Unfortunately I did not get out to the island due to weather, which I had been warned might happen When I booked. I exchanged several emails and ph calls with Billy leading up to the trip, with prompt response and helpful info.
We had an absolutely fantastic stay on the Great Blasket, Billy and Killian were so helpful and very quick to reply to any queries we had. Would definitely recommend getting the boat with the lads as the views along the coast are breathtaking.
Very comfortable and clean accommodation and surprisingly warm :) Had one of the best nights sleep, only the waves and seals to keep you awake.
Thanks Lads, we will 100% be back some time
Unfortunately we weren't able to reach Great Blasket Island because there were no ferries going at this day because of the stormy weather. To contact Billy was very easy and he refunded the payment without hesitation. Great correspondence. Next time I'm around I'll try to book Billy's offer again.
Billy and Killian were amazing hosts, and there accommodations were perfect for what became the best 3 nights of our 3 week vacation on the Blaskets!
Wij vonden de locatie supper. Mooi eiland en mooi strandje. Ook super met de zeehonden. De beheerder heeft ons het huisje laten zien en onze bedden opgemaakt. Hij hielp ons als we vragen hadden. Meer hebben we ook niet van hem verwacht.
Stay at Blasket island is an axeperience that can change your life! Billy was not in the island instead there were Killiar. What i nice guy. I was the only guest so i could taste the hostel like a private house. I will return as soon as possible.
I enjoy everything ,if you are a person that love nature and wildlife this is a place for you!
I was on the Island last week for 3 days with my sister, my mother and 2 brothers. The island is amazing. It's undiscribeble. You can see the beauty of the world. It's a gift. It's so quiet that i totaly felt calm. I didn't know that the world had so beautiful spot like here. The people are also very friendly. Kylian catched fish for us. that was so lovely. I felt at home immidiatly. I am sure I will come back. It's so peaceful. It's like heaven on earth on this Island.

Dr. Robert Putnam talks about religion in America
Zack Baddorf
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
The United States is religiously devout yet also religiously tolerant. That's according to Professor Robert Putnam. He wrote a book on how religion units and divides Americans and he spoke last Thursday about the topic at Forum Truth in Sarasota.
Putnam told about 200 Bay Area residents about the results of research he conducted for his new book, âAmerican Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us.â After surveying 3,000 Americans in 2006 and 2007, he found that since the 1950s, Americans have become much more religiously polarized with more now very religious and more not religious at all.
But he says most Americans are also more tolerant. âAnd the reason for that is that over these same years when in public we fight more about religious issues, in private we built more and more personal ties that cross our religious boundaries," Putnam said. "So intermarriage for example is way up.â
Putnam, who is the Malcolm Professor of Public Policy at Harvard University, said part of the reason for this is Americans live in less segregated communities than they used to.
âWe used to live in a Catholic part of town or a Protestant part of town or in a Catholic region or a Protestant region. We didnât have friends across faith lines. And we really didnât know people of other religions. But thatâs been transformed as people went to school and get to know and then become attracted in romantic terms and now right now in the year 2010, most marriages are interfaith marriages,â he said.
He said there's much less discrimination among people of different religions.
"We asked people to rank how they felt about all the religions in the country and astonishingly the two most popular religions, not among their own members but among other people, the two most popular religions in America now are Jews and Catholics, which certainly 50 years ago or 100 years ago would not have been the case,â Putnam explained.
The religion with the least support in America is Islam.
Putnam said the average American is âhostileâ toward Muslims⦠but also toward Buddhists. So Putnam believes the hostility toward Islam is not a result of terrorism by Islamist extremists. He says itâs just âstrangenessâ â a lack of information and familiarity.
âIt has to do with the fact that we just donât know people and the average American is a little standoffish and therefore there are these anti-Muslim incidents for example that are regrettable. They are regrettable and Iâm not defending them at all. But I would think in fact thatâs a kind of stage that weâre going through with respect to new Islamic Americans hat we used to go through with respected to Jewish Americans or Catholic Americans,â Putnam added.
Putnam said itâs hard to predict what will happen but heâs optimistic that Americans will follow the âadapting and welcoming pathâ followed in the past.
Donna Palmer attended Putnamâs presentation in Sarasota and said she found his research âfascinating.â The Buffalo, New York, native said religion is unique to each person in America.
âI think it would be a shame if we lost that. Because we arenât just material, weâre spiritual. And if our spirituality isnât authentic, itâs really of no use,â she said.
Norman Plotnick from Longboat Key was also at the event. He says Putnam was âright on the money.â Plotnick said Americans should strive to learn more about other people and their religions. He says there are actually little differences between us.
âWe are all the same," Plotnick said. "We believe the same. We want the same. We wish the same for our children and our grandchildren. To have a good life, to be able to practice religion in the way that you wish. And if you donât wish to practice religion, thatâs all the more better, if it suits you.â
Putnam echoes this message, saying heâs optimistic about religious tolerance in America.
âDonât believe the kind of fun house mirror that we get from the media, especially the more sensationalist media, which says No weâre divided into these two shouting groups, shouting at each other. In fact we are all of us a pretty tolerant people. We have different views of course but weâve learned over the decades to get along so cool it," said Putnam.comments powered by Disqus

