Podcasts about Tax exemption

Think you understand taxes, citizenship, and your legal identity? Think again. In this mind-bending episode, Craig sits down with legal researcher and educator Brandon Joe Williams to explore the provocative world of legal loopholes, sovereignty, and tax-free living. From squaring off with the Employment Development Department to establishing foreign trusts, Brandon's personal journey is as unconventional as the legal theories he unpacks. Together, they dive deep into topics like: Why Brandon believes taxation is optional How credit cards might actually be tools for generating currency Whether you're truly a U.S. citizen—or just think you are But don't worry—this isn't all dense legalese. Brandon blends complex ideas with humor, analogies, and pop culture references that make the fringe feel surprisingly accessible. You'll hear wild terms like “fleshy currency manufacturing devices” and come away questioning things you've always taken for granted. Whether you're a legal theory junkie, a freedom-seeker, or simply curious about how deep the legal rabbit hole goes, this episode will challenge your assumptions and expand your perspective on sovereignty, money, and personal power. Disclaimer: This isn't legal advice. It's a radical exploration of alternative viewpoints that sit at the edge of mainstream understanding. Proceed with curiosity—and maybe a healthy dose of skepticism. Ready to rethink the system? Press play and prepare to see the legal world like never before.

Send us a textIs this the twilight of the golden age of credit unions? On the show to discuss exactly that question is Jim Blaine, the now retired longtime CEO of SECU, the second biggest credit union in the country.  Blaine may be retired but he still has opinions about credit unions, as evidenced in his blog, SECU - Just Asking!In this podcast Blaine also digs deep into the question: what exactly is a credit union? We also talk about democracy in credit unions and often the lack thereof.Recently Blaine has been sparring with his old employer with the flash point being the institution's new leadership's desire to move to risk based pricing for loans.  Blaine is against that and successfully resisted it in his years as SECU's CEO.Blaine, definitely, is opinionated. But he also is - undeniably - a credit union champion. What he says may make you mad - it definitely made various NCUA employees mad.  But listen up because Blaine, very clearly, articulates a philosophy about credit unions that he didn't just spout, he lived in building SECU into a US credit union powerhouse.  Listen up.Like what you are hearing?

There are even glimpses into the very future of credit unions - if there is one.This is a lively show and, remember, Diekmann has years of reporting experience that back up the opinions you'll hear.Listen up.Like what you are hearing?

Send us a textThis show is a proof to me that my insistence on doing podcasts without written questions in hand or a script is the right way.I agreed to this show - a talk with Michael Crowl, ceo of $4 billion Austin Texas based UFCU - because I'd heard he had been developing an interesting strategic plan.At many credit unions there are strategic plans but often they aren't interesting and often, too, nobody pays any attention gto them anyway.Supposedly UFCU and Crowl, who has been at UFCU for 20 years and has been CEO since September 2022, were different.Indeed they are.But pretty quickly we veered off the plan and dove into how this guy had risen to the CEO job at a very big credit union.  He grew up in government housing.  He worked his way through the University of Houston.  Then he went into investment banking, earned a good score and then - he went into teaching math at a high school.A few years later he happened into a job at UFCU and fell in love with what a credit union is and could be for its members.In the show I even ask the hardest question to throw at a CEO - when did you decide you wanted to be CEO and how did you get there?  And Cowl gives a simple but honest answer.I ask an even harder question: is this your last job?It's a great show - and I had no idea it would turn out this way.  But that's the magic of doing this work this way.  Listen up.Like what you are hearing?

Send us a textOn the show today is Peter Rice, CEO of Hanscom Federal Credit Union, a  $1.9 billion institution headquartered in Boston that took flight in 1951 at Hanscom Air Force Base.  Rice is a repeat guest.  His first appearance came in 2021 when he was Chief Banking Officer at Workers Bank.  That episode has been reposted as Greatest Hit #25.  On this show Rice's mind roams across the many issues credit unions are now wrestling with - the possible loss of the federal income tax exemption, possible changes at NCUA in the DOGE restructuring of Washington DC, the retirement of America's Credit Union's CEO Jim Nussle, Hanscom's acquisition of The People's Bank (Mayland), pending regulatory approval, and a new WealthTrek facility in Government Center, Boston that is reimagining banking today and tomorrow.But there's more. We also talk about Rice's walks on the Camino de Santiago, where he has three times earned a compostela,  a certificate of completion, and he muses about writing a management book about the Camino.  By the way your podcast host has earned two Camino  compostelas, in separate walks.And there's even a detour into the political history of Ireland, where Rice grew up.This is a show with lots to unpack.Listen up.  And listen again.Like what you are hearing?

