5.0 out of 5 stars Tax Saving Tactics For Non-Dom's - Great Addition To A Wonderful Series,
im1rarebird (Jacksonville Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tax Saving Tactics for Non-Doms: The New Rules for Non-Domiciled Taxpayers (Paperback)
Lee Hadnum takes great care in explaining the ever changing tax laws, so much so that it is easy to understand by all. The UK taxation laws are extremely technical and to find a publication that breaks it all down to its simplest components is refreshing. Lee uses lots of different examples to help you gain a proper understanding of each principle presented. The books are updated each year so that you always get the latest tax law information.
There are a lot of people in the UK classified for tax purposes as non-domiciled, if they have businesses abroad as well as being a foreign national they cannot avoid paying UK taxes on income earned outside of the country. This is a very complicated law with many stipulations. Becoming classified as non-Dom is great but the money has to stay offshore, once it enters the UK you can be taxed on it.
The first half of the book explains who will qualify for this status. It is not as easy as it may seem and the book even explains that it may even be more advantages to claim UK domicile as opposed to being a foreign national. The UK recently put into law an anti-avoidance legislation that makes claiming non-Dom harder. This is also talked about in this book.
Hadnum explains how to structure a portfolio that is 100% tax free for foreign investments. This is one book that you would do well to have in your Lee Hadnum collection.
4.0 out of 5 stars Clear and Informative Tax Information,
This review is from: Tax Saving Tactics for Non-Doms: The New Rules for Non-Domiciled Taxpayers (Paperback)
For those with absolutely zero knowledge of tax and accounting Lee Hadnum's books are a reasonable starting point for gathering information on the subject; this particular book covers the issues faced by foreign nationals living in England and includes a discussion of overseas investment and British taxation, particularly for those attempting to prove non-domiciled status.
With a clear writing style Hadnum uses various examples of relevant court cases to compliment his explanations, highlighting the possible directionality and outcome of various tax related scenarios. He uses this book as an opportunity to refer to the most recent budget (April 2013) and discusses how legal changes brought in over the last ten years effect the eligibility of foreign nationals to various government benefits and financial subsidies including capital gains tax and interheritance tax.
The most helpful chapter in my opinion is the one dedicated to filling out a tax return, a daunting task for many of us; Hadnum takes the reader through the process in a clear and straight forward fashion.
4.0 out of 5 stars Clearly Written,
This review is from: Tax Saving Tactics for Non-Doms: The New Rules for Non-Domiciled Taxpayers (Paperback)
The main focus of this book is on foreign nationals living in the UK. It deals with non-domiciled individuals and shows that proving non-dom status is not always straight forward. The book cites many court cases where specific points regarding residency have been under consideration. It also gives tips on how to retain the non- domiciled status.
Major changes in the law since April 6th 2008 are discussed in some depth, and advice is given on how the changes affect the gain and loss of certain allowances.
Capital gains and inheritance tax are discussed and the book covers new rules from 6th April 2013.
This book is very clear in the advice and information that it gives, it is written in a matter of fact way and the author provides plenty of examples for the reader to learn from. There is even a chapter devoted to completing a tax return.
As with all his books Lee Hadnum states that the advice of a professional should always be sought - however, this book contains useful information for any non-domiciled person residing in the UK and looking to save money.
5.0 out of 5 stars Totally clear,
This review is from: Tax Saving Tactics for Non-Doms: The New Rules for Non-Domiciled Taxpayers (Paperback)
This is a great guide for non-domiciled UK taxpayers. It is well-structured, lucid and up-to-date. To the immense gratitude of those who have never studied these subjects, Hadnum explains the meaning of "domicile", and the three main types (domicile of origin, choice and dependency), with reference to the relevant case law. He carefully summarises the tax benefits of being non-domiciled, in terms of inheritance, capital gains and income tax, and does his best to clear up the muddy waters of "remittance" for various parties.
In later chapters, although these were less useful to me, I also learned about non-dom investment strategies such as deferred income, offshore bonds and tax-free overseas investment portfolios. Hadnum dealt with all of my potential queries in his FAQ section, and I couldn't recommend this book more highly.
5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive,
This review is from: Tax Saving Tactics for Non-Doms: The New Rules for Non-Domiciled Taxpayers (Paperback)
The tax rules for those who are not UK-domiciled (i.e. not legally resident in the UK) are in a state of contant flux. Hadnum's excellent book explains, in common sense terms and without jargon, how non-domiciled individuals can reduce their UK tax bills in the face of these changes.
I've never studied accountancy or law, so I came to Hadnum's book (and a couple of his others) as a novice. However, I now feel as though I pretty comprehensively understand the issues. I can already feel my wallet bulging. Of particularly high quality was chapter 8, on the closing of remittance loopholes. Acquaintances had advised me to exploit these, obviously based on out-of-date info. I learned that since April 2008, it has become far more difficult than it used to be for non-doms to bring money into the UK without it being taxed.
Be warned that "UK" doesn't (for the sake of taxation law) include the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man, so if you are liable to be taxed by those jurisdictions, you'll have to consult additional materials.