Point-Counterpoint: With the departure of Rudy Carpenter, ASU's starting QB job is wide open. Which player should be under center come this fall?
Point-Counterpoint: With the departure of Rudy Carpenter, ASU's starting QB job is wide open. Which player should be under center come this fall?
Sullivan has earned a shot at the starting job
-Scott Bordow
I'll admit that I have serious questions regarding Danny Sullivan's ability to be a capable quarterback in the Pac-10. He certainly didn't inspire any confidence with his performances against NAU and USC last season.
Fans get look at QBs in ASU spring game
That said, I think Sullivan deserves first crack at the Arizona State starting quarterback job.
By all accounts, he's had an impressive spring; coach Dennis Erickson said he's never seen Sullivan throw the ball better.
Plus, what exactly has Samson Szakacsy done to make anyone believe he's ready to take over?
Besides, we all know 6-foot-8 Brock Osweiler will be the starter next year; ASU's coaches practically drool when talking about the freshman.
So let Sullivan be the caretaker this season before the Osweiler era begins.
Szakacsy has more mobility, potential
-Kyle Odegard
Arizona State should go with Samson Szakacsy under center next season.
The offensive line is dealing with a myriad of injuries this spring, and even if all the linemen stay healthy, it still won't be a dominant group.
Szakacsy has the ability to scramble and make plays with his legs, which will force opposing defenses to stay honest.
He is also a sophomore, while Danny Sullivan is a senior. Next year's record will likely improve on 2008's disappointing mark, but the real breakout year is 2010, when coach Dennis Erickson's last two recruiting classes hit the field.
If Szakacsy starts next season, he will get much-needed experience leading a team. There is not much difference in overall talent in the top two signal callers, so it's better to go with the long-term solution.

Department of Biomedical Sciences
My laboratory has discovered specific protein and gene expression abnormalities in discrete areas of the human brain, i.e. the noradrenergic locus coeruleus and the amygdala, that are associated with severe depression. Recent findings by other laboratories have demonstrated that glia in several areas of the brain are reduced in clinical depression. These glial findings are intriguing because glia and noradrenergic neurons have a very special and intimate relationship. In some areas of the brain, noradrenergic neurons make contacts solely with glia and not with other neurons. Glia express receptors for norepinephrine and communicate to noradrenergic neurons via a variety of gliotransmitters, including cytokines and growth factors. Hence, our current research is focusing on the bi-directional communication between glia and noradrenergic neurons in depression, and its modulation by antidepressant drug action.

The streets of Chitungwiza high-density suburb are reported to be full of rubbish and flowing sewage as a week of strikes by municipal workers continues.
Eddington Shayanowako, coordinator at the Chitungwiza Community Development Network (CCDN), told SW Radio Africa that there has been no garbage collection all week, council run clinics, beer-halls and banks have also been closed and cemeteries are not allowing burials.
The strike, initiated by desperate workers after three months without salaries, is said to have paralysed the town while the council loses much needed revenue. The workers have vowed not to return to work, ignoring a call by the Labour Minister Paurina Mpariwa to end the strike.
Shayanowako said workers were seen hanging around the head office in Zengeza 2 with no idea what council is planning to do about the unpaid wages. No one has addressed them and the town clerk, who manages council affairs, was reportedly out of his office.
The Chamber Secretary reportedly held a meeting with several councillors on Wednesday, but the workers and residents have not been given any information.
Residents seeking medical treatment are reportedly walking to Chitungwiza Hospital because clinics are closed. Some even travelled as far as Harare for treatment.
Desperate families trying to bury their loved ones were reportedly stranded at Unit L Cemetery, which was closed due to the strike. Some families had to pay kickbacks to workers and find youths to dig the graves.
Shayanowako also said the tower lights used at night had been turned into telecommunications base stations and many areas were now dangerous in the dark.
"I don't think the residents even know who their councillors are and there is no communication between them at all," Shayanowako said.
Residents are concerned that the industrial action will worsen the already ailing service delivery situation.
Chitungwiza raises about $1.4 million in revenue per month, while paying out $1.7 million in wages. This means the Council is falling behind by $300,000 each month without any plan to eliminate this growing deficit.
Shayanowako said the Council is run by mostly MDC-T councillors, as well as several "special interest" councillors that were appointed by the Local government Minister, Ignatius Chombo. It has been alleged that these councillors were put there by Chombo to cause problems for the elected MDC-T.

The Gospel
Out of Formation
In Out of Formation, Dr. Gilley examines the "Spiritual Formation" movement and issues this direct challenge:
Do we, as believers in sola Scriptura, take our marching orders from the written Word, or do we look to the "white spaces" in Scripture to determine how we live? Do we actually believe that the Lord has given us in Scripture the teachings and practices He wants us to follow, or do we believe that we must supplement the authentic words of God with our imagination and traditions of men?
This vital book is one that all serious Christians need to read.

This Little Church Went to Market
Under pressure from secular philosophies and fads, many evangelical churches have subscribed to pragmatic rather than scriptural patterns for ministry. Marketing tactics, demographic analyses and entertainment-oriented worship have taken the new paradigm Church by storm. The result is a Christian community which is rapidly losing its focus and forfeiting its biblical mandate. This Little Church Went to Market is a call for the Church to return to its scriptural roots.

This book, which has already been mentioned in Time magazine, is a careful analysis and critical response to Bruce Wilkinson's best-selling book, The Prayer of Jabez.

