Podcasts about black economy

This week on CounterSpin: Corporate economic news can be so abstract that it's disinforming even when it's true. The big idea is that there's something called “the U.S. economy” that can be doing well or poorly, which obscures the reality that we are differently situated, and good news for the stock market, say, may mean nothing, or worse, for me. A people-centered press corps would spell out the meaning of economic “indicators,” not just in terms of their impact on different communities, but in relation to where we want to go as a society that has yet to address deep historical and structural harms. A new report on the current state of the Black economy takes up these questions. We hear from its co-authors: Dedrick Asante-Muhammad is president of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. Algernon Austin is director of the Race and Economic Justice program at the Center for Economic and Policy Research.     The post Dedrick Asante-Muhammad & Algernon Austin on the Black Economy appeared first on KPFA.

Assistant Commissioners Michael Morton and Peter Holt join Tax InVoice podcast host David Jepsen to talk about the shadow economy, what types of activities form the shadow economy and how it affects the Australian community. The shadow economy, also known as the cash economy or the black economy, refers to behaviour which involves under-declaring income, things like paying staff cash in hand or under the counter or sham contracting. Shadow economy behaviours also include trading in illicit tobacco, illegal drugs or counterfeit goods, ABN, GST, duty fraud and phoenixing.Small businesses and their tax agents can access the Reported transactions service on ATO Online platforms to view the third-party data that we hold on taxable payments, government grants and business transactions through payment systems. This provides transparency about the data that has been reported to the ATO about business income and supports small business owners to meet their tax obligations.As the shadow economy accounts for around $11 billion in lost revenue every year, if you know someone who is or suspect to be involved in shadow economy activities, you can make an anonymous tip-off by calling us on 1800 060 062 or visiting ato.gov.au/tipoff.For more information visit:Shadow EconomyMaking a tip offReported transactions in ATO onlineATO podcast in your language

In this episode we discuss the history of the Black economy. How can we know where we're going if we don't know where we have come from? Much of what is happening in Black communities has a historical precedent, some that reach back to Jim Crow. In order to fight for more than just a seat at the table it's important to know what exactly we're fighting. ○ In this episode I cover: ■ History of the Black economy starting …(insert what point you want to start with) ■ The Civil Rights Act 1964 and impact on the Black economy ■ Current day, where are we and where are we going?

Following the murder of George Floyd by the Minneapolis Police Department in May 2020, national attention has turned to systemic racism within the United States, specifically for Black people. Some may wonder what racism has to do with finances, but the answer is everything. Systemic racism is still rooted in all aspects of our society today, and progress is still needed for Black Americans to have true equality.Take employment for example:Studies show that companies are more likely to call back a candidate who has a name that's more commonly associated with White people.Black Americans are more likely to be unemployed or have low-paying jobs compared to White Americans. That's in part due to education disparities. But studies show Black workers earn less than White workers even when they have the same education.There's also the racial wage gap: the Economic Policy Institute says that in 2017, Black men made about 70 cents for every $1 their White counterpart made. The gap is especially large when it comes to Black women, who make 62 cents for every $1 a White man makes, according to the National Women's Law Center.This is just one example. Systemic racism has impacted housing, education, wealth, health care, criminal justice, policing, and voting. There's no simple fix to reversing centuries of discrimination. But understanding how pervasive it is, is step one.George Floyd's murder may not have ever occurred if systemic racism didn't also affect finances. As Katie mentions during the show, the Minneapolis police were originally called because a counterfeit $20 had been used, and as the owner of Cup Foods has told numerous news outlets, he was not sure George Floyd knew the money was fake and that law enforcement normally would stop by the supermarket and pick up the counterfeit currency.Regardless of whether George Floyd knew the money was counterfeit, it should have never been a death sentence. As Mark McCoy, a 44-year-old white archaeology professor at Southern Methodist University wrote: “George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.”Joining us on the show to delve deeper into the very-large topic of Racism + Finances is Michelle Jackson, host of the "Michelle is Money Hungry" podcast and author of a blog and website of the same name.

