The media of Moldova refers to mass media outlets based in the Republic of Moldova. Television, magazines, and newspapers are all operated by both state-owned and for-profit corporations which depend on advertising, subscription, and other sales-related revenues. The Constitution of Moldova guarantees freedom of speech. As a country in transition, Moldova's media system is under transformation.

240 newspapers (ninety-seven in Romanian) and sixty-eight magazines (thirty-five in Romanian) were being published in the republic in 1990. Basa Press, an independent news service, was established in November 1992.
The media in Moldova has passed through hard times during the ruling period of the Party of Communists (2001-2009), during which the media continued being seen as an instrument of political influence, as in Soviet times. Only few media outlets were able to preserve their independence, due to the "lack of democratic traditions, insufficient financial resources, scarce management and marketing skills, and self-censorship".[1] In 2009 Freedom House assessed the Moldovan press as "not free", and Reporters Without Borders's Press Freedom Index saw it at the 114th position on 175 in 2009.[1]
The change in power in 2009 and the arrival of foreign investments in the Moldovan media market have brought a new dynamism.
Legislative framework[edit]
Moldova's media legislation is deemed rather good; yet, cases of abuses and intimidations persist.[2]
The Constitution of Moldova guarantees to all citizens "the freedom of thought, opinion, as well as freedom of expression in public by words, images, or any other possible means" (art. 32.1). The same article (32.3) outlaws the "defamation of the state and the nation, the encouragement to war of aggression, to nationalistic, racial or religious hatred, incitement to discrimination, territorial separatism, public violence, as well as other manifestations that attempt at the legality of the constitutional regime". The Criminal Code (Article 347) punishes with up to 3 years in prison the "profanation of the flag, coat of arms, or anthem of the Republic of Moldova or of any other state", though this has been criticised as inconsistent with international standards.[2]
Defamation has been decriminalised in Moldova in 2009. Yet, art. 70 of the Administrative Code still punishes libel and insults with up to 15 days in prison. Art. 16 of the Civil Code guarantees the right to respect, honour, dignity and professional reputation, and provides for the refutation of untruthful information and payment of moral and material compensations. The law places the burden of proof on journalists and does not specify the limits to compensation. As a result, authorities have in some cases claimed outrageous amounts in compensation from journalists as a way to influence the media and foster self-censorship.[2]
The 2006 Broadcasting Code is the law regulating the media field. The Code also defines the responsibilities and powers of the independent authority supervising it, the Broadcasting Coordinating Council (BCC). The Code also establishes that the BCC should allocate at least 70% of frequencies to programmes in the state language (Moldovan/Romanian language).[3]
The 2000 law on access to information provides that any resident citizen can request information from the public authorities without the need for justification. Yet, its implementation has been inconsistent. According to a 2008 monitoring report, authorities have responded only in 19.3% of cases.[2] Compliance remains weak, as no authority is tasked with enforcement or supervision. Access is more difficult outside the capital, particularly in the autonomous region of Gagauzia. A positive step was made in October 2014 when authorities cancelled fees to access information about companies registered in Moldova.[4]
A Law on state secret entered into force in May 2009, despite international concerns, restricting the possibility to access sensitive information.[2]
Internet is not regulated in Moldova. In the April 2009 Moldovan parliamentary election protests (the "Twitter revolution") the Communist government has been accused of limiting or blocking access to media outlets, to prevent further mobilisation of the population.[2]
Status and self-regulation of journalists[edit]
Different media organisations, including Teleradio-Moldova, have elaborated their own professional codes of conduct. A Code of professional ethics was adopted in 1999 by the Union of Journalists from Moldova.[5]
In October 2009 a Press Council was set up by six civil society actors to increase the professionalism of print media and mediate in the disputes between readers and the press.[5]
Media outlets[edit]
Moldova (including Transnistria) hosted up to 410 media outlets in 2010, half of which established after 2000 - a relatively high number when compared to a small market.[1] In 2014 there are around 64 television channels (of which 5 with national coverage, 4 privately owned), 57 radio stations, and 400 print publications in operation.[4]
The media still command a high trust by the Moldovan population - 51.3% of Moldovan residents in 2009 affirmed to trust the media, which came second only to the Church (79.8%).[1] Among them, the highest-trusted media is the television (60%).[3]
The print media included around 60% of media outlets in 2008, with circulation figures ranging between 150/1000 copies for quarterly and biannual magazines, 500/25.000 for weeklies and 3000/9000 for dailies. Around 60% of the print media (50 outlets) is owned by the state, while 42 are private.[3]
Broadcasting media included in 2009 166 cable operators, 38 terrestrial TV channels and 50 radio stations. The TV is seen daily by 83.4% of the popolation (compared to 51.4% for the radio) and remains the main source of information for 72.9% of Moldovans (the radio only for 8.9% of them).[3]
Media pluralism has improved recently. Private owners control five of the six most popular TV channels, 2 of the top 3 radio stations, and 7 of the 8 major press agencies. Ownership transparency remains lacking, and concentration is not effectively regulated.[4]
The media in Moldova are regularly used as a tool to advance the commercial or political interests of their owners, particularly at time of electoral campaigns. Regulations require broadcasters to submit a plan for electoral coverage and declare ownership structures, but several channels failed to do so in 2014, including Channel 2, Channel 3, Prime TV and Publika TV.[4]
Print media[edit]
|This section needs to be updated. (April 2013)
The print media maintains a small audience in Moldova. In November 2009, only 3% of citizens had the print media as their main source of information, and only 4.5% as most trusted media source. Only 10.2% read newspapers everyday, while 34.4% said they had not read a single newspaper in three months.[6]
The print media is traditionally divided along language lines (Romanian and Russian-language media). Other minorities (Ukrainian, Gagauz, Bulgarian and Jewish) also have their own publications, though mainly in Russian language.[6] Most Moldovan media are more committed to their owners' interests rather than to the general public ones'.[6]
The Moldovan print press is mainly concentrated in the capital Chisinau, and the regional press is underdeveloped. The weak distribution system penalises rural areas, where newspapers still arrive with up to several days of delay. Most newspapers have online editions with distinct and updated contents.[6]
The main daily newspaper in the republic, Moldova Suverana, is published by the government. Sfatul Ţării is published by Parliament, which also publishes the daily Nezavisimaya Moldova in Russian. Other principal newspapers include Rabochiy Tiraspol (in Russian, the main newspaper of the Slavs in Transnistria), Ţara, Tineretul Moldovei/Molodezh Moldovy (in Romanian and Russian), and Viaţa satului (published by the government).
The main cultural publication in Moldova is the weekly journal Literatura și Arta, published by the Union of Writers of Moldova. Other principal periodicals include Basarabia (also published by the Writers' Union), Chipăruş, Alunelul, Femeia Moldovei, Lanterna Magică, Moldova, Noi, and SudEst.
