USA: State & Local Tax Top Stories of 2015Alex Baulf
2015 was notable in large part due to a series of decisions issued by state and federal courts which could pave the way for future resolution of several gray areas in state and local taxation. For example, the U.S. Supreme Court issued several major decisions impacting state and local taxes, including Obergefell v. Hodges and Comptroller of the Treasury v. Wynne. In Obergefell, the Court held that same-sex couples had the right to marry. States that did not recognize same-sex marriage prior to the decision issued guidance on filing returns after Obergefell. In Wynne, the Court determined that the failure of Maryland law to allow a credit against county personal income tax for Maryland residents for their pass-through income from an S corporation’s out-of-state activities that was taxed by other states was unconstitutional.
State and local tax: Top stories of 2015Andrea Platt
The document summarizes key state and local tax developments from 2015, including:

2) Alabama enacted a regulation requiring out-of-state sellers to collect sales tax without a physical presence, testing the boundaries of the Quill decision.
3) Iowa and Kansas began allowing credits against local taxes paid in other states in response to Wynne.

This document is a complaint filed by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission against Anthony Eugene Linton alleging fraud related to his operation of an off-exchange foreign currency trading pool called The Private Trading Pool (PTP). The complaint alleges that from 2007-present, Linton solicited over $650,000 from at least 19 individuals for PTP by falsely claiming the pool would generate guaranteed 100% annual returns from forex trading using his proprietary system. In reality, Linton lost over 91% of funds from limited forex trading and instead used most money for personal expenses and to pay earlier investors like a Ponzi scheme. The CFTC alleges Linton's actions violated the Commodity Exchange Act

Oklahoma Enacts Budget Package with Tax Provisions, Including Expansion of Sa...Alex Baulf
Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin has signed several tax measures into law as part of the budget agreement reached to bridge the state’s $1.3 billion budget deficit. The legislation expands the sales and use tax nexus standard by amending the definition of “maintaining a place of business in this state.” Also, out-of-state retailers or vendors that are not required to collect use tax must provide an annual statement to customers of the total sales made to the customer during the preceding calendar year. However, out-of-state retailers may participate in a compliance initiative that essentially provides tax amnesty for retailers that register with the Oklahoma Tax Commission by May 1, 2017.

SEC Ends Prohibition Against General Solicitation and Proposes New Regulation...Patton Boggs LLP
This document summarizes changes made by the SEC to rules 506 and 144A of Regulation D regarding general solicitation and verification of accredited investor status. Specifically, it allows general solicitation in Rule 506 offerings if all purchasers are accredited investors and the issuer takes reasonable steps to verify their status. It provides non-exclusive methods for verifying natural persons and also permits general solicitation in Rule 144A transactions if securities are only sold to qualified institutional buyers. Additionally, it disqualifies offerings involving felons and other "bad actors."
Similar a OKLAHOMA SB682 Establishing Gold and Silver Coins as Legal Tender (20)
The state-based movement in support of sound money has spread quickly as Louisiana becomes the second state to eliminate taxes on gold. The Louisiana Senate passed by a vote of 25-10 H.B. 682, a bill which removes the sales tax on gold and silver currency and bullion.
Existing law only exempts taxation for purchases of $1,000 and over.
This gives lower and middle income citizens the ability to acquire hard money without a regressive sales tax burden.
By removing taxes, it implicitly recognizes gold and silver coins as money.
The document provides an evaluation of Peter Temin's interpretation of the causes of the Panic of 1837 and subsequent recession from an Austrian economic perspective. It argues that Temin incorrectly absolves both the state banks and President Jackson of responsibility for causing monetary inflation in the 1830s. According to Austrian theory, fractional reserve banking and Jackson's policies did contribute to inflation by expanding the money supply. It also critiques Temin's view that external factors alone caused the panic, arguing a sound monetary system could have prevented it from having severe economic effects.
MEASURING PEACE AND ASSESSING COUNTRY RISK
This is the eighth edition of the Global Peace Index (GPI), which ranks nations according to their level of peace.
The Index is composed of 22 qualitative and quantitative indicators from highly respected sources and ranks 162 independent states, covering 99.6 percent of the world’s population. The index gauges global peace using three broad themes: the level of safety and security in society; the extent of domestic or international conflict; and the degree of militarisation.