True equality comes with economic prosperity. The Compassionate Capitalist Podcast will explore the history of black enterprise, and government policies intended to aid in economic prosperity, and the racist practices that created barriers and obstacles to African American prosperity so that wealth and education gap which exists today has its roots dating back to the late 1800.  History shows time and time again how naive, well intentioned white people, in the spirit of compromise, released authority and control to other white people that had a sole intent to harm and hinder black people from achieving equality - socially and economically.  There are many examples of progress being made and initiatives seeking to grow black entrepreneurship, wealth creation, and reinvestment into the communities that have been neglected and abandoned.   As we look forward with these new sources of funding and entrepreneur development, we must also look back to see how to fix the fissure that over a 100 years of systemic racism has caused in our communities.  If you are opposed to giving hand outs, then give a hand up.  Work to get the loopholes that enable racists to harm and prevent the success and empowerment of people of color out of our financial, judicial, and legislative systems.

Welcome Back to another episode of Money Boosting Mondays. In today's episode, I provide an update on my credit score. Wooohoo! I also do a recap of my debt repayment goals. There is a bit of discussion about various financial options to assist with the goal of becoming debt-free, and the importance of financial literacy. At this time, the Black Community and others around the world are responding to the Black Lives Matter Movement. Black men and women are dying at the hands of police officers daily. The incidents are not declining although there are protest happening around the world. The issue of racism in the justice system, the education system, healthcare, housing, and other areas of life is overwhelming. The structures in these systems that allow such behaviours to be justified will take years to improve. The one thing we can focus on ourselves is economic growth within the Black Community. I play a clip from Professor @kein America who shares her views of the importance of circulating our money in the black community. I stand in solidarity with her statement. I share part of an article in the Toronto Star that mentions the Pan African Credit Union that is in the process of being formulated to provide us here in Canada our own financial institution.

Small Biz Matters – a half hour program each week where you can work ON your business rather than IN it.with Alexi Boyd, broadcaster, advocate and small business owner.Date: 14 April 2020 The Government has announced a $130 billion JobKeeper payment to help keep more Australians in jobs and support businesses affected by the significant economic impact caused by the Coronavirus. Around 6 million workers will receive a fortnightly payment of $1,500 (before tax) through their employer. It’s intention is to ensure employees and employers remain connected and promises to assist businesses restart quickly when the crisis is over. We’re all about answering your questions here on Small Biz Matters. Many of you want to know about the timing of the stimulus package, the amount you can expect and the mechanisms the government will be using to ensure the right businesses get the right amount. Will it be fair? Will it take a long time? And of course the HOW will it work? We have a powerhouse line-up today: Kate Carnell is the Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman fighting for small business and some may argue responsible for many of the stimulus measures and later at 9:30am, Deborah Jenkins is Deputy Commissioner with the ATO - the agency responsible for administering and distributing the funds to you, the small business owner. Questions for Kate Carnell: Many small businesses have swiftly pivoted their roles and responsibilities in recent weeks. No doubt you’ve been doing the same as head of ASBFEO; why is the role of advocate for small businesses in Australia more important than ever? Generally who do you engage with and has this changed? Who do you work closely with? When these big decisions are made on behalf of small business; who is at the table and what role does ASBFEO play? What sort of queries is your office getting from small businesses as they seek support? Have these changed? What do you believe will be the focus to support small business in the next 1-2months in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic? Questions for Deborah Jenkins: What is the ATO doing to support businesses experiencing a downturn or difficulties as a result of COVID19? How does the cash flow boost work (generally) Who is eligible for the cash flow boost? What about sole traders? Tell me about the timing of the cash flow boost? What about those businesses who have a lodgment deferral in place due to the bushfires etc What can you tell me about JobKeeper? What should small biz do who are overwhelmed / need support / need more time to lodge / pay / mental health issues? Can small businesses get early access to their super? Tell me more about the extension to the Instant Asset Write-Off Deborah Jenkins is Deputy Commissioner, Small Business at the ATO. As part of this role she has responsibility for management of the Goods and Service Tax (GST) product for the ATO and the ATO’s Black Economy program of work. Deborah and her team work in partnership with tax practitioners, business, industry bodies and other organisations to create an environment that supports sustainable and viable small business to thrive. Across the ATO she has responsibility for the small business experience, as well as engaging with, educating, assisting and guiding taxpayers through contemporary products and tailored services. She has a strong focus on making it easy for small businesses to operate using digital products and services. She was previously Assistant Commissioner, Indirect Tax looking after GST interpretative assistance and financial services risk. Prior to joining the ATO, Deborah was a partner at a large advisory firm where she advised domestic and international clients across all industries on GST related matters. A passionate and dedicated professional, Deborah has previously been named as one of the International Tax Review Leaders for Australia. She also has multinational experience through her work in both New Zealand and Europe. In New Zealand she worked for both the public and private sectors.