Kishinëvskiye novosti, Kodry, and Russkoye Slovo are Russian-language periodicals. Other minority-language periodicals include Prosvita and Homin in Ukrainian, Ana sözu and Cîrlangaci in Gagauz, Rodno slovo in Bulgarian, and Undzer kol/Nash golos in Yiddish and Russian.
Some Moldovan press institutions have demonstrated a profitable potential. The Jurnal de Chisinau started as a weekly, became a daily and then launched an Internet TV channel and created a powerful media network, the Jurnal Trust Media.[6]

Radio broadcasting[edit]
Radio Moldova (RM) started broadcasting on 30 October 1930 with a Romanian-language programme from an improvised studio in Tiraspol. It is today hosted in a 10-storey building built in the early 1990s and is part of the public broadcaster IPNA "Teleradio-Moldova", usually deemed pro-governmental.[7]
In October 1939, Radio Basarabia, a local station of the Romanian Radio Broadcasting Company, was the first radio station opened in Chișinău.
Antena C was launched in 1998, municipalised in 2004 and privatised in 2007, being taken over by acquaintances of the Party of Communists.[7]
Other popular radio stations include Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Vocea Basarabiei, Noroc, PRO FM Chisinau, Kiss FM, Radio Nova, Hit FM.[7]
Television broadcasting[edit]
Television in Moldova was introduced in April 1958, within the framework of Soviet television. Through cable, Moldovan viewers can receive a large number of Russian channels, a few Romanian channels, and several Russian language versions of international channels in addition to several local channels. One Russian and two local channels are aired.
Television industry in Moldova begun in 1956 with the construction of the country's first dedicated television tower in Chişinău which took a little over a year to complete, the finished tower was 196 meters tall and could broadcast within a 60 km radius. The first television transmission was sent on 30 April 1958 at 19:00 and included amongst other things cheers from all the parties that participated in the project's development as well as some local celebrities.
At first programs were broadcast only two times a week on Friday and Sunday but by the end of 1958 broadcasts became daily. The first live broadcast in the country also happened in 1958.
In 1961 the coverage area was expanded after several relay masts were constructed in Bălţi, Cahul and Comrat. Since 1974 all broadcasts were made in color and in 1977 the first dedicated television studio was built which is still in use to this day. In the early 80's there were more than a million citizens with access to television sets. During the Soviet era there weren't all that many channels available with most of them being news and general purpose channels which were all state owned.[8]
The industry didn't really change much and only after the fall of the USSR was when the television industry in the country really started to gain momentum. One of the first cable companies to begin their operation in the country was EuroCable which began its operation shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the company offered cable television to its customers with multiple local and foreign channels. EuroCable remained the dominant cable television provider until in the mid 90's it was bought by SunCommunications which merged it with its own service and re-branded it into SunTV. Because EuroCable and later SunTV began very early they gathered a large subscription base and remain the dominant cable television provider to this day offering their services in several large towns in the country.
During the 2000s many other Chişinău based cable television providers such as Satellit, Delta and Alfa emerged offering similar services as SunTV. In 2013 there were 95 registered television providers.[9]
In 2007 Arax Communications launched its own cable television network called Zebra TV, which became the first digital network in the country.[10] SunTV followed, launching its own digital network later that year. Until recently accessing television was only possible via cable but in 2011 StarNet and Moldtelecom launched their separate IPTV services in Chişinău and other towns offering multiple channels on both SD and HD qualities.[11][12] Local broadcasting has remained fairly undeveloped since the time it was first launched although progress towards better quality is quite rapid with most local channels hoping to go digital by 2015.[13]
Other TV channels include the following.[14]
- NIT, established as a local station in 1997, expanded to the first private TV station with national coverage in 2005, also thanks to close relations with the then-ruling Party of Communists.
- N4 is a regional private TV station, also influenced by the Party of Communists.
- Pro TV Chisinau is an independent TV station launched in 1999, part of the Romanian group Pro TV.
- EuTV, formerly owned by the Chisinau Municipal Council, was privatized in 2007 and became a media influenced by the Christian-Democratic People's Party.
- Prime started broadcasting in Moldova in 1999 as a spin-off of Channel One Russia.
- TV 7, launched in 2006 by the Analitic Media Group in partnership with the Russian NTV.
- Mir Moldova, the local representative of the МТРК "МИР" was founded within the activity of the Community of Independent States.
- Alt TV is a new TV station re-broadcasting 70% of contents from the Romanian station B1 TV and 30% of original contents.
- TV Publika was launched in 2010 and supported by the Romanian Realitatea TV. It broadcasts in Romanian (80%) and Russian (20%).
- Jurnal TV, the first private news TV with national coverage, launched in 2010 by Jurnal de Chisinau's Jurnal Trust Media.
- Muz TV Moldova is a music and entertainment channel.
In late 2009, the main TV channels in Moldova include Moldova 1 (56.2 percent), Prime TV (55.4 percent), Pro TV (30.7 percent), NIT (21.7 percent), TV7 (9.7 percent), etc.[14]
In the vigil of the Moldovan parliamentary election, 2014, most private channels aligned with specific political interests, favouring different candidates and parties.[4]
- Four channels (Canal 2, Canal 3, Prime TV, Publika TV), owned by the General Media Group linked to the businessman Vlad Plahotniuc, favoured the pro-EU, centre-left government party Democratic Party of Moldova.
- The EuroTV, N4 and TV7 channels aligned with the pro-EU, centre-right Liberal Democratic Party of Moldova
- Accent TV favoured the pro-Russia Patria Party
- The public station Moldova 1 maintained a balanced coverage, tho sliding towards favouring the pro-EU governmental coalition at times.
Subscriptions and penetration level (2014):[15]
- Number of multichannel TV subscriptions - 273,083
- Penetration level - 7.68%
Public service broadcaster[edit]
Moldova's state-owned national radio-TV broadcaster is Teleradio-Moldova (TRM), which includes the TV channels Moldova 1 and TV Moldova Internațional (until 2013) and the radio channels Radio Moldova and Radio Moldova Internaţional (with broadcasts in Romanian, English, French, Spanish and Russian).[14]
TRM is financed from the state budget and regulated under Moldova's Broadcasting Code by a Supervisory Board, ensuring that its activities serve the public interest. Notwithstanding several restructuring plans to transform it in a public service broadcaster, TRM remains biased in a pro-governmental way.[14]
In the 2009 Manole and others versus Moldova case, the European Court on Human Rights recognised a violation of freedom of expression (Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights) due to the censorship practices at TRM, deemed an unjustified interference in the journalists' rights to free expression and free communication of information. At the time of the appeal (2002), TRM was the only channel with national coverage, and was particularly relevant for rural population without access to alternative sources of information (cable or satellite TV). The ECtHR thus reaffirmed the need for the state to provide impartial and unbiased information through its public service broadcaster.[14]
The Cinema of Moldova developed in the early 1960s during the Soviet period, experiencing a flowering of about a decade and a half. Stagnation followed, and after the Moldavian SSR became independent in 1991, the industry almost completely disappeared.