Is Your Blog An Easter Egg Hunt?
Is your blog an Easter egg hunt? Specifically, do you make your target audience work hard to find your blog content?
Without your realizing it, the best parts of your content can be hidden and difficult to find. It's like an Easter egg that's buried too far from sight and your guests have to hunt forever to find it.
11 Actionable blogging tips involving difficult-to-find information
Overlooking or minimizing certain blogging features and activities can hinder your prospects and customers ability to find the information that will lead them to take the actions you desire.
- Lacks effective formatting. You can have the best content in the world but readers view it as a yawn. Understand that over 90% of readers will leave your blog without reading one word! Actionable Blogging Tip: Break your blog content into bite size chunks and ensure that it's easy-to-scan through the use of outlining and other techniques. (Here's thirteen ways to format your content for success.)
- Doesn't incorporate any branding. If your blog looks like it could appear on any business website, you've got a problem. Actionable Blogging Tip: You must integrate your branding into your blog including the voice.
- Doesn't offer a mobile version. In today's always-on media landscape, your website must be available on any device whenever your audience is ready to use it. (Not convinced? Check out these sixty-nine mobile facts.) Actionable Blogging Tip: Ensure that your blog content can be read on a mobile device. You can use a mobile website, mobile app or responsive design to overcome this hurdle.
- Isn't optimized for search. Blogs support search optimization but this doesn't happen magically. Actionable Blogging Tip: Create each post around a keyword phrase. Use magnetic titles and images to attract readers. Also, incorporate keywords into your title and post links. (For more information on using a blog for search optimization, here's what fifteen experts recommend.)
- Doesn't socialize. A blog should be at the center of your social media offering. Chris Brogan refers to a blog as your social media homebase. Actionable Blogging Tip: Socializing your blog involves sharing your blog content across relevant social media platforms where your target audience participates. Additionally, it refers to including social sharing icons to facilitate distribution by your visitors.
- Contains only generic information that exists elsewhere. To attract and retain an audience, you need to provide useful content on a regular basis. Further it's critical to avoid duplicate content or it can hurt your blog's ranking on search engines. Actionable Blogging Tip: Use an editorial calendar to help you plan your content for a month at a time. Additionally, ensure that your content is unique and useful for your readers. If you're not sure what to offer them, then ask either at the end of a blog post or within it.
- Buries your best content near the end of the column. Bear in mind that many content consumers are just content grazers. They're looking for an easy way to gather and snack on information. Actionable Blogging Tip: You need to put your best content front and center because you can't hope that a reader will keep slogging through until they get to your point. Make it easy for prospects to get their questions answered.
- Doesn't include an About page. Readers and visitors want to see who's behind the content. Actionable Blogging Tip: Make your About page easy-to-find and include images so that readers know that there are people behind your blog.
- Has no way to contact you. You'd think that this point would be a slam dunk but the reality is that many bloggers put so much work into the other aspects of their blog they omit the contact page. Actionable Blogging Tip: Provide visitors with a way to contact you. It's even better if you offer more than one option such as phone number, chat, email and social media.
- Doesn't link to appropriate product on your website. You can't hope that your audience will leave your blog and head straight to the appropriate page of your product. Actionable Blogging Tip: Make sure that you link to the specific page on your website especially where your content references a specific product. Additionally, make the product page link back to the blog post.
- Lacks links to related content. Your blog posts should link to relevant information both on your blog or website and third party sites where applicable. Actionable Blogging Tip: Include at least one or two links to your own content as well as to third party content.
Regardless of the time of year, make sure that you're not creating an Easter egg hunt on your blog where important information is obfuscated.
Is your blog content obscured without your realizing it?

Why Modern B2B Marketers Need Predictive MarketingPredictive modeling is rapidly becoming something that every company needs to survive.
Not so long ago, predictive modeling was a luxury item: a sophisticated tool used by big companies to squeeze another five or ten percent improvement from selected marketing programs. Today, it is rapidly becoming something that every company needs to survive.
The change is being driven by the speed of business. Shifts that formerly took weeks, months, or years can now occur in days, hours, or minutes as news flashes through online channels and social networks and customers change their behaviors in response. New products, new competitors, new messages, new applications, new problems, and new media can appear overnight.
In this eBook, marketing technology expert David Raab from Raab Associates discusses why the time for predictive marketing is now and then explores practical applications of predictive marketing for B2B.

