Podcasts about income taxes

AI agents are going rogue — deleting bookings, sending unauthorized emails, and lying about it — and Blake and David trace the trend into the $3 trillion of off-balance-sheet AI commitments hiding in Big Tech's footnotes (and why accountants will get blamed when the bubble pops). They also recap what stood out at XeroCon 2026. Then Hoover Institution fellow Ben Jaros runs the real numbers on California's Prop 40 billionaire wealth tax — why the $100 billion estimate is closer to $40 billion, and whether taxing 200 people is even constitutional.SponsorsCanopy - http://accountingpodcast.promo/canopyThomson Reuters - http://accountingpodcast.promo/taxautomationOnPay - http://accountingpodcast.promo/onpayCloud Accountant Staffing - http://accountingpodcast.promo/casChapters(00:00) - Welcome to The Accounting Podcast (03:00) - Rogue AI Agents Gone Wild (07:53) - Controlling Agent Permissions (12:08) - Microsoft AI Receivables Surge (14:49) - Three Trillion Off Book Commitments (17:09) - Meta Hyperion Lease Loopholes (21:33) - Bubble Risk and Circular Financing (28:24) - XeroCon Highlights and AI Agents (32:21) - Bank Reconciliation and Roadmap Gripes (34:10) - Conference Vaporware Rant (34:37) - Billionaire Tax Preview (36:33) - Prop 40 Basics (38:40) - Revenue Reality Check (42:44) - Residency Cutoff Drama (45:01) - Wealth Tax vs Income Tax (45:52) - One Time Or Not (46:34) - Healthcare Backfill Claims (51:42) - Better Ways To Tax (55:23) - Constitutional Challenges (58:01) - Why Voters Oppose It (01:02:09) - Trial Balloon And Wrap Up  Show NotesComing soon!Need CPE?Get CPE for listening to podcasts with Earmark: https://earmarkcpe.comSubscribe to the Earmark Podcast: https://podcast.earmarkcpe.comGet in TouchThanks for listening and the great reviews!

