients your contact details. I would always suggest that you have a phone number as well as an e-mail address. By the way I would suggest that you use address obfuscation on any e-mail address you put on to the web, otherwise you will get a deluge of SPAM!

A Privacy Policy Page -

A Guarantee Page -

A Terms and Conditions Page -

A Copyright Page -

A Disclaimer Page -

Any additional pages that you think are relevant. Google likes websites that have lots of information. The more info you have on your website the higher you will rank on Google and the more traffic you will get.

Having created your page in MS Word you can save this directly out as a web page.

Packaging Machines in the Pharmaceutical Industry

The customer is manufacturing complete customized machines and production lines for high volume production of many different medical packaging systems. In order to verify the proper functioning of the production line the manufacturer is performing a quality test before the plant is delivered to the customer. The objective of the test measurement is to confirm that the equipment is working to its standards and that that the sterilisation processes is also meeting the required standards.

In the past the acceptance test measurement and documentation was based on a mainly manually data recoding process and the report was also manually generated in Excel. The customer was looking for a solution to simplify the data recoding and to automated the report generation.

The data acquisition project is based on a universal ProfiSignal application which is independent of the connected data acquisition hardware. The user can record data from the analog inputs of the Expert Key and record values from the machine PLC system via OPC server at the same time.

The data recoding application is based in measurements from dedicated thermocouple and pressure sensors which are connected directly to the Expert Key 200 unit and on temperature and pressure readings from the Siemens S7 PLC which are interfaced to the DataService Configurator via OPC Server.

The application is divided into 2 separate programs. One program is dedicated to record the data from the Expert Key unit and the machine Siemens S7 PLC via OPC server.The second program is dedicated to analyse the recoded data and to automatically generate a test report.

The interesting feature of this apparition is that the ProfiSignal Klicks application was developed in a way that the customer can record data of any hardware which is connected to the DataServiceConfigurator. The customer can connect channels from any DAQ device like Expert Key, TopMessage, LogMessage, ProfiMessage or any third party devices from (VTI, HBM, PSI; Adam Module, DataTranslation etc..) which are supported by a driver. The ProfiSignal application records data from the Expert Key hardware and reading from the PLC via the OPC interface into one HDS data file. The user can also perform an offset calibration of each channel if required. The data recoding is performed completely independently from the data analysis and report generation.

Procedures That Are Involved In Adult Payment Processing

Adult payment processing is a procedure that involves facilitating credit card transactions over the internet. As we all know adult related services falls into the category of high risk type of business. Opening a merchant account could be tough and you have to select high risk merchant processor that understands the risks involved in running an adult website. This kind of business is prone to fraud and charge backs. The first step in adult payment processing is to look for a provider. Not all banks and financial institutions are willing to provide this service. This is due the reasons mentioned above.

The next step is for the merchant to fill out application form and provide all information related to the business. After submitting the form, the merchant will have to wait for a day and somebody from the company will call them. This is your chance to get to know the company more by asking questions related to their service. One can negotiate with the rates as well. There are some providers that are willing to offer discounts. Normally they would study all the documents presented. It will take a week or two for the approval.

A provider will also check the background of a merchant including its credit history and criminal record. You can shorten the approval period if you submit all the necessary documents. As an adult merchant, expect to pay higher fees compared to standard account. This is due to the nature of your business and the risks that are involved. Normally they will ask for higher charge back fees. It can be possible that adult merchant account can be shifted to a standard account after a few years and the business has gained stability in terms of financial aspect. There are providers that are setting guidelines that would help business owners with operating under adult industry.

These can be applied even to those who are new in industry. A merchant would need to look for a provision that would allow them to switch to other companies if they are not satisfied with the features that are being offered to them. If they see much better rates, a merchant can transfer the adult payment processing. It is ideal to check out the rates that are applied on every transaction made. This is important to consider because the expense could affect the business cash flow.