Moldova hosts 44 rural and 14 municipal cinemas, with an annual audience of 5,000 and 26,000 people respectively. In 2010 all Moldovan cinemas (except Odeon) broadcast Russian-distributed movies, since the country still lacked a centre of synchronization/subtitling of movies in Romanian.[16]
The Cinematography Department within the Ministry of Culture was the regulatory authority in the film in 2001-2005, before being disbanded in 2006. Moldovan cinematography today lacks a comprehensive strategy.[16]
- The Documentary Film Studio (later Moldova-film) was set up in Chisinau by the USSR Ministry of Cinematography in 1952. In the next 30 years, Moldova-film screened 120 fiction movies, 800 documentaries, 750 editions of the cinema magazine "Soviet Moldova", 40 editions of the satiric magazine "Usturici", 40 cartoon pictures. In the 1980s the studio produced around 4 fiction movies and 25 documentaries yearly.
Production declined after the Soviet collapse and independence in the 1990s, while private studios for commercial productions appeared. Moldova-film, despite progressive dilapidation, maintained the inherited production capacities.[16]
- The Telefilm-Chisinau studio was founded in 1959 as a creative association; it produced circa 300 artistic films, documentaries and concert-films. After a stop in the 1990s, it was partially relaunched in 2005.[16]
- OWH TV Studio founded in 1995 as a creative atelier for young TV producers, has evolved into an independent and alternative production centre. It also launched in 2001 the International Documentary Film Festival CRONOGRAF, the only film festival in Moldova
- Prim-Plan Studio was launched in 2007 by the renowned film producer Valeriu Jereghi.
The Union of Film Makers of Moldova, constituted in 1962 as part of the Union of Film Makers of the Soviet Union, had 200 members around 2009.[16]
Telecommunications in Moldova are maintained at a relatively high performance level. Because Moldova is a small country, telecommunications companies managed to achieve good coverage in both wired and wireless communications infrastructure. Landline is available in most settlements, however mobile phone popularity has vastly increased in recent years. Mobile communications infrastructure are fairly well developed but suffer from high prices, nonetheless the amount of mobile subscriptions is growing very fast compared to the landline. As far as the Internet is concerned, Moldova has one of the best wired Internet connections in the world as well as one of the cheapest in $ per Mbit.[citation needed]
The TLC field is regulated by the National Agency for Regulation of Electronic Communications and for Technology of Information (ANRCETI), based on the Law on electronic communications, launched around 2000.[17]
The state-owned Moldtelecom dominates the fixed telephony market, with a 97.52% share in 2009 (1.104.000 users). Penetration rate is 31.7%.[17]
The mobile telephony market is shared among four main providers: Orange Moldova, operating since 1998 (France Télécom, Orange România; 74.24% market share in 2009); Moldocell, est. 2000 (TeliaSonera, Turkcell; 23.41%), Unite (Moldtelecom), and Eventis Mobile (Moldovan and Russian owners). Mobile penetration rate in 2009 was of 76.1%.[17]
Internet in Moldova is hindered by an obsolete infrastructure and high subscription fees.[4] Online media started developing in Moldova in the late 2000s. In 2009, internet was the main source of information for only the 8.6% of residents, and the most trusted source for only the 6.7%. 17% of the population used internet daily, with a broadband penetration of 4.63%.[18] Internet penetration reached 47% in 2014.[4]
The Moldovan blogosphere is quite organised, with a website (Blogosfera.md) which in 2009 registered around 1000 blogs. It also holds a blogging competition (Blogovăţ). Journalists' blogs are also popular sources of information.[19]
Media organisations[edit]
Media agencies[edit]
The state-owned Moldpres is the oldest news agency in Moldova. It was founded in 1935 as Moldovan Telegraphic Agency, and was known in 1990-1994 as Information Agency Moldova-press. It has been renamed and put under governmental control since 1994. Moldpres also publishes the official gazette Monitorul Oficial.[20]
BASA-press and Infotag are the first private news agencies in Moldova, both launched in 1992. Basa-press ended operations in 2010. Since 1997 DECA-press is a specialised news agency on regional development. Imedia was launched by former Radio BBC Chisinau employees, upon the closure of the channel in 2008. Infomarket.Md is devoted to economics news. Other news agencies include Info-Prim Neo, Interlic, Noutati-Moldova, Omega.[20]
News agencies operating in the separatist region of Transnistria include Ольвия-Пресс (Olvia-Press) founded in 1992; Новый Регион-Приднестровье (New Region - Transnistria), part of the Russian Agency Новый Регион; and Лента ПМР (Lenta PMR)[20]
Trade unions[edit]
The Union of Moldovan Journalists, founded in 1957 as a creative organisation, was re-organised in 1998 into a journalistic union. In 2009 it had around 400 members, but no real influence. In 2004 the Communist government tried to oppose it with an alternative trade union of loyalist journalists, the League of Professional Journalists, which was only operational for a year, but the polarisation of media professionals along partisan lines.[21]
The Association of Independent Press, established in 1997, works for the development of independent regional media. The Association of Electronic Press (APEL), created in 1999, aiming to contribute to the development of the audiovisual domain. The Centre for promotion of freedom of expression and access to information "Access-Info" was established in 2000 and participated in the drafting of the new Law on access to information. Other professional associations include the Centre of Young Journalist from Moldova, founded in 2002, and the Association of Business Journalists.[21]
In 2003 a group of Moldovan journalists and three media organisations (the Association of Independent Press, the Association of Electronic Press and the Press Freedom Committee) founded the Investigative Journalism Center.[21]
The UN Resident Coordinator Office in Moldova founded the UN Journalists' Club in September 2001.[21]
The regulatory authority on public and private audiovisual media in Moldova is the Broadcasting Coordinating Council (Consiliul Coordonator al Audiovizualului - CCA), which supervises the enactment of the Broadcasting Code, and issues broadcasting licenses and retransmission authorizations. The CCA can examine complaints, ex officio or upon request, and hand gradual sanctions (public warning, temporary withdrawal of the right to broadcast advertisements, fine, temporary suspension of the license, and withdrawal of the broadcasting license). Its 9 members are appointed by the Moldovan Parliament to represent the public interest - although the appointment process is highly politicised.[22] The CCA's "perceived lack of independence and politicized, opaque decision-making" remains a strong issue.[4]
- During Communist governments (2001-2009) the CCA favoured pro-governmental broadcasters and applied legislation selectively.[22]
- In 2012 the CCA closed down the pro-PCRM station NIT for lack of pluralism. The closure was upheld in appeal in 2013.[4]
- In July 2014 the CCA suspended for 6 months the broadcasts of the Russian state-owned Rossiya 24, again for lack of pluralism, after complaints by a Liberal Reformist Party MP. Other outlets that re-transmits Russian channels were warned or fined in 2014.[4]
- In September 2014 the Supreme Court of Moldova upheld the 2013 CCA quota obliging broadcasters to air at least 30% of locally produced programming, and half prime-time hours with Romanian-language programming.[4]
Teleradio-Moldova's Supervisory Board (Consiliul de Observatori - CO), established under the Broadcasting Code, is tasked with ensuring that the national public broadcaster works in the public's best interest. Its 9 members are promiment figures of the Moldovan public sphere, appointed by the Parliament. The Supervisory Board may adopt TRM Statute, approve its financial plan and editorial policy, and monitor its activities. It also confirms TRM's President and channels' Directors. As the CCA, the CO has so far been lacking in independence and remained highly vulnerable to political influences. In 2009, after the change in power, the CO dismissed TRM's President and Directors.[22]
Censorship and media freedom[edit]
Moldova is ranked as "partly free" in Freedom House 2015 Freedom of the Press report, with a score of 55.[4] Reporters without borders rank it as 72nd of 180 countries - on a decline from the 55th/56th positions of 2012/2014, though better than the 98th/114th positions of 2008/2009.[23]
Attacks and threats against journalists[edit]
Physical attacks against journalists are rather rare in Moldova.[4]
- In June 2014, journalist and human rights activist Oleg Brega was assaulted in Chisinau by two masked men.[4]
- In September 2014 threats were sent to the investigative newspaper Ziarul de Gardă after it had published information on the assets and personal life of the leader of the Moldovan Orthodox Church.[4]
In some cases, detentions have been reported as a way to stifle free speech.