This Day in Legal History: Rush-Bagot TreatyOn April 16, 1818, the United States Senate ratified the Rush-Bagot Treaty, a landmark agreement with Great Britain that fundamentally reshaped security along the U.S.-Canada border. Negotiated in the aftermath of the War of 1812, the treaty aimed to de-escalate military tensions between the two nations by significantly limiting naval armaments on the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain. Specifically, it allowed each country to maintain only a single military vessel on Lakes Ontario and Champlain and two vessels on the upper Great Lakes, each restricted in size and armament. The treaty marked a mutual commitment to demilitarization and ushered in a new era of diplomacy.The negotiations were spearheaded by Acting U.S. Secretary of State Richard Rush and British Minister to the U.S., Charles Bagot. Though initially framed as an exchange of diplomatic notes rather than a formal treaty, it was nonetheless submitted to the Senate for ratification, reflecting its constitutional significance. The Rush-Bagot Treaty laid the groundwork for what would become the world's longest undefended border. It also set a precedent for the peaceful resolution of border disputes through legal and diplomatic means rather than military force.While tensions between the two nations would persist in other areas, the Great Lakes remained largely free of armed conflict, validating the treaty's long-term effectiveness. Over time, the agreement became a model of arms control and remains in effect today, albeit with amendments reflecting evolving security concerns. Its ratification on this day helped steer U.S.-British relations toward lasting peace and cooperation, especially in North America. The treaty's enduring legacy is a testament to the power of legal frameworks in shaping geopolitical stability.The U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the state of Maine, escalating tensions between the Trump administration and the state over transgender athletes' participation in girls' and women's sports. The suit alleges that Maine is violating Title IX by permitting transgender female athletes to compete on girls' teams, citing recent examples from high school track events. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the action days after the administration attempted to cut off Maine's federal school funding and school lunch programs.This legal move follows a standoff between President Trump and Maine Governor Janet Mills, who rebuffed Trump's executive order banning transgender athletes from female sports. Mills told Trump, “We're going to follow the law, sir. We'll see you in court.” The administration's Title IX-based complaint argues that allowing transgender participation undermines fairness and safety, though no specific safety threats are detailed—of course.The Department of Education had already announced the suspension of $250 million in K-12 education funding for Maine, while the Department of Agriculture sought to freeze school lunch support. A federal judge has temporarily blocked the USDA's actions after Maine sued the federal government. Maine's Assistant Attorney General, Sarah Forster, pushed back, arguing that Title IX does not prohibit schools from including transgender girls in girls' sports and criticized the federal government's lack of legal precedent.US to take legal action against Maine over Trump executive order on transgender athletes | ReutersSenate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced he will block President Trump's nominations of Jay Clayton and Joe Nocella to serve as U.S. attorneys in New York's Southern and Eastern Districts, respectively. Schumer's refusal to return the customary “blue slip” signals his opposition and sets up a potential clash over the Senate tradition that gives home-state senators influence over federal prosecutor and judge appointments. He cited concerns that Trump intends to politicize the Justice Department, accusing him of seeking to weaponize law enforcement against political enemies.Clayton, a former SEC chair, was nominated to oversee the Southern District, which includes Manhattan and is often referred to as the nation's "Wall Street watchdog." Nocella, a state judge, was tapped for the Eastern District, covering Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island. Schumer's move could provoke Republicans to eliminate the blue slip practice for U.S. attorney nominations, as they previously did for circuit court judges.While Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley had earlier indicated he planned to preserve the blue slip process for U.S. attorney picks, growing political tensions may lead to changes. The debate echoes earlier pressure on Democrats to bypass blue slips during the Biden administration for nominees in states with GOP senators. Meanwhile, other Democratic senators, like Adam Schiff, are also using procedural holds to delay nominees they find objectionable, such as Ed Martin, who previously defended January 6 participants.Schumer to Block Jay Clayton as Top US Prosecutor in ManhattanPresident Donald Trump's threat to revoke Harvard University's tax-exempt status has sparked broader concerns about the politicization of the IRS and a potential crackdown on nonprofits. His warning followed Harvard's refusal to meet administration demands tied to federal funding, prompting a freeze of over $2.2 billion in grants. Other universities like Columbia, Cornell, and Princeton also saw funding halted, amid GOP claims that schools are failing to curb antisemitism after protests over the Israel-Hamas war.Critics see Trump's move as an attempt to use federal tax authority to punish political opponents. Legal scholars warn that using the IRS in this way echoes past abuses, such as those during Nixon's presidency. Some nonprofits have already started removing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) language from websites to avoid scrutiny, with lawyers reporting a spike in “DEI audits.” Though the IRS hasn't yet changed its enforcement patterns, reduced staffing could make it more susceptible to politicized influence.A recent executive order from Trump targeting “illegal DEI” efforts has heightened fear among nonprofits that their programs, especially those aimed at underrepresented communities, could be labeled discriminatory. Meanwhile, conservative activist Edward Blum has asked the IRS to investigate several foundations for offering race-specific grants, hoping to set a precedent against such practices. Legal experts say programs must be evaluated based on whether they exclude other races, which would likely violate federal law.Trump's Harvard Threat Raises Specter of IRS Nonprofit CrackdownIn my column for Bloomberg this week, I argue that proposals to exempt college athletes' name, image, and likeness (NIL) income from state taxes undermine one of tax policy's core principles: horizontal equity. That principle holds that taxpayers with similar incomes should be taxed similarly—something these NIL exemptions blatantly violate. While some student-athletes now earn six or seven figures, their peers working long hours in campus jobs continue to pay tax on modest earnings. Exempting high-income athletes while taxing low-wage student workers creates a two-tiered system that rewards fame and marketability, not need or effort.These exemptions aren't rooted in sound tax design—they're political moves, often motivated by the desire to curry favor with voters who are fans of college sports. But when states exempt wealthy student-athletes, they're making a value judgment: that celebrity deserves more support than everyday work. Even in states where lower-income students may owe no tax, the policy distinction is stark—exempting income to prevent poverty is not the same as exempting it to boost a football program.Rather than distorting the tax code to chase athletic prestige, I propose a fairer alternative: a progressive income exemption available to all full-time students, tied to the cost of their tuition. If a student pays $12,000 in tuition, they could exempt that amount from tax—regardless of whether their income comes from NIL deals, a job in the library, or a work-study program. This model keeps relief targeted to those bearing educational costs while avoiding regressive giveaways to already well-compensated students. The tax code should reflect fairness and support for all students—not just the most marketable ones.Student NIL Tax Breaks Would Put Splashy Recruits Above Fairness This is a public episode.