File this one under man bites dog: Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, the scourge of liberals and plaintiff lawyers everywhere, delivered a heartfelt decision in favor of the class action in Shady Grove Orthopedic Associates, P.A. v. Allstate Insurance Wednesday.
It's a decision only a civil-procedure nut could love, but interesting for its political lineup and outcome. Allstate wanted to use a New York law to ban a class action by doctors who said they weren't getting interest on claims while Allstate was processing them. Small claims for each individual, but big dollars in the aggregate. Classic class-action material — and an example of the entrepreneurial lawyering many conservatives hate. Yet it was Justice Ginsburg, writing for the losing side, who criticized Scalia for allowing plaintiffs to turn "a $500 case into a $5 million award" despite a state law prohibiting it.
The New York law banned class actions seeking to recover a "penalty" such as state-mandated interest payments. The case involved parties in different states, so it was removed to federal court, which under the Constitution have jurisdiction over such cases. (Corporations also like federal courts for their reputedly less generous juries.)
Here's where we enter the Erie Zone — named after a 1938 Supreme Court case that allows federal judges to make procedural decisions in their courts but to apply state laws on so-called "substantive" issues. A federal court in New York threw out the case, saying the New York law prohibited the class action even though federal law seemed to allow it.
Enter Scalia, writing for a divided majority that included Justices Thomas, Sotomayor, Stevens and Roberts. With his typical respect for federalism and disdain for historical analysis, Scalia said it doesn't matter what the New York law says. Congress handed the federal courts rules on how to conduct business and Rule 23 says plaintiffs "may maintain" a class action in federal courts if it meets certain requirements. The party that does the maintaining, Scalia said, is the plaintiff, not the court. It also doesn't matter what New York was trying to accomplish with its law eliminating specific types of class actions, he said: If a different state had a similar law passed after different arguments were made in the legislature, would that be binding on the federal courts?
The end result is Allstate lost a valuable tactical tool to eliminate a pesky class action — by Scalia's hand. In a further weird twist, Justice Alito, considered to be one of the most conservative justices, joined Ginsburg in the dissent. They argued in favor of states' rights — often the stomping grounds of Scalia and Thomas. The dissent criticizes the "alchemy" that allowed plaintiff lawyers to transform a small matter into a lucrative class action. This misguided decision, Ginsburg writes, "gives no quarter to New York's limitation on statutory damages" and thwarts the regulatory policy to "prevent excessive damages."
Sounds like a victory for the lawyers, one way or another.

St. Petersburg, Florida (PRWEB) January 21, 2014
The international alliance of independent accounting firms, TIAG®, recently appointed two new Advisory Board members. Among those is Ronald Storch, Partner in Charge of Operations at Berdon LLP in New York with offices in NYC and Long Island. Berdon, a U.S. Top 30 accounting firm, joined the growing alliance last summer as part of TIAG's strategy to increase its North American presence. This strategy, a key initiative of TIAG's Advisory Board, has also resulted in the addition of GALLINA LLP, a U.S. Top 100 firm headquartered in Northern California, and MALLETTE, a Top 10 Canadian firm.
The charge of the Advisory Board includes assisting TIAG's management in reviewing prospective new members, offering feedback for the planning of international conferences and providing valuable guidance on future plans and initiatives. The Advisory Board holds board meetings at TIAG's semi-annual international conferences in addition to regular teleconferences.
"Joining TIAG has been a strategic move for our firm," said Ronald Storch.

