Football / Re: Sport Minister promises Pro League team new stadium.

« on: May 26, 2011, 11:04:48 AM »

I dunno what Anil does be smoking sometimes! As Min of Sport has he ever consider why basketball games are not played at St Paul Gym anymore? 

i hear your opinion breds but the community deserve a chance

it will help some youths in the area and provide some hope, hopefully 

     

All yuh assuming that dem yute want help. The Laveentille Technology centre underutilise. Now that same centre assesing  people who are tradesmen but have no certification u feel dem people goin?

what kinda hope building a stadium provides? and building a stadium in the vicinity of a dump makes absolutely no sense.

Any amount donated is eligible for deduction up to 30% of your income for that particular year, 50% under certain circumstances, and there is no carry over to the following year.  So again, it's just a one-time benefit.  Capital Gains of 501 (c)(3) organizations are shielded from tax but that accrues to the benefit of the organization, not the donors/founders.  As for spending requirements, that may be true of Trusts, not all charitable organizations as a whole.  Contrary to what you think, gifts are taxable as well.

Not sure if you're responding to what I said or just providing info...because:

I never said there was any carry over to the following year. I was talking about there being more than one avenue for tax benefits - tax deductions through donations, tax shields to cap gains, and deferring taxes through generation skipping.

Never said that ALL charitable organizations "as a whole" have spending requirements.

Cap gains accrue to the org for sure, but if it's your organization it's as good as your tax benefit, the alternative being taxable cap gains accruing to the individual. i.e.  Option 1- Invest yourself and incur cap gains tax Option 2- or set up a foundation and get the cap gains tax benefit through the organization (ultimately it will be a deferral if/when the foundation is dissolved/unwound)

I know that gifts are taxable.  I was referring to generation skipping to defer taxes.  Trusts & Foundations are tools used for generation skipping.

I eh know how much Yorkie and dem looking to minimize the tax bill (the more yuh have to play with the more it would make sense), but it wouldn't surprise me if they were setting up a foundation under the advice of a financial planner discussing alternatives for accumulated wealth that they have sitting around....It's not that far fetched I don't think.  It's pretty common among wealthy individuals and families who don't really care too much for positive press...
 

so US Tax Laws and Tnt Tax Laws is de same?

You ent following a what? jack and he Mafia does ALWAYS vote together... it highly unlikely they would go against each other...

look confirmation below... edit: I am actually hearing it was the japanese guy who provided the other vote... fact is, it most likely was not Jack

According to David Bond of the BBC on Twitter: "England's second vote came from Issa Hayatou - amazing when one considers he was one of the Panorama three."

« on: November 17, 2010, 10:18:39 AM »

Palos I have to tell yuh I see dat man yuh mention dey play a couple of times. Mainly with Tec. One game I remember I think was a SFA team called Paint Specialist Hurricanes. Once was against Police in an FA Cup Final. Skinner park ram up and rain falling all day.
Horse, Mitchel had Anim David pelting one set ah wild wild tackle, and connecting only breeze. Anim David get a job with Borrough Council after dat, because of all dem drain he dig in the park that night. Police had two very good players then Francoir, a left footer who play for T&T and Campbell a big stopper. Shit boy yuh know yuh players. What about Dubisson dem from Mucurapo. Good team, but not in League with Benedicts & technical

my mother is a teacher in Compre...and i went Fatima.me and all mih brothers...everytime we pass this boss.........Dubisson.mih mother and father is hadda tell me how good this boss was....
and that like many others. waste he talent and end up doin drugs and ting...he alright now.....he is take little sweat down by the Fours Roads recreation grounds...

Emma eh really waste he talent but suffered from ah serious football tabanca and yeah de drugs probably played a role. He came from a good football family. His older cousin Bing played for Tnt in the mid 70's and early 80's. Football by de Center was boss in the 70's