MORE ON THE ALLEGED GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT TO UP OUR INCOME TAXES I’ve got CompleteColorado.com’s Mike Krause at 12:30 to talk about who paid to collect signatures to create a graduated income tax. We already know a huge chunk of it was laundered taxpayer dollars. Read more here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pension tax relief is one of the most useful ways to reduce tax while building long-term financial security. It helps taxpayers, business owners, company directors and higher earners make pension contributions more tax-efficiently. The challenge is that pension rules can feel confusing, especially when annual allowance limits, tapered annual allowance, carry forward, relief at source, net pay arrangements and employer contributions all come into the conversation. This episode explains the key ideas in plain English so you can understand what pension tax relief does, why it matters and where planning can make a real difference. About this episode If there was a legal way to pay less tax while building long-term financial security, most people would want to know about it. Pension tax relief does exactly that. In this episode, we look at how pension tax relief works, why it exists, how much you may be able to contribute, what the annual allowance means, what higher earners need to watch, and how carry forward can help you use unused allowances from earlier years. We also look at why employer pension contributions can be especially powerful for limited company directors and owner-managed businesses, and why understanding how your pension scheme gives tax relief matters. Why this matters Pension tax relief exists because the government wants people to save for retirement. The more people save for their own future, the less pressure there is on the state pension system. In simple terms, pension tax relief means some of the money that would otherwise go in tax can instead go into your pension pot. Mahmood describes it as the government helping you fund your future. This makes pensions a powerful part of tax planning. It is not about becoming wealthy overnight. It is about creating options, building financial security and making today's money work harder for tomorrow. For business owners and company directors, this also links naturally to wider tax-efficient reward planning. Our episode on Saving Tax with Company Benefits is a useful follow-on if you want to understand how pension contributions can sit alongside other company benefits. “Some of the money that would otherwise disappear in tax finds its way instead into your pension pot.” Key points from this episode Pension tax relief is not only for wealthy people One of the biggest misunderstandings is that pension tax relief is only useful for high earners. It is not. Pension tax relief is available to millions of ordinary taxpayers. Even if you have little or no earnings, you may still be able to contribute a limited amount into a pension and receive tax relief. The key point is that you do not need to be wealthy to benefit. You need to understand the rules, the limits and how your own pension arrangement works. How much can you contribute? Tax relief on personal pension contributions is generally linked to the lower of two figures: your relevant earnings or your available annual allowance. For many people, that is more than enough room to save tax-efficiently. However, if you are a business owner, company director, higher earner or somebody having a particularly profitable year, it becomes more important to pay attention to the annual allowance. The annual allowance includes your own contributions, employer contributions and contributions made by somebody else on your behalf. It is not a savings target. It is a limit to keep in mind so you avoid unwanted tax consequences. Higher earners and the tapered annual allowance Higher earners need to be particularly careful because the annual allowance may reduce. This is known as the tapered annual allowance. The taper can apply when both threshold income and adjusted income exceed certain levels. When that happens, the annual allowance can reduce, which means pension planning becomes more important. Large bonuses, dividend payments and employer pension contributions can all affect the calculation. That is why protective planning matters. The higher your income, the more important it becomes to check the numbers before making decisions. This connects with wider owner-director planning. Our episode on Dividends Explained: What They Are, Why They Matter and How to Pay Them is useful if you want to understand how dividends fit into director reward and tax planning. Carry forward can help you use earlier unused allowances Carry forward is a pension rule that many people overlook. If you have not used all your annual allowances during the previous three tax years, you may be able to bring unused allowances forward and use them now. Mahmood compares this to unused luggage allowance on a flight. Instead of wasting it, you may be able to use it later. Carry forward can be especially useful if your business has had a strong year, you have received a large bonus, you have received a redundancy payment, or retirement is approaching and you want to boost your pension quickly. Employer pension contributions can be powerful for business owners If you run a limited company, employer pension contributions deserve close attention. Employer pension contributions can be one of the most tax-efficient ways to move money from your business into your personal wealth. Unlike personal contributions, employer contributions are not limited by your personal earnings level, although they still count towards your annual allowance. That is why directors and owner-managed businesses often use pension contributions as part of a wider remuneration strategy. Done correctly, pension contributions can benefit both the business and the individual. They are not just pension payments. They can be part of a wider plan for extracting value from the company tax-efficiently. Relief at source and net pay arrangements Not all pension schemes deliver tax relief in the same way. Two common methods are relief at source and net pay arrangements. With relief at source, which is common with personal pensions, you pay contributions from income after tax. The pension provider claims basic rate tax relief from HMRC and adds it to your pension pot. If you are a higher-rate taxpayer, you may need to claim additional relief yourself, often through Self Assessment. With a net pay arrangement, often used by workplace pensions, contributions are taken from salary before Income Tax is calculated. Tax relief is then received through payroll, and no extra claim is normally required. The practical lesson is simple: know which method your pension scheme uses so you do not miss tax relief you are entitled to. Emma's pension tax relief example Mahmood uses Emma to show how powerful pension tax relief can be. Emma contributes £300 a month into her pension. Over a year, that is £3,600 from her own pocket. Under a relief at source arrangement, the pension contribution is treated as having basic rate tax added back, so the pension contribution becomes £4,500. The pension provider claims £900 from HMRC. If Emma is a higher-rate taxpayer, her total tax relief entitlement may be higher, and she may be able to claim the remaining relief through her tax return. For a higher-rate taxpayer in Mahmood's example, a pension contribution worth £4,500 has effectively cost £2,700 after the extra relief is claimed. That is the power of pension tax relief in action. FAQs What is pension tax relief? Pension tax relief is a government incentive that helps money go into your pension more tax-efficiently. In simple terms, some of the money that would otherwise go in tax can instead help build your retirement savings. What is the pension annual allowance? The annual allowance is the maximum amount that can generally go into your pension in a tax year while still benefiting from tax advantages. It includes personal contributions, employer contributions and third-party contributions. What is the tapered annual allowance? The tapered annual allowance is a reduced annual allowance that can apply to higher earners. If your income is high enough, your annual allowance may shrink, which can create unexpected tax consequences if not planned properly. What does carry forward mean for pensions? Carry forward allows you to use unused annual allowance from the previous three tax years, if the rules are met. It can be especially useful after a strong business year, a large bonus, redundancy payment or when retirement is approaching. Why are employer pension contributions useful for company directors? Employer pension contributions can help company...