What supplies are liable to VAT?
VAT is due on any supply of goods or services made in Finland, where it is a taxable supply made by a taxable person in the course or furtherance of a business carried on by said person. Supply includes all forms of supply.
Supply does not include anything done otherwise than for a consideration. However, certain actions carried out for no consideration are deemed to be supplies; for example the private use of business assets.
What is the standard rate of VAT?
The standard rate of VAT is 24 percent (since 1 January 2013).
Are there any reduced rates, zero rates, or exemptions?
There is a reduced rate of 14 percent (since 1 January 2013) for certain goods and services, including:
In addition there is a reduced rate of 10 percent (since 1 January 2013) for certain goods and services, including:
There is an extensive list of zero-rate supplies, including:
The list of exemptions includes:
Note: it is not possible to recover VAT incurred in making exempt supplies.
What are the other local indirect taxes beside VAT?
Who is required to register for Finnish VAT?
Finnish Entities
If a business makes taxable supplies in Finland over the VAT registration threshold (EUR 8,500) it will be required to register and account for Finnish VAT. If it trades below the registration threshold it can still choose to register for VAT as a Voluntary Trader.
Non-Finnish Entities
The registration rules that apply to Finnish entities also apply to non-Finnish entities that make taxable supplies in Finland. However, there is no minimum VAT registration threshold for businesses not established in Finland.
If a business is not registered for VAT in Finland but sells and delivers goods from another Member State to customers in Finland who are not VAT registered (distance sales), where the value of those sales exceeds a threshold of EUR 35,000, the business is required to register and account for VAT in Finland.
To register, a non Finnish entity must use the Y1 form the Finnish registration authority's web site (this form is to be used in most cases when a non-Finnish entity registers only for tax purposes in Finland).
Are there penalties for not registering or late registration?
Yes, provided that the business has made taxable supplies during that time. Although there is not a specific late registration penalty the amount of additional taxes and penalties due is based on the length of delay of the late/non-payment of VAT.
Is voluntary VAT registration possible for an overseas company?
Yes. The foreign company without fixed establishment (or if there is a fixed establishment it does not intervene in that supply) in Finland and carrying out taxable activity generally subject to reverse charge VAT may voluntarily register for VAT in Finland. The application cannot be, however, made with retroactive effect.
Voluntary VAT registration is possible on account of supply of certain construction services when a reverse mechanism must be applied, but its effect is limited to the right to recover input VAT on Finnish periodic tax returns.
The voluntary registration enables the foreign company to deduct the Finnish input VAT on a monthly basis. When the foreign company registers voluntarily for VAT in Finland, the foreign company can no longer take advantage of the Finnish reverse charge rules. Hence the Finnish VAT is to be accounted for by the voluntarily registered foreign supplier as output tax.
NB: voluntary VAT registration makes the supplier liable to pay VAT on all sales made in Finland, incl. sales by any part of the same legal entity (such as by other foreign branches of the same company, regardless of whether the branch intervenes in the making of the sales).
Are there any simplifications that could avoid the need for an overseas company to register for VAT?
It is possible to avoid registering and accounting for Finnish VAT when making certain supplies.
In the following examples the obligation to account for the VAT due can be shifted to the customer provided that the customer is registered for Finnish VAT.
If a business is an intermediate supplier to a Finnish buyer of goods which it purchases from a business in a European Union (EU) member state other than its own and are delivered from there to Finland, VAT due can be accounted for by the Finnish customer (see section Invoices).
Call-off Stock
Where a business stores stock at a customer's premises under its control the customer accounts for VAT on the supply as an acquisition provided that all the stock will be sold to the same customer.
Supply and Install
If a business supplies goods and installs or assembles them in Finland, the customer can account for any VAT due, in effect, as a reverse charge. There are, however, several exceptions where either reverse charge mechanism does not apply or it is not sensible to apply the reverse charge mechanism for example when it incurs significant amount of Finnish VAT.
Reverse Charge Services
These services are covered in more detail at (section International Supplies of Goods and Services).
Bear in mind that these provisions are subject to particular requirement.
Does an overseas company need to appoint a fiscal representative?
The Finnish VAT Act no longer requires EU businesses to appoint a VAT representative when voluntarily applying for VAT registration in Finland. The VAT Act was amended effective from 1 January 2007 in this regard. According to the Finnish VAT Act EU businesses or foreign businesses established in a country, with which a convention concerning mutual assistance has been concluded, would no longer be obliged to appoint a local VAT representative when registering for VAT purposes in Finland.
Other foreign businesses, which are not established or do not have a fixed establishment in another Member State or in a country with which a convention has been concluded, would still be required to appoint a local VAT representative when registering for VAT purposes in Finland.
KPMG in Finland can act as a fiscal representative when the foreign company is liable to appoint a VAT representative. KPMG in Finland provides VAT compliance services also for foreign companies that are obliged to register for VAT in Finland and thus are not liable to appoint a formal fiscal representative.
Please contact the Finnish knowledge manager for further details.
Is VAT grouping possible?
Yes, provided various criteria are met. The parent company that forms the VAT group with the other group companies must primarily perform VAT exempt financial or insurance services. The VAT group members must have close financial, economic, and organizational links with each other.
Can an overseas company be included in a VAT group?
Yes, provided the company has a fixed establishment in Finland. Generally, an establishment requires human and technical resources to be present.
How frequently are VAT returns submitted?
Registered businesses are required to report VAT on periodic tax returns on a monthly basis. However, there are two exceptions where VAT can be reported on Periodic Tax Returns can be submitted quarterly or annually.
Businesses with the annual turnover not more than EUR 25,000 or primary producers can report VAT on periodic tax returns annually.
Businesses with the annual turnover not more than EUR 50,000 can report VAT on periodic tax returns quarterly.
The periodic tax return also contains information regarding e.g. employer's payments. Failure to file the periodic tax returns on time results in a penalty.
Are there any other returns that need to be submitted?
European Sales List (ESL)
If your business supplies goods which are shipped from Finland to VAT registered businesses in other EU member states (see section International Supplies of Goods and Services), you are required to complete ESL's.Since 2010 supplies of services to VAT registered businesses in other EU member states must also be reported on the ESL's when the supplies give rise to a reverse charge VAT liability for the recipient of the services (article 192a of the EU VAT Directive 2006/112/EC).
ESL's are submitted monthly.
Failure to file ESL's accurately and on time results in a penalty.
Intrastat Supplementary Declarations
VAT registered businesses with a value of dispatches or arrivals to or from other EU member states, which exceed a certain threshold (EUR 275,000 per calendar year for arrivals effective from 1 January 2011 and EUR 500,000 per calendar year for dispatches effective from 1 January 2012) must complete supplementary declarations each month provided that the customs authorities have informed the company of this reporting liability.
Failure to file Intrastat declarations accurately and on time may result in a penalty.
If a business receives a purchase invoice in foreign currency, which exchange rate should be used for VAT reporting purposes? (e.g. central bank's exchange rate applicable on the date of the invoice)
Amounts in foreign currencies are converted into euro by applying the latest sales rate published by a commercial bank at the time when liability to pay VAT on sales arises. However, the date of the invoice or the date when the payment has accrued is the decisive date, if the VAT is assigned to the month of invoicing or to the month when the payment has accrued, within the same accounting year.
Can a business recover VAT if it is not registered?
Yes. If you are established in another EU member state, you should make a claim on the website maintained by your own country's tax authority (according to Directive 2008/9/EEC). If you are a non-EU business you should recover the VAT under the 13th Directive. Under both of these provisions there are strict time limits for making claims. The companies established in other EU member states must submit the claims by 30 September of the following year. The companies established in outside EU must submit the claims by 30 June of the following year.
Does your country apply reciprocity rules for reclaims submitted by non-established businesses?
Reciprocity is not required in Finland.
Are there any items that businesses cannot recover VAT on?
Yes. There are certain items that businesses cannot recover VAT on. For example:
How are exports of goods and services treated?
If a company sells goods to a customer that is registered for VAT in another EU member state and the sale involves the removal of those goods from Finland (either by the supplier or its customer) to that Member State, then it does not need to charge VAT and may zero rate the supply as an intra-Community supply. The supplier must obtain its customer's VAT number and quote it on its invoice. The supplier should also obtain evidence of the goods' removal from Finland.
If a company sells goods to a customer who is not registered for VAT in another EU member state, it will have to charge Finnish VAT. If its sales exceed a certain threshold for that Member State it may have to register in the Member State under what is known as the Distance Selling Scheme.
If a company exports goods to a customer (business or private) outside of the EU, then it does not need to charge VAT provided that the strict rules for zero rating export sales are met; but, as for intra-Community supplies, it should make sure that in all cases you keep proof of dispatch/delivery to support the zero rating.
If a business established in Finland and supply services to a foreign business customer (B2B), in general the supply of services is taxable in the country of the recipient under the reverse charge mechanism. If it, however, supplies services to a private consumer (B2C), they are in general taxable in the country of the supplier and therefore subject to Finnish VAT.
The following exceptions apply to the B2B and B2C main rules as described above:
The following exceptions apply to the B2C main rule:
The following services performed for non-taxable customers that are established or resident outside the EU are not taxable in Finland:
How are goods dealt with on importation?
When goods are imported into Finland from outside the EU, import VAT and customs duty may be due. This has to be paid or secured before the goods will be released from customs' control.
How are services which are brought in from abroad treated for VAT purposes?
If a company purchases certain services from outside Finland, it will be required to apply the reverse charge. This is intended to take away any VAT advantage (except reduced VAT cash flow costs) of buying those services from outside Finland.
Under the reverse charge the buyer is required to account for a notional amount of VAT as output tax on its periodic tax return and it recovers this VAT as input tax on the same return based on normal recovery rules. If the purchase subject to reverse charge was made for taxable business, the reverse charge has no cost effect and is a VAT compliance matter only. However, for companies not in full VAT recovery position there is likely to be a VAT cost depending on the level of recovery allowed.
The reverse charge mechanism applies on an obligatory basis to purchases of services that fall into the scope of general rule of article 44 of the EU VAT Directive. This article covers as a default rule all the services that are not otherwise expressly mentioned in the other special rules for the place of supply. The following services are not covered by the general rule:
It should be noted that Finland has introduced mandatory reverse charge on certain construction services when rendered between construction companies.
There are also a number of other services in addition to those mentioned above that are subject to reverse charge, if the purchaser of the services is registered for VAT purposes in Finland and the supplier of services is a non-Finnish entity neither having a fixed establishment in Finland nor having registered voluntarily for VAT purposes in Finland.
Further, the reporting (on the periodic tax return) of the services to which the reverse charge mechanism is applicable is different when the services are purchased from other EU Member States and in other situations.
Is a business required to issue tax invoices?
Issuing a tax invoice is mandatory when a taxable person supplies goods or services to another taxable person or to a non-taxable legal person and the supply is taxable according to the VAT legislation.
An invoice is also required for zero-rated sales, in other words such exempt supplies where the supplier has a right to recover VAT included in the price of his purchases.
A taxable person has to issue an invoice for distance sale of goods and supply of new means of transport for private persons in another Member State. An invoice is required on payments on account and on correction items.
Finland has exercised the option not to require an invoice for such exempt supplies where the supplier does not have a right to recover VAT included in the price of his purchases. In other words, invoices are required for zero-rated sales but not for exempt without credit for input VAT sales (such as medical care).
What do businesses have to show on a tax invoice?
A tax invoice should contain the following data:
Can businesses issue invoices electronically?
Yes. No specific rules for electronic invoicing apply; however, the supplier must have an agreement with the customer.
Is it possible to operate self-billing?
Yes. The indication of "self-billing" is required in an invoice.
Can a business issue VAT invoices denominated in a foreign currency?
Yes but the supplier must set out the amount of VAT payable on the invoice in the currency of the country of supply. This is to ensure that the amount of VAT paid is the same as the amount of VAT to be potentially deducted.
Is there a relief from VAT for the sale of a business as a going concern?
Yes. If a company sells its business or part of it as a going concern then VAT may not be due. There are certain conditions to satisfy, for example that the recipient should intend to use the assets for taxable business purposes and the recipient should be registered for VAT at the time of the transfer.
Are there any options to tax transactions?
There is an option to tax certain types of transactions in immovable property. In addition there are also provisions that allow an option to tax for small entrepreneurs and charitable organizations.
How are transactions between head office and branch treated?
If your head office makes a charge to its branch or vice versa, this is not treated as a supply for Finnish VAT purposes (with the exception of goods that are transferred between Finland and another EU Member State).
Am I able to claim relief for bad debts?
You are able to claim VAT back on the unpaid element through your periodic tax return. If you subsequently receive payment for the supply then you will have to pay back the VAT element to the tax authorities in the same way.
Is there a general anti-avoidance provision under VAT law?
Yes. Finnish VAT Act Article 181.
If a situation or a measure has been given a legal form that does not correspond to the true nature or purpose of the transaction, tax shall be levied as if the true form had been used.
If the consideration for sales of goods or services has been agreed or established at an amount lower than what may be considered reasonable, or if some other measure has been taken for the purpose of reducing the tax to be paid, the amount of tax that should be paid may be assessed.
What is the penalty and interest regime like?
Penalties are raised if a business has paid less tax than was due or has neglected its obligation to submit periodic tax returns. The amount of the penalty varies depending on how frequently the business failed to pay, the length of the delay of non-payment/under-payment of VAT or the delay in submitting the periodic tax returns.
Tax audits
How often do tax audits take place?
VAT expiration period is 3 years from the end of the financial year. That is why the aim of tax authority is carry out audit every 3-5 years.
Some business areas receive special attention because of major black economy. For example the construction and restaurant sectors get special attention from the tax auditors.
Are there audits done electronically in your country (e-audit)? If so, what system is in use?
Sometimes yes. The tax authorities has its own system (called Sesam) which process information from the company`s accounting system. Usually it is used as a part of tax audit of the big corporation.
Advance rulings and decisions from the tax authority
Is it possible to apply for formal or informal advance rulings from the (indirect) tax authority?
Yes. It is possible to have formal and also informal ruling and guidance from tax authority. Taxpayers can request advanced ruling (right of appeal) or literal guidance (no right of appeal). Tax authority can also give informal oral or written e-mail guidance.
Are rulings and decisions issued by the tax authorities publicly available in your country?
Not usually. Central Tax Board will publish a summary some of its decisions which have a new or otherwise larger magnitude. Those decisions are publicly available from Finnish tax authors web site. Rulings and decisions of local tax-offices are not publicly available.
In your country, are there unique specific indirect tax rules (regimes) that differ from standard indirect tax rules in other jurisdictions?
Yes. For example reverse charge mechanism in construction business sector. An entrepreneur who sells construction services other than an occasional have to pay VAT from construction services he/she has bought.
Are there indirect tax incentives available in your country (e.g. reduced rates, tax holidays)?
Yes, reduced rates are available as stated above.
A special VAT relief scheme for small businesses with sales not exceeding €22,500 is also in use.