- In 2011 Eduard Bagirov, a Russian-language writer and journalist blogger, was held in pre-trial detention for several months without official charges, notwithstanding protests and a hunger strike by Bagirov.[24]
Political interferences[edit]
Authorities prohibited journalists to be present at the renewed Parliament's plenary hall, restricting them to a separate press room. The Independent Journalism Centre (IJC) criticised the polict as a violation of access and pressed the government to repeal it, also lamenting the insufficient space devoted to journalists.[4]
In January 2014 several cable operators excluded three broadcasters from their basic packages. The excluded ones were the opposition-linked Accent TV, the critical Jurnal TV, and RTR Moldova which rebroadcasts Russian media. They were reintroduced following objections from the public and international organisations such as the OSCE.[4]
Civil defamation lawsuits[edit]
Despite decriminalisation of defamation in 2009, cases keep being filed against media outlets in the Moldovan courts, which are reputed for their lack of integrity. Courts also do not publish number of cases filed.[4]
- In August 2011 the investigative newspaper Ziarul de Gardă was ordered to pay €33,000 in defamation damages to two Glodeni prosecutors for reporting about their alleged wrongdoings - judgement upheld in appeal, although with reduced damages, and finally dismissed by Moldova's Supreme Court in July 2012. "Media should be free to criticize public officials for the benefit of their societies and should not risk going bankrupt due to extortionate moral damage awards paid to public officials,", the OSCE Representative for Freedom of the Media commented.[25]
- In July 2014 Ruslan Popa, leader of the splinter Reformist Communist Party of Moldova, won a case for defamation against Accent TV, which had to pay 130,000 lei ($9,000) in damages - although the case had been filed incorrectly, inter alia beyond the 30-days limit established by the 2010 Law on Freedom of Expression.[4]

France's Gilles Simon today faced criticism from compatriot Marion Bartoli after claiming women tennis players should not be paid as well as the men.
Simon, the 13th seed, is due to face Belgian Xavier Malisse in the second round at Wimbledon today.
He sparked controversy ahead of that match by claiming the current pay equality at grand slam tournaments is unfair.
He told France Info: "The male players spent twice as long on court at Roland Garros (during the recent French Open) as the women.
"The equality in salaries isn't something that works in sport.
"Men's tennis remains more attractive than women's tennis at the moment."
Bartoli, the 2007 Wimbledon runner-up, frowned on those remarks and insisted the women were still poor relations to the men when it comes to overall pay.
Reacting to Simon's claims, she said in L'Equipe: "Over the year, we are a long way from earning as much as the men.
"It (pay equality) is unique to the grand slams and certain tournaments.
"We put in as much as they do.
"The physical demands, the training and the investment in ourselves are the same as theirs."
And Bartoli, who like Simon is 27 years old, suggested there are few players in the men's game who draw in the crowds.
She said: "There are only five or six."
Wimbledon began offering equal prize-money in 2007 after a unanimous vote in favour of the proposal by the championship committee.
The defence often used previously to justify the disparity was that whereas men play best-of-five-set matches in grand slams, women play just best-of-three.
Wimbledon greats including Billie Jean King and John McEnroe endorsed the decision to offer equal prize-money, which was also praised by the likes of Maria Sharapova and Venus Williams.
However German player Tommy Haas criticised the step.
Simon has been newly elected to the players' council of the ATP, the body that runs the men's tour.
He was handed his new role on Saturday, joining three other top-50 players - Roger Federer, Jarkko Nieminen and Kevin Anderson - on the 12-man council.

Fourth Amendment before U.S. Supreme Court
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Police smelling marijuana coming from behind an apartment door can enter the home without a warrant in some instances, some U.S. Supreme Court Justices said.
The U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday heard arguments that could have Fourth Amendment implications, The Washington Post reported.
The Kentucky Supreme Court overturned the conviction of Hollis King, saying police didn't have the right to kick his door down after smelling marijuana coming from the apartment.
Police had announced their presence, and when they heard flushing sounds decided evidence was being destroyed and entered the apartment.
The case made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday. Justice Elena Kagan found some problems with the King case.
"One of the points of the Fourth Amendment is to ensure that when people search your home, they have a warrant, and of course there are exceptions to that," Kagan said.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg also found problems with the Kentucky search.
"They (could) go to the apartment building and ... sniff at every door," Ginsburg proposed, to find cause to search.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor also had issues with the case. She said in many instances police could enter without a warrant if they thought drugs were being used on the other side because police could always say they feared the evidence would be destroyed.
Justice Antonin Scalia said police did nothing wrong in the Kentucky case.
"Everything done was perfectly lawful," Scalia said. "It's unfair to the criminal? Is that the problem? I really don't understand the problem."
Scalia said law enforcement has many constraints "and the one thing that it has going for it is that criminals are stupid."