The Black Economy Taskforce estimates that the black economy is costing the Australian community as much as $50 billion, which is approximately three percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In order to better protect the economy, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) introduced the Taxable Payments Reporting System (TPRS) for businesses providing security, investigation or surveillance services as of July 1st, 2019. To help us understand how the TPRS scheme works, who it effects and what people need to do, we spoke with Marcus Chew, Director of TRPS at the Australian Taxation Office.

Tax Wrap speaks with Bill Mavropoulos, partner at VT Advisory, about whether we're in tin foil hat territory or not (regarding DPNs including GST, cash transaction limits, and e-invoicing)

Welcome to Finance and Fury In today's episode, I thought it was important to cover Currency Bill - Might have seen in the news – headlines about the $10k transaction – Currency (Restrictions on the Use of Cash) Bill 2019 – what we are talking about – had first round through Parliament Goes deeper - Talked about this topic last year in October – Cashless Society episode – link to episode Policy is trying to control behaviour – by making the undesirable activity illegal – regardless of validity or effect Gov wants all money accounted for – which is far easier when it is electronic rather than cash based – A lot to unpack in this – you might have seen this reported on in the news – give a quick recap on the bill – Then go through why these extreme measures are needed to help get out ‘black market’ economy under control – outrageously high when compared to 0% of GDP, at around 2%-3% of GDP - being satirical (later) Quick overview of the bill – Now - people could be jailed for two years and fined $25,200 – if you make a purchase or sale for more than $10,000 in cash in one transaction. Read most of the draft legislation - called the Currency (Restrictions on the Use of Cash) Bill 2019 if you are interested in reading the full thing   Under the proposed law - all cash transactions between businesses and individuals would be limited to $10,000 Any amount over this would be considered criminal – the same proposed changes announced in the 2018-19 budget we quickly ran through in an episode briefly a while back now – but now we have more details – Penalties = jail time and fines would apply to both the individual and the business part of the transaction. There are a couple of exemptions to the cash ban. The $10,000 cash limit would not apply to individual-to-individual transactions, such as the private sale of a second-hand car. The limit also wouldn’t apply when depositing or withdrawing money from a bank. The reason given for this bill is to crack down on the black market economy - The argument for doing so is based on the numbers provided by the 2017 Black Economy taskforce report, which say as much as 3% of Australia's GDP – some $50 billion – could be getting lost to the black economy But these numbers don't stand up to any serious scrutiny - the taskforce itself plainly says the 3% figure is just a guess - "We acknowledge that this conclusion is a qualitative one" and the figures "should be taken as indicative only" - no actual evidence on the size of Australia's black economy - $50bn is a guess – when Look at OECD countries – no 3rd word African countries – we are well below average of just above 5% to GDP – Aus is about 2-3% - but this figure is essentially a guess – if the Gov knows about it, it isn’t black market – Where did the recommendations for this Cash Act come from? Came from the 2017 Black Economy Taskforce report – same KPMG report where the estimated size of the black market economy came from – which increased by 65% from 2012 (OECD report) to 2015 (KPMG report) this cash ban is a recommendation is part of this report – provided by one of the big four global accounting firms – KPMG – which also has conducted research to provide supporting evidence for their recommendations Interesting – company recommending the policy that will profit them, along within their industry – If this goes through, I’m sure that Mastercard and Visa, banks, etc will be very happy and might choose to choose KPMG to do more consulting or accounting work for them – I might be paranoid but that seems suspicious Irony of this report - KPMG and probably most major financial institutions (even our Big 4 banks in Aus) are the biggest perpetrators of facilitating tax evasion and money laundering - perpetrated by their clients in multinational banks, corporations – along with the billionaires who own/run each of the banks or companies There are a lot of cases in the past few years of illegal activity by banks, in most cases knowingly and just turning a blind eye – they pay the fines – say sorry – gov gets a bit more money to grow – shareholders suffer – CEO pays seem to not be affected – GFC – too much risk and straw breaking back – CEO bonus after bailouts using government funds – which can only be paid back through taxing the population Exposes the subtle expropriation the socialise loses, which privatising the profits The outcome of the recommendation is so that the individual to small business cash transfers are eliminated overtime to start implementing a cashless society – death by 1,000 cuts If this cash restriction is placed into law - it has been drafted so that the exemptions to the ban, such as for withdrawing cash from a bank, can be removed by the Minister at any time – therefore, at any point once this is in place the government can decide to ban cash transfers between individuals above $10k, or placing restrictions on the ability of Australians to access their own cash through withdrawals or transfers While our cap is at $10k based around older report – KPMG are already lobbying for the limit to be reduced to $2,000 – putting new legislation into law can be a lot harder than minor amendments to one detail within the other 200 pages. We seem to have another situation a policy being entered into parliament by either pay is essentially a template forwarded to them by one of the companies that the legislation is meant to regulate If you are Microsoft – Massive company, diverse revenue streams, brand, etc. – plus profits after R&D – hard for some tech companies to achieve – it actually helps you long term to have AI employment taxed like Bill Gates said that he might be for. They can afford it, they would have fired people in the process anyway, so wages might not go down by much – put if productivity goes up and no other companies who are competitors can afford the AI employees to compete – keep moving in the same direction we have been for over 100 years – the consolidation in size and market share of a few companies. There does need to be a speed limit to this though – Gov in the US did a decent job of this via the Sherman Anti Trust act – monopoly busting of the ‘oligarchs’ like Standard Oil. But they only reason this legislation worked is that it was enforced – it is still law – so why does Google have a much higher market share and monopoly powers than almost any company since the Dutch East India Trading company Can't pronounce in Dutch – VOC for short – in today’s terms – just under $8trn value – to