Kurdish rebel leader declares cease-fire
But many Kurds believe Ocalan should be freed as part of the peace deal. "A democratic solution and freedom for Ocalan," read a poster. "As long as Ocalan is not free, peace would be a mistake," said another.
A key demand by the PKK is guarantees that its fighters would not be attacked during any retreat. Erdogan has said he is open to the creation of an independent committee that could oversee the withdrawal of an estimated 4,000 rebel fighters, initially to northern Iraq.
Turkish forces reportedly attacked PKK guerrillas as they retreated in 1999 while obeying orders from Ocalan who had appealed for peace soon after his capture that year, as well as during another unilateral decision to withdraw in 2004.
The spring festival, or Newroz - which means "new year" - is mainly marked by Kurds in Turkey. Kurdish demonstrators in the past have used the celebration to assert Kurdish demands and many events have resulted in violent clashes between participants and Turkish security forces.
In a gesture in support of the peace efforts meanwhile, the families of Turkish soldiers and Kurdish rebels killed in the conflict assembled around a "reconciliatory" dinner table in the southeastern province of Sanliurfa on Wednesday, news reports said.
Kurds make up an estimated 20 percent of Turkey's population of 75 million. The rebels took up arms in 1984 to fight for Kurdish independence but later revised that goal to autonomy in southeastern Turkey. The group frequently launches attacks on Turkey from bases in northern Iraq.
Fraser reported from Ankara, Turkey.