Jason Appleson of PGIM Fixed Income chats with Caitlin Devitt to break down the biggest factors shaping the muni market today, and how institutional investors are preparing for what's next.

This year's budget reconciliation bill has the potential to dramatically alter the fiscal relationship between states and the federal government. Some policymakers have proposed repealing the municipal tax exemption that has been at the heart of state financing for over a century. Others have suggested cutting federal spending by shifting the burden for certain outlays to state and local governments. In this episode, we talk with Emily Brock, Director of the Federal Liaison Center at the Government Finance Officers Association, about the critical role the muni tax exemption plays in local infrastructure investment, how states are adjusting to possible spending cuts from the federal government, and how the municipal bond market is responding amidst the policy uncertainty.

Send us a textCould this really be the end?For going on 20 years I have heard screams - usually emanating from one trade group - that the credit union tax exemption was in peril.  I thought that was a terrific membership renewal hook but didn't seen any likelihood of passage.This year is different. This year the threat is real.  On the show is Jason Stverak,, chief advocacy officer at DCUC, the Defense Credit Union Council, whose membership includes the nation's biggest credit unions but also smaller ones too.  All primarily serve military, active duty and retirees.DCUC has not been the association with a long history of yelling about tax exemption.But Stverak says that indeed the threat is real.He also explains what the impacts on DCUC credit unions would be were the tax exemption to go away. And the impacts would be sizable and harmful, both to credit union members and the communities in which DCUC members operate.In a recent show, onetime Bethpage CEO Kirk Kodeeski warned that if credit unions lost the ax exemption their business model would be shattered.On this show we hear exactly what that would mean for defense related credit unions.It's ugly.By the way, how much money do you think would be saved were the tax exemption to go away?Three billion dollars.That is chump change in today's Washington DC.Hear how DCUC is fighting back in this show.By the way, four years ago DCUC CEO Tony Hernandez (US Air Force retired) was on the show.