Bradford Cannabis Raid Finds Guinea Pig Heater
Police swooped on a suspected cannabis factory at a house in Bradford f only to find the suspicious heat source was for two guinea pigs. Officers arrived last week after the West Yorkshire Police helicopter detected a hotspot on the roof of the garage in Huddersfield Road, Odsal. A hotspot is often a sign of specialist heating systems used to grow cannabis. Police have apologised for any distress the raid caused to the guinea pigs' owner, 42-year-old Pam Hardcastle. Mrs Hardcastle, a learning mentor at Bradford Moor primary school, said: "On Wednesday I'd gone to work and got a call from my mum who said you need to come home. "The police came on the phone and said: 'We think you're growing cannabis in your garage. "I said: 'No, it's a heater to keep my guinea pigs warm because it's been so cold. "I went home and there were two policemen who came in the house with me and I've got a big picture of Bob Marley with cannabis growing behind him so I thought: 'Oh my God, don't turn round'."
'Unfortunate it was me' Mrs Hardcastle said that despite the embarrassment the incident had caused, she did not criticise the police. "I think the police do a really good job and I do understand why they did it," she said. "It 's just unfortunate it was me." Insp Darren Brown, of the Queensbury, Royds and Wibsey neighbourhood policing team, said: "A majority of operations of this nature are intelligence-based and often rely upon swift action.
"Due to the location of the garage, we could not make further observations without alerting the occupants. "On this occasion, it transpired that the significant heat source coming from the property was not connected to the production of cannabis. "Officers who attended explained the full circumstances to the occupant and discussed any damage. "I would like to apologise for the distress this may have caused. "However, I would point out that these tactics are essential in tackling drugs across the district." He reassured Mrs Hardcastle that her details would not be kept on police records.
Lancashire Police Uncover Cannabis in Blackpool
A Cannabis factory with an estimated street value of £14,500 was uncovered by police in a former Blackpool hotel. Officers made the discovery at the property on Kirby Road, previously the Glendene Hotel after a resident reported a strong smell coming from the building. Around 290 plants were discovered in the property, spread out over four bedrooms. Lighting and cultivation equipment was also found. Det Sgt Jane Atkinson from Blackpool CID said: "We discovered this cannabis factory thanks to information we received from a member of the public and this, once again, highlights the importance of the public working with us to pass on information about suspicious activity.
"As a result of this discovery, a substantial amount of cannabis has now been taken off the streets of Blackpool. "We will not tolerate the supply or use of drugs in our communities. We will continue to take robust action against those who are thought to be involved in drugs and I urge residents to pass any suspicions about drugs on to the police." No arrests have been made in connection with the cannabis factory but officers continue to make enquiries
P For 'Losers' But Cannabis 'Hardly Illegal'
Young people believe the drug methamphetamine, or P, is for "losers" but see little difference between cannabis, ecstasy, tobacco and alcohol, according a survey. The UMR Research work on a small group - about 20 young people aged between 12 and 17 - was carried out for anti-P group the Stellar Trust, and aimed to gain an understanding of young people's attitudes to the drug and identify initiatives that would be most effective in deterring its use amongst NZ youth. It showed media stories about the links to horror crime and health damage were putting young people off the drug, Stellar chief executive Mike Williams said. The survey found party pills had gone out of favour since they became illegal while ecstasy was seen mostly as a party drug used by older teens.
Heroin, cocaine and P were viewed as the most serious drugs and were the least used. Key deterrents to trying P were addictive behaviour, its impact on appearance, the negative profile of users and it was viewed as a heavy duty drug. The teens also knew it could change personality - make you angry, steal, destroy families and a user's appearance. Many of the teens were relaxed about drug use and not affected by the death of 16-year-old King's College student James Webster after he had knocked back a bottle of vodka. His death was seen as a chance to crack down on teens. About half had tried marijuana, which was "hardly viewed as illegal" and was widely available and prevalent in schools.
But despite the dim view of P, the tolerant attitude to cannabis and ecstasy meant they remained gateways to harder drugs, said former detective and managing director of drug education company Methcon Group Dale Kirk. Research clearly showed a link between regular cannabis use and the subsequent use of harder drugs. Regular cannabis users were 60 times more likely to move on to these harder drugs, he said. Mr Kirk said it was worrying but not at all surprising that an attitude of tolerance to cannabis and other drugs remained. "Sadly the romantic notion of cannabis as being a soft drug remains as strong as ever. "This is hardly surprising given the home environment and communities that many young people find themselves growing up in where cannabis is accepted by adult role models as OK and used on a daily basis."
Glasgow Drug Trafficker Ordered To Pay £30,000
John McQuillan became a target for a surveillance operation by officers of the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement agency. McQuillan, 46, was watched as he left his home in Colintraive Avenue in Glasgow on July 5 last year and drove to meet up with another man. He was later spotted arriving at an address in the city's Tillycairn Drive. Police moved in and found McQuillan in a converted garage where he was cutting plastic covering a package with a knife. Bars of cannabis resin were found scattered over a sofa.
A total of 482 quarter kilo bars of the Class B drug were recovered along with a further 124 smaller blocks. The haul was estimated to be worth a maximum of £381,000 if broken down into smaller street deals. McQuillan later admitted being concerned in the supply of the drug and was jailed for 86 months last year. The Crown also raised an action against him to claw back any proceeds of crime.
On Monday, McQuillan's counsel Mark Moir told Lord Pentland at the High Court in Edinburgh that a settlement had now been reached and the judge agreed that a confiscation order should be made for the sum of £30,000. Advocate depute Barry Divers said that figure represented McQuillan's "realisable assets". He was given six months to pay the sum.

Keith Richards Thinks the Rolling Stones Will Be Together Until They Die
In an admission that will probably surprise no one, guitarist Keith Richards said that death will be the only thing to put a stop to the Rolling Stones.
In an admission that will probably surprise no one, guitarist Keith Richards said that death will be the only thing to put a stop to the Rolling Stones.
Ultimate Classic Rock is pleased to present the exclusive premiere of "Miss You," from the Rolling Stones' 'Totally Stripped.'
Nineteen-sixty-six was one of the most interesting years in the history of pop music.
Mick Taylor may have reunited with the Rolling Stones for some dates on their 50 and Counting tour, but that doesn't mean everything is rosy between the guitarist and his former bandmates.
Given the severity of some of the scandals that would later rock the Rolling Stones, facing a five-pound fine for peeing on a gas station wall seems fairly minor.
Even though Mick Taylor's stint in the Rolling Stones lasted a mere five years, he appeared on the band's classic string of late-'60s/early-'70s albums, including 'Sticky Fingers' and 'Exile on Main St.'
Anyone who saw Billy Joel's name on the guest list for last night's episode of The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon had to expect a few memorable musical moments.
The television special which was unreleased for 28 years was filmed on Dec. 11, 1968.
A murder at a Rolling Stones concert effectively brought the peace-and-love ethos of the '60s to a jarring end.