Hello Divas, Guys & Dolls,
Well, it's final.........I am going back to Michigan for 5 months and I just paid for my airfare....sighing, just thinking about the darn "cold", outside of that, I'm glad that I can be there for my family....
Now, let me really talk about what's on my mind............In a previous blog I told everyone I started a "fasting" regime to detox my body of some things I ate and drank over the holiday's......well, today is day 5 and I just want to share my progress........BTW, this pic depicts how overwhelmed I am feeling about leaving Florida and having to pack 2 suitcases and a carry-all for the next 5 months to be in cold a$$ Michigan.......what's a Diva to do!!!!!!!!!hahahahahaha
On Wednesday, the 16th I weighed myself and I was down from 267 lbs to 258 lbs on the nose.........I did this Wednesday, so I could track my weight loss from then until I complete this 14 day program, now the next 4 days will consist of my having 2 Almased Shakes and a 500 calorie lunch that will be of a medium salad w/a lime balsamic vinaigrette dressing, 4 ozs of broiled chicken or salmon (my choice), and 1/2 cup of brown rice seasoned w/assorted Ms. Dash seasonings and plenty of water.
Okay, so this is day 5 and I still feel great, and I probably could have gone 2 more days with the "liquid" only but I need to get more. I have enough to last me through Saturday and by Monday, I will have more.
I have found in these last 3 days, I like fasting, as longs as it doesn't make me hungry, and this synergy diet, really fills you up w/ or w/o water...........it's not the best tasting, but you can deal with it. I also find that it suppresses your appetite.......unlike some other fasting diets I have tried.
Anyhow, just keeping you updated, you probably won't hear from me again, until I am settle in Michigan.