Washington's income tax repeal initiative is now headed toward the Washington Supreme Court after a Thurston County judge upheld the ballot's Public Investment Impact Disclosure (PIID). Supporters of Initiative 645 argue the ballot language is politically biased and factually inaccurate as the appeal moves forward. Also in today's episode, Let's Go Washington officially launches its statewide campaign supporting three November ballot initiatives: repealing the new income tax, restoring parental rights in schools, and protecting girls' sports. Finally, new data shows Washington has already paid more than $565,000 in unemployment benefits to striking workers under the state's new law, with concerns growing over the long-term impact on the unemployment insurance fund.

Ryan Frost of the Washington Policy Center examines how Judge Chris Lanese, while upholding the Public Investment Impact Disclosure for IP26-645, spent the hearing making the policy case for a more progressive tax code rather than testing whether the Attorney General met the law's neutrality requirement. The judge acknowledged the initiative makes no direct spending cuts, yet the disclosure tells voters it would decrease funding for schools and health care. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-judges-own-words-expose-the-bias-in-washingtons-income-tax-repeal-impact-disclosure/ #Opinion #WashingtonState #IncomeTax #PIID #TaxPolicy #BallotInitiative #WashingtonPolicyCenter #StateBudget

August 5, 2026On August 5, 1861, President Abraham Lincoln signed a new tax into law, to help fund the US government during the Civil War, The law shifted ownership of the government to the American people, To equalize the burden and tax individuals in proportion to their ability to pay, the Republican Congress invented the nation's first income tax, By having the federal government, rather than the states, collect the tax directly, people would be supporting the United States of America, not individual states, This worked, and with their money behind the war effort, Americans were more committed to the cause, But although Republicans invented the American income tax, party leaders turned against it, starting with Ronald Reagan, Even as the national debt has risen, Republicans have argued that taxes destroy the country, In July 2025 Republicans passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, making tax cuts for the wealthy and for corporations permanent, Economists estimate OBBBA will add more than $4 trillion to the national debt over 10 years, While the cost of the war in Iran will put further strain on the economy, no wartime tax measure has been passed, But a proposal to eliminate the state income tax in Missouri was resoundingly rejected by the voters, indicating that Americans may be turning away from tax cuts as an economic strategy.Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

Missouri will decide whether to eventually do away with that state's individual income tax in an effort to better compete in the heartland. The ballot measure, titled Amendment 5, would enable lawmakers to increase and expand Missouri's sales tax with the goal of eventually replacing personal income tax. The amendment doesn't specify which goods or services would face new taxes, though Governor Mike Kehoe is against increasing levies on healthcare, real estate, or agriculture. FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Madison Alworth, FOX Business Network correspondent reporting from Kansas City, MO, who explains the pros and cons of this decision, and what Amendment 5 looks to accomplish.

On this week's Tipping Point NM Paul and Wally discuss numerous issues facing New Mexicans. Starting off, while RGF was "wrong" that ABQ City Councilor Bassan would make a third push for her massive GRT increase to put it on this fall's ballot, in reality fellow Councilor Klarissa Peña is introducing the exact same plan.  NM Dems are shifting their primary, but who pays the bill? There are numerous additional logistical challenges.  In the spirit of a David Letterman Paul and Wally go through the Top Ten reasons to eliminate NM's personal income tax. New Mexico's House GOP continues to ask (as do we) "what about the special session on rebates/income tax elimination?"

Hour One sets the tone for the show — a mix of hard news, culture war, and the ballot fight shaping Missouri's future. It opens with new strikes on Iran and a breakdown of President Trump's high-stakes strategy, plus a warning about gas prices already ticking up at the pump. From there, it's a full-throated defense of Israel against Zohran Mamdani's genocide claims and a look at how Hamas propaganda has infiltrated young minds online. Kim on a Whim brings a viral body cam meltdown that opens up a bigger conversation on gender ideology and Amendment 3. And the hour closes with a fired-up response to critics accusing support for Amendment 5 of being bought and paid for, plus a preview of an upcoming conversation with a Tennessee economic development expert on life without a state income tax. Faith, freedom, and common sense — this is The Marc Cox Morning Show.