The Rolling Stones survived a chaotic recording session to release 'Let it Bleed' in November 1969.

What I got wasn't tailored for my car, which was a major selling point considering the price tag. The headrest covers are an awkward fit with the straps too bulky and don't fit flat. The bottom seat covers have a 'bubble' in the fabric on the outside of the seat and move around even though they're strapped into place. The back cover has a hole in it meant for a seat with an armrest, which my car doesn't have.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Superb sunny Bournemouth Beach runIn full: Such a fast, flat race. You have two inclines but apart from that it is flat as a pancake. Definitely a PBer. Weather was perfect. Sunshine but not too hot. Not big wind which can be a killer on a seafront run. The scenery is fantastic; I saw another review described it as monotonous - this course would be if it wasn't for the amazing views.Race start was the usual congestion; it should probably start further down the prom from the pier. The expected time markers made not sense (the quickest being 1:40) so the start was a free-for-all but that was quickly solved on the Durley Chine hill! That hill takes the puff out of you massively but once you get back on the beach at Alum Chine, you can easily settle into a fast pace. Support around the pier was excellent. A saw a comment about the 1k race getting in the way to the race start. You could, of course, walk through the entrance to the winter gardens to get around it - but there were no signs saying this. Similiarly I don't recall seeing a sign pointing towards the left for the t-shirts and bags after the finish so anyone turning right would have missed them.This really is a great race in a very picturesque location, especially when the weather is so good.Date of review: April 4, 2011
In short: It's the big finish that makes this one goodIn full: No doubt about it, take away the superb finish in the Madejski Stadium and this is a fairly average half marathon with too many runners. Support is great in many parts but it lacks on the A33 when you most need it from mile 11 to Green Park. Marshaling is good, as are drink stations (with energy drinks as well as bottled water) but the issues remain the same: too many runners for the roads at the start of the race, too many runners starting in the wrong places and holding up the pack, and another late start; Reading HM always struggles to go on time.The organisers still need to find that extra mile so runners don't need to do the demoralising out and back at green park at mile 12. BUT the run into the stadium to finish is truly a great end to a race. The support is loud and the atmosphere fantastic. This really is the main reason to run this congested mass participation run.Date of review: April 4, 2011
In short: Consistantly good. Excellent marshallingIn full: Second time I've run this and its been improved by relocating the start so you run the race track circuit at the start rather than the previous soul-destroying finish. I don't like multi-lap events usually but moving into the second 10 mile lap seemed fine (even with the 10 mile racers finishing next to you). The course is great for marathon training. A few undulations to work all leg muscles and some nice scenery. Excellent giveaways at end, choc bars, drinks etc. Date of review: April 4, 2011
In short: Top event, great scenery, great multi-terrain - shocking weather!In full: This is a very well organised event. Nice seafront course, along a prom, in and out of a marina, across a harbour beach (muddy by name...), common land, roads, playing fields and back on the prom. Very varied.Nice and flat so should be a PB special BUT the weather was a shocker. Non-stop rain was one thing but the wind, especially in the last 4 along the seafront, was a shocker! Running against a wind brick wall all added to the challenge.Marshalling excellent (especially in the dreadful rain) but did wonder why the road crossing by Milton Common was missing someone.Would definitely come back. In fact, I'm going to try the marathon in the December.Date of review: February 14, 2011
In short: Brilliantly organised. Hardcore hills. Muddy fun.In full: Despite all the recent rain, the course was much easier under foot than in 2009. However, that hill was still there! This is an awesome trail race. Brilliantly organised and great value. A real small-club-run feel and some great cakes and bacon rolls at the end. I would recommend this one again and again. Expect lots of mud and lots of hills.Date of review: January 17, 2011
In short: Muddy, filthy funIn full: Brilliant XC run with lots of mud. First 3 miles is pretty tame then you hit sand trenches full of muddy water. Then lots of mud thereafter. The final mile or so is deep mud but much easier than last year's (when everyone was having to pull each other out of the waist/chest bog!). 9 odd miles is plenty on this one. Great goody bag, t-shirt and parking is excellent.Date of review: November 24, 2010
In short: Excellent bumpy course, always like the ease of parking at startIn full: Phew I've read a few complaints about this one which is a pity because the fire station guys regularly throw great events. Those who didn't get a goody bag shouldn't worry - its was the usual assortment of nothing (I really wouldn't bother with these full stop, any race). I agree on the water stops - I would have expected at least one more but it wasn't the end of the world. The guy at the start really needed a PA/megafone as nobody could hear it and I would definitely have the start on the road like the 10m to avoid the congestion.All-in-all a nice small event half marathon at a good value price.So that aside, this is a cracker of a race. Lovely country course with plenty of testing hills but a really fast final 3/4m. Traffic for me was no issue and I didn't think more marshalls were really needed. Gun to chip is fine for me on a small race like this and I have my own watch anyway.Date of review: October 18, 2010
In short: Marvellous course and well-organised event. Maybe the best marathon I've runIn full: So it had tipped it down for a couple of days so we knew what to expect - mud and lots of it. We were quite lucky that after 2 hours or so the rain eased off. The course is tough with lots of hills - which gets tougher from mile 16 hill until the end. Some tarmac sections but not much. Very good marshalling and enough water stations with squash, bananas and jelly babies (I'm greedy so would have liked to see crackers and/or biscuits for my salt/sugar fix). I thoroughly enjoyed this run and even managed to speed up in the last 3 miles - it was quite a novelty overttaking people!No stress getting or leaving the event - just a good run. Definitely one to go back to in 2011.Date of review: October 4, 2010
In short: A very scenic...but brutal...marathonIn full: What a brilliantly organised event! Good parking, decent facilities at start, registration easy and racing chips included. There were so many marshals on the route that you just couldn't go the wrong way and they were very supportive. Feeding stations with plenty of choice (water, orange, blackcurrant - biscuits and crackers for salt). An enthusiastic crowd egging you on at the end of a tough race.But the course, that was tough. First 10 seemed a bit lumpy with a few hills but miles 5-10 mostly downhill; then there was the massive St Martha's hill (550ft climb) and lots of sand to make it tougher (the sand on tracks continued for much of the race). When you reached the top there were absolutely magnificent views across the North Downs. The second half seemed much lumpier (including a cheeky climb up to St Catherine's ruins) with the sand on many tracks making thing tougher plus a lot of styles to climb with aching muscles.A really demanding but well organised race in a beautiful area.Date of review: September 20, 2010
In short: Consistently good year after yearIn full: A really good MT race with some killer hills not least the never-ending haul not far from the end. Very supportive marshals (expecially that lady at mile 8!). Well organised rural event in the national park. Much better weather this year with dust replacing the mud!Date of review: August 16, 2010

Better Courts Now: Seeking Judges With a Christian Bias
When Better Courts Now was launched back in March, its stated goal was to see right-wing judges elected "across San Diego County and eventually America." For now, the group is focusing on California and has, in recent weeks, been making it clear that they are not looking to support merely conservative judges, but Christian judges who will carry out God's will on the bench.