I swear, you gotta be my sistah from another mothah because you are rocking you, Miss Thang! It was wonderful to meet you on my blog today, so many it's good that I got reject blood and have to wait another week to try again.
You, my dear, are the DIVA! I love the pics of getting your sexy back. Another 40 pounds and I will update mine with me in all leathers - head to toe baby!!! I miss getting into those tight leather pants and just laying against the bar while men tremble at my feet! (Told you that we are related!)
What part of Florida are you in now? And I am happy that you can help out your family, but so sorry that they are in Michigan! Phew! I am not sure I could take it up there right now, but I think I had better get on the cold bus because the man I really care about is living in Alaska because that is where his children are... BRRRRR!!!!
So happy travels and many hugs to you. Can't wait to learn more about you and definitely see we are kindred spirits!
Peace and Love,

After six years as the Executive Director of the Ohio River Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross, Mary Arnzen has announced her resignation from the position Friday afternoon, effective August 23.
Upon leaving her employment with the Red Cross, Arnzen will become Southern Ohio Medical Center's Lead Donor Relations Coordinator.
"During her six-year tenure, Mary has transformed our local chapter of the Red Cross and dramatically improved our financial stability," said Marty Redden, current board chair of the local Red Cross in a released statement. "She has overseen services to 1,872 disaster clients, trained 7,204 individuals in lifesaving skills, provided $328,235 in disaster assistance, collected 20,340 units of blood and provided 419 emergency messages to local service members in combat. And although she is now moving on to SOMC, she will remain close to our organization and our mission."
Arnzen has indicated she will remain active with the local Red Cross as a volunteer.
"I've been with the Red Cross for six years and I'm very happy with the progress we've made over that period," Arnzen said in a released statement. "I felt like this was the perfect opportunity to advance my career in development, which was my favorite part of my position at the Red Cross."
Arnzen said her work with the SOMC Development Foundation will be similar to her work with the local Red Cross.
"Our local Red Cross is made up of an amazing group of volunteers, donors, staff members, board members and community partners," Arnzen said in a released statement. "I'm really thankful for all of the support they showed me in the last six years, and I wish them nothing but success going forward."
Recently the Ohio River Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross, expanded their coverage area to now include Jackson County.
Arnzen said the addition of Jackson County became official on July 1. With the addition the Ohio River Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross now services Scioto, Pike and Jackson counties.
The Ohio River Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross is set to host its 15th annual Hero's Dinner at 6 p.m. on Aug. 15, at the Southern Ohio Medical Center Friends Center.
According to Arnzen, this year's Hero's Dinner will honor heroes in eight categories.
Tickets for the event are $10 and are available at the Red Cross office located at 1802 Robinson Ave. in Portsmouth and will not be sold at the door. Tickets must be purchased before Aug. 8.
Arnzen said the board of directors for the Ohio River Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross is looking to fill be position of Executive Director as soon as possible.
Interest applicants should send a resume to the Ohio River Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross at 1801 Robinson Avenue, Portsmouth OH 45662, or email email@example.com or call 740-354-3293 for more information.

Nobel laureate and Green Belt Movement founder Wangari Maathai dead at 71mongabay.com
September 26, 2011
Kenyan environmentalist and Nobel laureate Wangari Maathai died Sunday after a battle with ovarian cancer. She was 71.

For her efforts, in 2004 Maathai became the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The award further boosted her status as one of the most prominent voices in the increasingly global movement to involve local communities in the management and conservation of forests.
Rising from humble roots, Maathai was a hero to many.
"She was a true African heroine," said Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who called her a "leading voice on the continent."
"She understood and acted on the inextricable links between poverty, rights and environmental sustainability One can but marvel at her foresight and the scope of her success."
Tanzania's President Jakaya Kikwete praised Maathai via a post on Twitter.
"Rest in peace Dr Wangari Maathai," he wrote. "A great woman, an inspiration for many women across Africa, a magnificent visionary and embodiment of courage."
Maathai's Green Belt Movement said that while it deeply mourns her death, the world is a better place for her efforts.

Maathai leaves behind three children—Waweru, Wanjira, and Muta—and a granddaughter, Ruth Wangari.

Forgotten species: discovering the shimmer of Maathai's Longleg
(January 13, 2010) Few species receive less respect and less conservation attention than insects. This despite the fact that they are some of the most diverse species on the planet and they provide a number of essential services to humankind, including pollination, pest control, production (for example honey and silk), waster recycling, and indications of habitat health. Scientists are not only unsure just how many species of insects are threatened in world; they are equally uncertain how many insects exist. Currently there are nearly a million insect species described by science, but millions more likely exist. It's probable that innumerable insect species have vanished before even being catalogued by entomologists. Fortunately, the beautiful emerald dragonfly Maathai's Longleg Notogomphus maathaiae avoided this fate. Discovered only in 2000 in the forested mountains of Kenya, the dragonfly is named after Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai.