These changes often result from the need to cut costs and expand or improve services.
President’s Advisory Council on Financial LiteracySteven Reta
On January 22, 2008, president George W. Bush signed an executive order creating, for the first time, a president’s advisory Council on financial Literacy. The charge was simple, yet daunting: improve financial literacy among all americans.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for both physical and mental health. It notes that regular exercise can reduce the risk of diseases like heart disease and diabetes, and help manage conditions like depression and anxiety. The document recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week to experience these benefits.
The survey summarizes key findings from the 2013 Consumer Financial Literacy Survey conducted by Harris Interactive for the National Foundation for Credit Counseling and the Network Branded Prepaid Card Association. It provides details on the survey methodology and examines topics like budgeting, spending, savings, bill payment, credit cards, financial knowledge, debt problems, and prepaid debit card usage. Over 2,000 US adults ages 18 and up were surveyed online between March 4-6, 2013. The survey highlights trends in financial behaviors and concerns.
The document summarizes the results of a 2014 health care reform survey conducted by Willis. Over 1,000 employers responded to the survey on their current and future health benefit strategies in response to the Affordable Care Act. Key findings include: most employers intend to continue offering health benefits to employees despite high costs; cost-shifting strategies like increasing employee premiums are widespread but not the only approach; and private health insurance exchanges are emerging as a new distribution channel for some employers. Compliance with plan design requirements is high, but administrative requirements have proven more difficult to implement. Employers continue relying heavily on brokers for guidance on navigating ongoing health care reforms.
The document discusses the decline of retirement security for American workers and analyzes the shift from traditional pensions to individual retirement plans like 401(k)s. It finds that this shift has exposed workers to greater risks and costs, undermining retirement outcomes. Specifically, it notes that Generation X workers can expect to receive just 65% of their pre-retirement income in retirement, compared to 77% for early Baby Boomers. This is due to factors like stagnant wages, rising costs of living, and the replacement of traditional pensions by individual plans that place more risks and burdens on workers. The report examines problems with the current system and considers policy proposals to better ensure retirement security.
Princeton, N.J. – A new NPR/Robert Wood Johnson Foundation/Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) poll released today that examines the role of stress in Americans’ lives finds that about half of the public (49%) reported that they had a major stressful event or experience in the past year. Nearly half (43%) reported that the most stressful experiences related to health.
More than half of those who experienced a great deal of stress in the past month say too many overall responsibilities and financial problems were contributors (54% and 53% respectively).
Driving Performance Through Enhanced Collaboration between HR and Finance.
Effective working relationships across functions — particularly HR and Finance — have traditionally eluded many organizations. A siloed approach won’t work in the future.
This document discusses barriers that prevent many Americans from adequately preparing for retirement. It summarizes the key findings of a survey of nearly 4,500 consumers conducted by Deloitte's Center for Financial Services. The survey found that 58% of Americans do not have a formal retirement savings and income plan. It identified five main barriers: 1) conflicting financial priorities, 2) failure of financial institutions to effectively communicate, 3) lack of awareness of retirement products, 4) mistrust of financial institutions, and 5) consumers' preference to manage retirement planning themselves. The document suggests that financial institutions should address retirement needs earlier and in conjunction with other financial goals in order to help consumers overcome these barriers.
Terminated vested cashouts can provide benefits to plan sponsors by reducing pension liability and costs. However, some sponsors are hesitant due to perceived concerns. This document addresses 10 common concerns: 1) Interest rates are too low, but waiting risks missing opportunities. 2) Using fixed income assets to pay lump sums preserves portfolio risk. 3) Funded status may dip but economic costs are reduced. 4) Settlement accounting can be avoided or may not negatively impact share price. 5) Contributions may accelerate slightly but long-term costs are reduced. 6) Participants have flexibility and many roll over funds. 7) Cashouts can support eventual plan termination. 8) Data cleanup is more efficient now. 9) Costs are often justified
Physician Savings and Retirement Readiness in Critical ConditionSteven Reta
This document summarizes a report on physicians' retirement savings behaviors and readiness. It finds that while physicians save an average of 14.9% of their salaries, younger physicians save below the recommended 15% rate. Many physicians do not save enough in their retirement plans due to IRS contribution limits. The document recommends that physicians complete financial plans and have access to non-qualified savings plans to help them save adequately. It also finds that some physicians have overly aggressive asset allocations and would benefit from guidance throughout their careers to ensure appropriate diversification. Based on projected retirement savings, pre-retiree physicians are estimated to replace only 56% of their ending incomes, below the suggested replacement goal of 71%.
The survey results show that the majority of organizations offer standard health care benefits like prescription drug coverage, dental insurance, and vision insurance. Preventive health benefits focused on wellness initiatives that provide incentives to employees have grown in popularity over the last five years. Retirement savings plans have shifted toward defined contribution plans and Roth 401(k) options. Paid time off plans combining vacation, sick, and personal days into one plan are also increasing in prevalence.
HR and business leaders are benefiting from migrating traditional employee reward and recognition programs to social-enabled technologies. These new systems report significant improvements in employee engagement and business outcomes by making recognition more visible, continuous, and focused on intrinsic motivation. However, there are inherent risks that must be effectively monitored and managed. Recommendations include capturing baseline metrics, evaluating cultural readiness for increased transparency, and planning for risks from social programs with an agile approach to risk mitigation. Adoption of social reward and recognition systems is expected to increase 25% annually.
The document discusses trends identified by SHRM's Special Expertise Panels for 2014. It provides an overview of the panels, which are composed of HR subject matter experts. The panels identified top trends in areas like corporate social responsibility, employee health and safety, employee relations, ethics, and global HR. Some cross-cutting trends included the impact of the economy, competition for skilled workers, technology developments, and demographic changes. The document lists and summarizes the specific trends identified by each panel.
The document discusses trends in the life insurance and annuity industry and provides an outlook for 2014. It notes that carriers will need to transform their business models and focus on growth to remain competitive in the long run. Specifically, carriers will look to evolve their products and distribution strategies to better serve underpenetrated markets like Generation X and the middle market. Carriers will also seek opportunities to take over private sector pension liabilities through individual annuities. The outlook predicts that carriers in 2014 will develop more simplified products and efficient strategies to target these emerging customer segments.
The Universal Account Number (UAN) by EPFO centralizes multiple PF accounts, simplifying management for Indian employees. It streamlines PF transfers, withdrawals, and KYC updates, providing transparency and reducing employer dependency. Despite challenges like digital literacy and internet access, UAN is vital for financial empowerment and efficient provident fund management in today's digital age.
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
Enhancing Asset Quality: Strategies for Financial Institutionsshruti1menon2
Ensuring robust asset quality is not just a mere aspect but a critical cornerstone for the stability and success of financial institutions worldwide. It serves as the bedrock upon which profitability is built and investor confidence is sustained. Therefore, in this presentation, we delve into a comprehensive exploration of strategies that can aid financial institutions in achieving and maintaining superior asset quality.
OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.

Independent Study - College of Wooster Research (2023-2024) FDI, Culture, Glo...AntoniaOwensDetwiler
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