The election is tomorrow and pastor Brian Hendry, who is running the group, really wants to make their goal clear:
"We've always been involved in the political realm, in believing that too often Christians have dropped the ball over the years and have allowed...an agenda that's not a biblical agenda to take over," Hendry explains. "In our prayers and in looking for different ways to attack, we realized, especially in California, that the judiciary was definitely an area that had been running amok, if you will."
He contends that judicial activists have tried to push a social agenda, such as when the state Supreme Court legalized, albeit for a short time, homosexual marriage. Better Courts Now wants godly men on the bench, but opponents say Christian judges would be activists for Christ.
"To say that somehow a Christian coming in with a biblical worldview will give them a bias that will lead them to not be able to follow the law -- we actually believe that bias, if you will, or that worldview helps them to follow the law, because they stand on virtues and principles that they cannot violate," Hendry contends.
Hendry was also the guest on "WallBuilders Live" last Friday where he discussed this effort with Rick Green, who recently lost his own run for the state Supreme Court. To say that Green was excited by this new effort would be a massive understatement, as Green and Hendry spent a large part of the interview discussing their desire to see this operation duplicated all across the country.
So it should not come as a surprise if we see some sort of WallBuilders/Better Court Now joint operation emerge down the road.

Sales Tax is statutorily imposed on the sale, transfer, barter, licensing, lease,
rental, use or other consumption of tangible personal property in Nevada.
Sales/use legislation was initially enacted in Nevada in 1955.
Persons who are in the business of selling or transferring tangible
personal property.
Taxes are due in the period when the sales transaction takes place and
cannot be delayed until the retailer actually receives payment from the
Nearly all tangible personal property transferred for value is
taxable. Most goods, wares and merchandise are taxable in Nevada.
Services necessary to complete the sale of tangible personal property are
taxable. Only installation and repair/reconditioning service is not taxable if
it is separately stated on the invoice and as of May 2009 transportation,
shipping and postage charges are not taxable if separately stated on the customer's
invoice. Other items that are not taxable include unprepared food, farm
machinery and equipment, newspapers, and interest, finance and carrying charges
on credit sales. You may write to the Department of Taxation at any of the
District offices about the taxability of a specific item.
As of May 22, 2009 any charges for freight, transportation or delivery in connection with the sale of tangible personal property separately stated to the end user are NOT taxable pursuant to AB403. Handling, packaging, and crating or any other services in connection with the freight, transportation or delivery are still taxable even if separately stated. Charges for freight or transportation before the sale of tangible personal property (in-bound freight) is taxable as either part of the sales price of the product or a pass through freight charge stated separately from the product sold on the invoice to the end user.
Yes. Sales tax is due from the lessee on all tangible personal
property leased or rented. An option is given on how to pay this tax.
Sales Tax can be paid on the total cost at time of purchase of the property, or
Sales Tax can be paid on the total lease or rental charges within this
State. NRS 372.060, 372.085, 372.105
Fabrication labor is always subject to Sales/Use Tax when the tangible
personal property is sold at retail. Repair/reconditioning and
installation labor is not subject to tax if it is separately stated on the
invoice. NAC 372.380, 372.390-372.400 and NRS 372.025 and
In Nevada, Sales/Use Tax is imposed on the sale, transfer, lease,
rental, use, or other consumption of tangible personal property for
consideration. Services not in conjunction with a sale of tangible
personal property are not subject to Sales Tax. However, the provider of
the services has a Use Tax liability on the materials and equipment used or
consumed in providing the service. Nevada Revised Statute
372.085, 372.105 and 372.185
Yes, if they are purchased for use or storage in Nevada. In order to be
registered in Nevada, proof that Sales Tax has been paid to Nevada or another
state is required on all licensed vehicles (cars, trucks, motorcycles,
trailers) aircraft and off highway vehicles. If proof cannot be provided, Use
Tax must be paid to Nevada. Sales Tax legitimately paid to another state is
applied as a credit towards Nevada Use Tax due. NAC
Yes, if the boat is purchased for use or storage in Nevada. Nevada does
honor Sales Tax paid to another state in an amount equivalent to Nevada's.
If you purchased a boat and trailer from an out-of-state dealer and paid Sales
Tax to that state at an equivalent rate, your Sales Tax obligation has been
met. If you paid Sales Tax at a lesser rate to another state, you
will need to pay the difference directly to Nevada. If you did not
pay Sales Tax at the point of purchase, then Nevada Sales/Use Tax is owed on
the purchase price, including all accessories. Please, bring all pertinent
documentation to the Department of Taxation office to pay the tax and receive a
tax clearance, you may then proceed to the Department of Motor Vehicles to
register the trailer and the Division of Wildlife to complete the required
registration for the boat. NAC 372.055
Sales Tax applies in the retail sales of beer, wine, and liquor to the
entire amount charged for the product, including the amount of all other state
and federal taxes imposed on the product. NAC 372.150
The gross receipts from the sale, furnishing or service of, and the
storage, use or other consumption of any matter used to produce domestic heat
by burning, without limitation, wood, coal, petroleum and gas are exempt from
Sales and Use Tax in Nevada. NRS 372.300
The sale of postage stamps through vending machines is not subject to
Sales Tax because such stamps represent an intangible right to receive services
and are not tangible personal property. The tax applies to sales of coins
and uncancelled stamps at a premium price (exceeds 50% of the face value) for
purposes other than use as a medium of exchange or postage. The tax does
not apply to sales of coins or uncancelled stamps, even though sold at a
premium price, if the purpose of the use of the coins or stamps is as a medium
of exchange or postage. NRS 372.085 and NAC 372.170
No. Products delivered electronically or by load and leave are not
subject to Nevada Sales or Use Tax. However, products ordered via the internet
and shipped into Nevada are taxable, as well as any software transferred via a
disk or other tangible media. A box of software or other product shipped to
customers in this state is physical, tangible personal property and subject to
sales tax.
No, only companies registered to collect Nevada Sales Tax. If a seller
is not registered to collect and remit Nevada Sales Tax, the Nevada purchaser
must pay Use Tax directly to the State of Nevada.
Yes. However, it must be specifically and clearly stated that
"Nevada Sales Tax is included" in the price paid. A retailer may
include the tax in the sales price of an item but if he does so, he shall
notify the public by posting a sign which is visible to all customers or on the
sales receipt a statement that the Sales Tax is included in the sales
price. In the absence of such a notification, the total amount charged to
the customer shall be deemed to be the price of the item. NAC 372.760
The goal of this effort is to find solutions for the complexity in state
sales tax systems that resulted in the U.S. Supreme Court holding that a state
may not require a seller that does not have a physical presence in the state to
collect tax on sales into the state. The Court ruled that the existing
system was too complicated to impose on a business that did not have a physical
presence in the state. The Court said Congress has the authority to allow
states to require remote sellers to collect tax.