Don't let Mondays get you down. There's much to do at the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art (a Knights art grantee). It is open on Mondays when some of Charlotte's other visual art institutions are not.
You only have one more week to experience an exhibit quite unique to Charlotte, "Remembering Cascade: Tinguely's Last Sculpture." "Cascade," a 40-foot motorized mobile suspended over a fountain, is installed in the Carillon office tower four blocks north of the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art.
Between 1989 and 1991, Andreas Bechtler, patron of the Bechtler collection, witnessed the genesis and construction of Jean Tinguely's last sculpture, "Cascade." It was actually the Bechtler family who commissioned the sculpture from their longtime friend and fellow Swiss native, Tinguely, for the lobby of the Carillon, a building developed by the Bechtler's company, Hesta AG.
To mark the 20th anniversary of "Cascade's" debut, the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art put together "Remembering Cascade: Tinguely's Last Sculpture." This exhibition only runs through Jan. 16, 2012 and provides a unusual private look at some of the letters, drawings, prints and found objects related to "Cascade" that Tinguely gave to the Bechtler family after the completion of the sculpture.
The exhibition serves as a unique focus on a single work by one of the 20th century's most important kinetic artists. A complementary short film, featuring Bechtler's memories of "Cascade's" creation runs simultaneously in the museum's video gallery. Throughout the history of time, artists have had patrons, supporters, friends and family that were integral to their lives as artists. Rarely, is the public privy to this type of exchange.
Particularly interesting in the exhibition are the industrial fragments that Tinguely had considered for use in "Cascade" but, in the end, rejected. Those items offer a window on the artist's idiosyncratic process where every object, even those that did not end up in the final piece, played a role in the larger work's creation.
The kinetic artist Tinguely might be best known for his mechanical sculptures, but he was also a prolific painter who would represent the movement of his sculptures in two dimensions. Tinguely — the painter — is the focus of the "Modern Mondays" workshop Jan. 9.
Unfortunately, this workshop is sold out. But, if you are visiting the Bechtler the evening of Jan. 9, you'll find folks getting their creative juices stimulated with an informal, interactive opportunity led by Bechtler teaching artist Ginny Boyd. She'll be demonstrating Tinguely's sculptural painting style and his use of color, symbols, found objects and text.
Modern Mondays programs are free with museum admission. Of course, if you sign up for its e-mail list, you'll be sure to have plenty of time to register for your favorite events.
Bechtler Museum of Modern Art (located at the Levine Center for the Arts), 420 S. Tryon St., Charlotte.
The Carillon office tower is located at 227 W. Trade St., four blocks north of the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art. (It's always free to enjoy the art — Tinguely's and the other work — in the building lobby and lawn.)

Let's petition Garmin to bring back the 276/376 series

Glad you like your Montana, but seriously it's just an upgraded hiking and exploring GPS with Google sat imagery. It's lacking the screen size and push button controlling (too many issues with touch screen at high speed). We're not trying to say that the Montana is a bad GPS,, what we're saying is take the best of the 276/376/478 series, which were very high performance, and still are and make them better. Maybe utilize some of the Montana farkles into it as well. A true racer/rallier/dirtbike GPS, must have a large screen, be push button or handlebar remote controlled to be truly effective at high speed in rough terrain. The Montana doesn't cut it for that.
I think that no matter what any sized petition says the Montana is the new 478, like it or not.
I'm not here to tell everyone to buy a Montana, I have what works very well for me and my thing. I'm just posting to give another more positive review based on my experience. Remember, most people post up in the Montana thread when they are having problems, so it's not necessarily a balanced discussion on their reliability.
For me, track management without limits is most important as I need to have lots of tracks for my rides, sometimes thousands of miles of them. Coming from a 478 it takes a little while to get used to the touch screen, but like anything in time you'll be flying around it just the same. Just as configurable with everything like the 478, unlike the Zumo's.
For navigating unlimited tracks, finding gas/food, working with waypoints or just wandering with a general direction using the GPS to find the route, the Montana is prefect for me and proven to be trustworthy.
I understand your needs for pretty specific things, I didn't need to touch the GPS wile navigating the Baja 1000 route while at high speeds (for me), I just followed the tracks glancing down now and then, having hard buttons to zoom in and out would be useful, I just slowed down enough to do it on the touchscreen
I think you might actually get somewhere with a petition if you go a different route though, as the Montana is here to stay and is a good platform.
You know how bike makers like BMW, and HD have their own rebranded GPS units that are nothing more than a Garmin with an extra cradle that has buttons on it?.... Maybe you could get Garmin to make one for the Montana, even a wired remote with zoom and pan buttons that just plugs into the usb port on back.
Or develop one yourself,
comes to mind.
That's the thing with the Montana, it's just software that can be changed to make it work for what you want out of a GPS, it's proven that Garmin can make add-on button thingies for GPS's and they have been very receptive to adding things software wise for ADV riders...
Now if you are successful and the Montana becomes the defacto racer GPS used worldwide in all the big races with the extra button module and you become millionaire, I get one for free at least.