this day no other company has been as big or powerful – owned nations and armies – 70k employees Not to mention the 10s of thousands of slaves – perspective – Apple, Alphabet (Google), Microsoft, Amazon, FB, Exon Mob, Bank of America, plus the next 12 behemoth companies come to about $8trn in valuations How can one company get so big? Form of Mercantilism that was used a lot under colonial days – Companies are given barriers of protection or monopoly contracts of trade or sale, exemption from tax, etc. Honestly – looking at it – Globalisation is similar however now we have the internet and don’t have sail ships and cannons – multinational company which help to provide direction to the politician in return for either donation, future job, whatever nepotistic arrangement can be thought of Human behaviours change to adapt to the environment – Centrelink with Gifting – If you gift $10,001 p.a. for 3 years it will be counted towards assets still – but do $9,999 for 3, technically below the thresholds – a difference of $2 p.a. If it goes down to $2 transactions, start investing in a lot of Dollar Stores to laundry the illegal cash – criminals by nature adapt to get around the laws – while the vast majority of the population is law-abiding – don’t want to be a criminal so will follow new laws – regardless of how absurd Every new law creates a new class of criminal The real outcome of this will be to punish those who are doing the right thing and not involved with the black market, and then those that are will just start billing at $9,999 a pop – Criminals are called criminals for a reason – they aren’t doing what the laws say already – so what is capping the transaction limits on businesses going to do in the grand scheme of things when the black market will change one small thing, might cost 30% margins to launder money but still around same rates as companies are meant to pay Not only will this have very little effect on the black market – the justifications don’t stack up to this level of measure – the Black market economy – Funny thing is – looking back in history – every time there is a black market in anything, some people are making money out of it – the more money the better the economy – but only if it is locally spent – Miami during the 80s with the Cocaine boom – mass inflow of untaxed cash – more than dealers could spend – as they spent at legitimate businesses – cars, clothes, houses, etc. – Mini economic boom due to local illegal cash velocity – modern – global transfers to lower tax environment – so illegal activities domestically lead to money disappearing, not being laundered and spent back into the economy – Don’t take this as an endorsement of illegal tax evasion, money laundering, etc. – but how different is it to spending $25m on lawyers, structures and offshore conduits or sink letter box offices in other countries to do it ‘within the regulations’ – versus money laundering at a cost of $25m in handling fees – no tax either way for Gov – who this bill is for How is this going to help? Thankfully the reports from Gov have calculated the potential benefits of the bill The "closest thing" to calculable benefits is a speech where it was said that implementing the recommendations of the black economy taskforce "could bring in $5.3 billion over the next four years" he points out. take the yearly average - equates to about $1.325 billion per year in additional taxes on GST, stamp duty, etc. Mostly Government transaction costs avoided Australians use credit cards to purchase $1bn of G&S every single day – approx. $365bn p.a. Something that probably isn’t taking into consideration is that for each dollar transacted via credit card – there are merchant fees charged by the financial institutions = 0.87 cents for every dollar on average – as a rough estimate – we are paying just under $9m per day in credit card transaction fees = $3.5bn p.a. This bill does a similar thing to most regulation post 1960 - granting monopoly protection through additional barriers - for banks this is their revenue stream through fees on transaction options being limited and they happen to provide the remaining legal options – economic term for this is ‘rent seeking’ or extracting from the economy for no positive output. I remember once upon a time when all credit card charges were added on top of the purchase amount – go into a store and cash or card are the same (except AMEX) - Businesses made the decision to price everything at the CC level to avoid the arguments with customers over why they have to pay extra – More regulation = unintentionally cementing a bank monopoly on transactions and economy gets very lopsided = all for the sake of a $1.3 billion annual increase in the Government's tax take? Or even to try and swat at a non-existent black economy problem? Just another layer on the price control policies for the economy – setting caps or floors But the gains for Banks in fees, that the billions in CC fees each year isn’t even scratching the surface on the total volume of financial leverage behind the scene – Modern economy has innovated to continually scale up the value that flows through the financial system - Foreign remittances, derivatives, securities, loans, structured financial products –these are just the tip of an iceberg. I know that most people may be thinking to buy BTC now – blockchain has great potential in emerging as a competitive threat to financial institutions – I think the Gov also thought of that: This policy is in an effort to crack down on the "black economy" -may be extended to cryptocurrency First version of the bill specifically excluded cryptocurrencies from this limit, but now shadow assistant treasurer Stephen Jones has said the law should be extended to cryptocurrencies – "If the motivation is genuinely looking at addressing fraud, tax avoidance, terrorism, and criminal activities then we should look at all of the currencies that are likely to be subject of that," said there is bipartisan support for this – in politics – bipartisan support is a scary word – means they all mostly support, regardless of party – Have the power to regulate crypto as well – AUSTRAC– regulation terrorism and money laundering/tax avoidance Banning cash transactions over $10,000 will not end the tax evasion and money laundering of the “black economy” The known outcome is removing the right to privacy in financial affairs through reporting regulations, reducing you available of cash transfers along with future limits on withdrawals, creating a situation limiting any escape to policies such as “bail-in” and negative interest rates This is a big topic – and Two big things I haven’t really seen mentioned – but come into play Next Monday – go into how the Bail-in laws fit in, along with negative interest rates – This policy controls behaviour of forcing larger amounts of cash to be transferred/stored by banks If you cant withdraw cash – then it is sitting there either getting taken to bail out a companies debt or now the bank is charging you to deposit money (not to mention inflation) Also, run through options to preserve capital – look at other forms of money – historical money – due to this legislation having the capacity to be a sign of identity regulation on Crypto markets, won't be BTC or others sorry.