Hour Two dives into culture, crime, and community. It opens with Rep. Jasmine Crockett's race-baiting World Cup comments and a Smithsonian hearing exposing troubling displays pushed on children. The St. Louis Morning Brief covers local vandalism, a St. Charles tiny homes debate, a new copper theft crackdown, and a restaurant caught dumping grease illegally. Nicole Murray joins with a business update and a shocking shoplifting study, alongside a fired-up breakdown of New Jersey's non-citizen voter scandal and an honest, unapologetic conversation on disciplining kids with love. The hour wraps with lighter fare in In Other News, including a one-in-15-million quadruplet birth and a viral parking lot brawl. Straight talk, strong values — this is The Marc Cox Morning Show.

Longtime friend and Tennessee economic development veteran Edward Burch joins to make the real-world case for Amendment 5. Drawing on seven years recruiting businesses to relocate to Tennessee, Burch breaks down how eliminating the state income tax became one of the biggest selling points for companies and workers alike — boosting take-home pay, driving local spending, and helping fund a $2 billion rainy day fund. He pushes back on the argument that Missouri lacks Tennessee's tourism draw, pointing to St. Louis, Kansas City, and the Ozarks as major economic assets in their own right. A compelling, firsthand look at what no income tax could mean for Missouri's future — only on The Marc Cox Morning Show.

Fox Business Network's Taylor Riggs joins for a fired-up breakdown of the socialist fantasy that double-digit investment returns should be unconstitutional, exposing how out-of-touch far-left voices misunderstand basic economics and who landlords actually are. Riggs draws a sharp line between society's creators — entrepreneurs, business owners, hardworking families — and career politicians who've never built anything but want to control everyone else's money. The conversation turns to Missouri's Amendment 5, with Riggs making the case that ending the income tax rewards work, ownership, and self-reliance instead of dependency. Plus, a candid discussion on churches weighing in on Amendments 3 and 5, and a preview of tomorrow's interview with a local pastor. Bold economics, unapologetic values — this is The Marc Cox Morning Show.

A jam-packed show covering the biggest stories shaping the nation and Missouri. The day opens with new strikes on Iran and rising gas prices, a full defense of Israel against Zohran Mamdani's genocide claims, and Kim on a Whim's dive into gender ideology sparked by a viral body cam meltdown. Hour Two exposes New Jersey's non-citizen voter scandal, brings the St. Louis Morning Brief's local roundup, and closes with lighter fare in In Other News. Hour Three delivers major interviews — St. Charles County Executive candidate Jason Law defending his viral AI ad, Heritage Foundation's Derek Morgan breaking down nationwide voter fraud, St. Louis County Prosecutor Melissa Price-Smith detailing her crackdown on gun and violent crime, and Kim on a Whim spotlighting WNBA star Sophie Cunningham's stand for girls in sports. The show closes with a tribute to the late Senator Lindsey Graham, Tennessee's Edward Burch making the real-world case for Amendment 5, and Fox Business's Taylor Riggs defending free markets against socialist attacks on profit. Faith, family, freedom, and common sense — this is The Marc Cox Morning Show, delivering the truth St. Louis needs every single morning.

Wiggins America host Ryan Wiggins joins from across the river in Illinois to back Marc's push for Amendment 5, dismantling the argument that eliminating Missouri's income tax just shifts the burden elsewhere. His proof: Florida has no income tax and a budget half the size of New York's despite similar populations, and Florida is now moving to cut property taxes too. Wiggins and Marc agree the real issue is conservatives losing confidence that Jefferson City lawmakers will actually rein in spending, not the tax cut itself. The two also dig into Van Jones' stunning CNN admission that his own party's socialist wing has gone too far, with even Bill Maher sounding more fiscally conservative by the week. The Marc Cox Morning Show closes the segment with a Ron Swanson-style reminder: keep government's hands out of your paycheck.