Today we are celebrating that Registered Counselling Therapists and Registered Psychotherapists no longer have to charge tax! There are decades of work behind the scenes to bring this to fruition, so it is a big deal! Thank you to the CCPA for making this happen! In this podcast episode, I'll give you all the information about what this means and what you should do next so that you're in the loop and on the right track.  In this Episode: Who doesn't have to charge tax anymore? What does this mean?  Addressing the change with clients  Who doesn't have to charge tax anymore? Last month in June 2024, Bill C59 received royal ascend and that means that GST and HST can successfully be removed from counselling and psychotherapy services in provinces that regulate the profession.  What does this mean?  What this means for therapists across Canada is that if you are in a province that regulates psychotherapy or counselling therapy, which includes;  Ontario  Quebec  New Brunswick  Nova Scotia  Prince Edward Island  You no longer have to charge tax on therapy services! However, if you are certified in an unregulated province, it can be a little tricky. You may or may not be able to take tax off of your services, because it depends on if you have the relevant qualifications with a regulated province, what your provinces rules are specifically, and other factors.  ‘So before taking off tax in an unregulated province, you will want to speak to your MPs [and] to the board where you are certified just to make sure that you can legally do that.' - Julia Smith   The CCPA is still advocating for those unregulated provinces so that Canadian Certified Counsellors (CCC) may become included in not having to charge tax anymore, because this is currently not the case.  No matter what, you should still contact the CRA to discuss your individual situation on whether or not to deregister your HST or GST number.

Or are you going to keep the therapy fee the same and give yourself a little bit of a raise? There's no judgment if you do decide to go with the latter, since inflation has been tough these last few years.  First and foremost, you may want to put yourself in your client's shoes because by not taking the tax off your fee and keeping it the same - depending on how you word it - your clients may not appreciate that, especially since for them it has also been difficult with inflation and rising costs.  ‘If you do decide to give yourself a raise, you want to explain to your clients why you are doing this, so that they understand and can respect it!' - Julia Smith  Some therapists may not tell the clients that they are doing this because the final fee includes the tax in the price, so the tax could be removed without the clients noticing. But by not informing your clients of the change, it may bring up big issues in the therapeutic alliance if a client finds it out and feels cheated or lied to, so being transparent is usually the best route!  In my private practice, we've decided to pass the benefits to our clients.   With Jane App, it is super simple to do to change this feature!  Connect with me: Instagram Website  Resources Mentioned and Useful Links:  Ep 132: Destin Jones: Creating Canadian Therapist Communities | EP 132  Learn more about the tools and deals that I love and use for my Canadian private practice Article: How to Set Up a Canadian Private Practice Website   Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Jane App (use code FEARLESS for one month free) Canada Revenue Agency  Rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, and TuneIn

The introduction of new technology has helped revolutionize the application of livestock manure fertilizer to cropland. This is an important topic as we examine the influence of modern agriculture on the environment and calls for the creation of a provincially appointed task group to develop solutions to the algae problem in Lake Winnipeg. Manitoba Pork General Manager Cam Dahl says the modernization of agriculture is making the application of manure more precise. A mid-sized chicken farm in Saskatchewan needs to heat the barns to above 30 degrees the entire year-round. In 2023, this chicken farmer paid $23,000 in natural gas heating bills. Of that bill, about a third, or $7,500 is just carbon tax and GST on the carbon tax. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation released Leger polling showing 70 per cent of Canadians support a carbon tax exemption on propane and natural gas for farmers. CTF Prairie Director Gage Haubrich said this shows Canadians know that keeping costs down for farmers helps lower costs at the grocery store for all of us.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The land swap agreement approved in January 2022 was meant to resolve the issue, but the commission has now decided to terminate it.

STORY 6:  Marietta school board to superintendent: 'Remove sexually explicit material from our district' The Marietta City Schools Board of Commissioners is taking action to address sexually explicit content in school media centers. They plan to issue a directive to Superintendent Grant Rivera, requesting the removal of material deemed "obscene, pornographic, not age-appropriate, and without substantive historical or academic value." The directive aims to ensure content aligns with the district's educational goals and community standards. It also calls for staff training, a review process for library books, and a system for reporting potentially explicit materials. Superintendent Rivera has outlined steps to monitor content, including policy reminders and oversight of book purchases. Both actions come after the removal of controversial books from Marietta High School's library. The board emphasizes that it is not a book ban but a measure to remove explicit and inappropriate content.   We'll be back in a moment   Break:   Disney on Ice  - Ingles 9 - JRM   STORY 7: Marietta man gets life in prison for child molestation   A Marietta man, Jason T.