Small Biz Matters – a half hour program each week where you can work ON your business rather than IN it.with Alexi Boyd from Boyd Office Management ServicesDate: 27 November 2018 I was proud in October to represent Small Biz Matters at the ATO's Protecting Honest Businesses seminar at Haymarket where I interviewed Braden Powell, Director of Small Business Assurance. He explained the importance of understanding the Black Economy and how to avoid it. Welcome to the show Braden. As the ATO states: Most people and businesses are honest and compete fairly.There are however, some that deliberately hide income to avoid paying the right amount of tax or superannuation. One of the ways they do this is by not recording or reporting all their cash income or electronic transactions.This is what we call the cash and hidden economy and it’s not fair.Those who participate in the cash and hidden economy are disadvantaging the community, honest taxpayers and honest businesses by not competing fairly.Over 85% of Australians believe it's unfair to use cash to avoid paying their fair share of tax. The interview Q’s: What is the purpose of these business visits the ATO is running across Australia? What is the Black Economy & how does it impact business and the wider economy? Why is the ATO visiting these locations?Why these areas specifically around the country? Both cities and country are being targeted What have you found in your previous visits? What should small business owners expect during a visit?How will they take place and what can businesses expect when the ATO comes knocking? Are they different from an audit? What resources are available for small businesses and where can people find more information if they would like it?