The result of this work is the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement.
The purpose of the Agreement is to simplify and modernize sales and use tax
administration in order to substantially reduce the burden of tax compliance.
The Agreement focuses on improving sales and use tax administration
systems for all sellers and for all types of commerce.
Nevada offers Sales/Use Tax deferral and Sales Tax abatement programs on
the purchases of capital equipment for a new or expanding business. All
companies interested in these incentive programs can contact The Commission on
Economic Development at (775) 687-4325 or at http://www.expand2nevada.com
for an application. NRS 372.397, NRS 374.357, NAC
Yes, In accordance with NAC 360.440 through 360.448,
a taxpayer may apply for voluntary disclosure with the Department which may
result in waiver of penalty and interest. The Nevada Tax Commission has the
final approval authority for the waiver. The taxpayer or his representative
must file an application for voluntary disclosure before the Department has
initiated an audit or investigation of the taxpayer. If a taxpayer is registered
for one tax type and voluntarily discloses another tax type, they can qualify
for waiver of the penalty and interest pertaining to the newly disclosed tax
only. The Nevada Tax Commission has the final approval authority for the
waiver. The application for voluntary disclosure can be found by clicking on
the Forms tab.
Yes, but organizations are not automatically exempt by their Federal
501(c) status. Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 372.326 provides for an exemption
from Sales/Use Tax for non-profit organizations created for religious,
charitable, or educational purposes, however, organizations must apply for, and
receive approval for exempt entity status by the Department of Taxation. If an
organization qualifies, it will receive a letter from the department stating it
is exempt. Organizations are not automatically exempt by their Federal 501(c)
(3) status. The Application for Exempt Status is a two page
form and can be downloaded by clicking on the Tax Forms tab. Automatically
downloaded with the application are the related statutes that define the
requirements for qualification. An exempt organization must renew its status
every five years. Nevada state and local government agencies and agencies of
the federal government are exempt by statute (NRS 372.325 & NAC 372.680),
so an exemption letter from the Department is not required.
The Department has an approval process to review organizations applying
for the religious/charitable/educational Sales/Use Tax exemption program. Upon
approval, an exemption letter on Department letterhead with an exemption number
will be issued then mailed to the qualifying organization. NRS 372.3261
If tangible personal property is being purchased for resale at retail,
or to incorporate the property into a final product for sale or resale, that
purchaser can provide the vendor with a "resale certificate". The
certificate represents the purchaser's assurance that the property is for
eventual resale and the tax will be charged then. The certificate must contain
a general description of the kind of property purchased for resale and the
buyer's and seller's name. If delivered electronically it does not have to be
signed. Resale certificates should be updated every two to three years. Out of
State resale certificates are acceptable in Nevada as long as they contain the
above mentioned requirements.
Blank resale certificates can be purchased at most stationery stores. It
is important, however, to make sure the form you purchase complies with NAC 372.730, which shows
the form must include the items mentioned above. You can also download a
blank resale certificate by clicking on the Forms page.
Nevada does not have a specific form to amend your Sales Tax return. You
may amend a previously filed Sales/Use Tax return by one of two methods: Method A-Amend Individual Tax Returns:1. Copy the Sales/Use Tax
return for the period (month/quarter) in which sales/use was originally paid.
2. Write "AMENDED" in black, in the upper right hand corner of the tax return.
3. Line-through original figures for each county in which tax was originally
reported, in black, leaving original figures legible.
4. Enter corrected figures, in black next to lined through figures.
5. Indicate amount of credit claimed.
6. Include a written explanation and documentation substantiating the basis of
the credit claim.
7. Indicate whether a refund is requested or whether a credit will be used to
meet current/future tax liability.Method B-Spreadsheet to include:
1. Periods (months/quarters) in which tax was originally paid and county in
which tax was originally reported.
2. Original tax measure and original amount of tax paid and county in which
3. Corrected tax measure and corrected amount of tax due/credit claimed for
each county where tax originally reported.
4. Total amount of tax credit claimed for all periods in all counties.
5. Include a written explanation and documentation substantiating the basis of
the credit claim.
6. Indicate whether a refund is requested or whether a credit will be used to
meet current/future tax liability.
You may make your payment online by logging into your "NevadaTax"
account. Place your cursor above the word "pay", click on either "pay an
underpaid account period" or "schedule a payment". Continue with the
instructions given. We currently accept ACH debit payments as well as ACH credit.
The bankruptcy trustee is appointed to liquidate your nonexempt assets
and pay your creditors according to the priority set by the bankruptcy code.
Usually there are insufficient funds to cover your debts, which is why you
filed for bankruptcy protection initially. A discharge is granted to
provide you relief from your debts. However, a discharge only cancels those
types of debts which are entitled to a discharge under the bankruptcy code.
Often people are surprised to find that certain types of debts are exempt from
the discharge and therefore collectible after the discharge is
granted. Sales Tax is exempt from the discharge granted in bankruptcy
because it is a priority tax debt. Your liability for priority taxes is
never canceled under a Chapter 7 discharge, because priority taxes (including
penalty and interest) are a non-dischargeable debt under 11 U.S.C. sec 523
(a)(1)(A). This gives the Department the right to pursue collection of this
debt once your discharge is granted. If you filed a Chapter 13 debt
adjustment or Chapter 11 reorganization, you would pay your priority taxes
through your bankruptcy plan. If your bankruptcy was dismissed or
converted to a chapter 7, you would have to make arrangements with the
Department to pay your remaining tax balance. You should discuss any
legal issues you may have with your attorney.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.2 /5 from 154 reviews
Great- bed was so comfy I didn't want to leave. I ate at the restaurant which was a little pricey but the service I was given was really good. Pool looked small but the whirlpool was pretty warm for most of the time I spent there. Remember to call the hotel from the airport if you want to get picked up by the shuttle: I thought you can just wait at the terminal stop for hotel shuttles since it's supposed to come every 30mins but I waited for 45mins then finally called and the shuttle came within a few minutes.
A couple of broken light switches and a non working outlet are a couple of signs this hotel could use some refurbishing.
Reglar business stay for 1 night Easy check in procedure and great "late night service" - possible to order food via front desk to room.
Good hotel but not spectacular, adequately priced. Location a bit inconvenient. A really good aspect is that the rooms have microwaves and the reception sells plenty of microwavable food.
Overall great. Hotels.com reservation could not be found. Wasted over an hour trying to find it and get checked in. Staff were very kind and supportive.