All this notwithstanding, let me say that is a new breed of music magazine. We provide feature articles and reviews on regional and international acts, all with sound clips included so viewers can listen to the artists that theyre reading about. We also do profiles of up-and-coming bands. In addition, youll find movie reviews and travel pieces because, basically, we like to go to the movies and travel a lot. (The Bunnies get restless without the occasional jaunt on the Hefner Lear Jet.)
Our content constantly changes (to view former front pages, see NY Rock Gallery), so I would advise you to stop back often. I should also mention that we feature a free Bulletin Board and, of course, Confidential written by the ever ebullient diva of Downtown NYC, Didi Delicious.
I now leave you to explore the rest of the site on your own. Check out some of our features and reviews (we've got stories on artists and celebrities such as David Bowie, U2, Marilyn Manson, NY Loose, Mary Blige, Howard Stern, etc.). Its time for my 2:00 pedicure to be performed by Bunnies #37B and #58A and then my 3:00 body massage to be administered by Miss July.

Brother brokers and former Corcoran agents Zachary and Cody Vichinsky have struck out on their own with Bespoke Real Estate, the first brokerage to focus exclusively on marketing homes and property in the Hamptons that are priced at or above $10 million. [more]

A beachfront property on Southampton's Gin Lane will hit the market for the first time in more than 50 years with an asking price of $50 million.
The 4-acre parcel is next door to Wooldon Manor, which Scott A. Bommer, founder of hedge fund SAB Capital, bought for $75 million and then almost immediately sold for more than $80 million, the Wall Street Journal reported. Tim Davis of Corcoran Group, who handled the sale for Bommer, will also represent the owner of the property, William G. McKnight, according to the newspaper. [more]

Developers, brokers, lawyers, lenders and marketers had their game faces on, but made sure to make time to talk business between shots. See the full story and slideshow after the jump.

"You're seeing growth," said Elliman President and CEO Dottie Herman. "Normal, healthy growth. Nothing over the top." [more]
The second quarter of the year was a mixed bag for the Hamptons real estate market. Sales activity jumped from a year ago, but total sales volume slumped and the area's median sales price lifted only slightly.
While the number of homes sold in all markets jumped 5 percent, total home sales volume fell 12 percent to $782.7 million from $890.1 million, according to a report from Hamptons brokerage Town & Country. [more]
The Hamptons and a stretch of the South Shore on Long Island lack storm protections nearly two years after Hurricane Sandy.
The state and federal government have yet to review a $750 million Army Corps of Engineers project – known as the Fire Island to Montauk Point Reformulation Study – that would reconstruct dunes and salt marshes. The plan would also allow for houses to be bought out from Montauk to Fire Island. Work is slated to start in September. [more]

Artists of the Doyon Studio & Gallery in Camarillo, Ca. are presenting "Here's Looking at You" September 8 – 30, 2010 at the Thousand Oaks Community Gallery 2331 Borchard Newbury Park, Ca. (Next to the Newbury Park Library)
Phyllis Doyon, owner & instructor of the studio, challenged her artists to paint a self-portrait in a style that speaks of their personality. The participating artists created some unique, colorful images of themselves which appear on the postcard invitation to the exhibit. The originals will be featured along with other paintings by these artists. Stop by the gallery which will be open daily from 1 – 5 pm or attend the reception Friday, September 10 from 5:30 – 8 pm to see if you can match portrait to artist. Charis Werner will not have her horse. Heather Williams will leave her cats at home—but Lea Shmoldas may wear her crown—depending on the princess's wishes. The horse, cats and crown can be found in their self- portraits. All the other artists will be wearing their gracious smiles as they welcome you to "Here's Looking at You".

text: an unofficial, unauthorised music video for the first track of the dark third by pure reason revolution i made this for the makega.me pageant "one hit wonder" in which you are supposed to make a game based around a song. i actually wanted to do this around the whole album - i've had a narrative in my head for a long time based on this album (though only really for the first four tracks). i was gonna do the first three tracks, which would be fifteen minutes, but the narrative changed to fit the medium and making the latter parts interesting and coherent is proving difficult (i intend to finish it at some point) i think this turned out really well, but improvements can always be made. there are some things driven by limitations, but i've incorporated them into my own interpretation of the piece and i like it how it is. i've play tested this so much that when i hear the song now i see this. it's interesting how working on this has changed how i perceive a track that i frequently listen to - will this be forever bound to the track in my mind? pure reason revolution gamedev music unity3d