The Trump Administration under Attorney General Jeff Sessions has embarked upon a witch hunt for white students in America that have been discriminated against by colleges and universities in admissions because they have accepted African Americans as students. A Task Force has been organized to research whether or not these cases exist, with the result that the college or university will be prosecuted by the Justice Department. Rather then investigate the already known cases of racial discrimination against black people where evidence already exists, this Justice Department would rather seek to create a case, then follow the case. Similarly, the Task Force on Voting, searching for something that doesn't exist, to rally their white racially conscious base, to galvanize a racist segment in our country. The fear mongering that Trump engages in to fuel and stir already frayed relationships among the races is the exact demagoguery we cannot accept from someone who is supposed to be the leader for the entire nation, not just its white citizens. Today, Black America must stand and declare, we "RECLAIM OUR TIME!" We Reclaim Our Legacy, Our History, and Our Future in this country and we are no longer going to allow a race baiting, narcissistic, test tube baby, to dictate to us, who, what when, where, why, or how we do it. We must re-establish the power of the Black Vote, Black Economy, Black History and burn the path for our Black Future! We, the people, Black America, "Reclaim Our Time!"

Chair of the Black Economy Taskforce, Michael Andrew, talks with CPA Australia following the release of the taskforce's interim report which is now out for comment.  The black economy refers to people who operate entirely outside the tax and regulatory system or who are known to the authorities but do not correctly report their tax obligations.  Participation in the black economy penalises honest taxpayers, undermines the integrity of Australia's tax and welfare systems and creates an uneven playing field for the majority of small businesses doing the right thing.  As the economy changes in nature towards being a more services based economy, the Taskforce is reporting seeing an acceleration in the Black Economy with significant ramifications for the broader tax system.

The team talk about the state of the "black" economy, and what is being done to fix it, including measures just announced in the Federal Budget.

On tonight's episode we will be addressing a much needed topic of conversation. It has been said that it is hard for black people to get alone with each other. So is that one of the reasons  why  we don't  support  each other as well? Is this the reason why some black owned businesses do not last? Should a all black organization receive funding from a white organization or businesses? If we were taught  by all of our master  teachers  to do for self why would we allow a white organization to fund us? It seemed to be true that we will support every other race and their businesses but our own self & kind. Come on family and join us as we talk about this problem and try to find a way to solve this problem.347-850-8030 is the call in number.
