Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Roaring Twenties, jazz music, Hollywood glamour: the end of the First World War ushered in a golden age for America, with a booming stock market and rampant property speculation. It seemed as if the good times with Presidents Harding and then Coolidge in charge would never end. In marked contrast were the fortunes of many European countries, struggling to repay war debts and with the terms of the Treaty of Versailles plunging Germany into economic catastrophe. With Herbert Hoover now President, the US markets continued to climb and some investors sold out, sensing trouble ahead. The Crash came in October 1929, and America slid into deep depression. Against a background of bank failures, industrial decline, rural poverty and unemployment, protests, strikes and riots broke out. Hoover was swept from power in 1932 and it fell to the new President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, to revive America's fortunes with a number of ground-breaking new programmes which made up the New Deal. This book covers this turbulent period in America's history, introducing us to the key figures and revealing the impact which the Great Depression had on the American people.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The author tells the history of the Freedman's Savings Bank, how it grew much too quickly, why it failed and the impact on Black America. The end of slavery in the United States left thousands of enslaved people with the need to survive the transition to freedom, including food, clothing, shelter, and medical care. They would also need education, money and financial services. In 1865 Congress passed legislation to create the Freedman's Bureau to provide those services. It also created the Freedman's Savings Bank. Large numbers of the formerly enslaved people had been paid for service in the Union Army the first time many had cash. And they had no safe depository. The Freedman's Bank offered that, expanding quickly and gained millions in deposits mostly ranging from $5 to $50. But inexperience and corruption doomed it to failure, costing may of the small depositors their savings. Some of the biggest issues facing Black consumers today may be able to trace their roots back to this debacle, from the historical distrust in banks to the racial wealth gap.Why publish now?On the heels of the social justice protests 0f 2020 and the Covid pandemic, some of the persistent and long-lasing problems facing Black Americans bubbled to the top. Black Americans suffered more than White Americans they got sicker and died more frequently. In addition, they bore the brunt of the job losses economically and business failures.White Americans (and many Black Americans) learned about how vibrant Black communities like Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma, were burned to the ground by angry White mobs, destroying generational Black wealth. The racial wealth gap was pushed to the forefront of the debates.Many of those issues in the wealth gap including the distrust of Banks and the lack of generational wealth in the Black community can be traced back to the collapse Freedman's Savings Bank and the resulting loss of wealth and generational wealth in Black America.This book will put the Freedman's Savings Bank in the conversation with reparations, Baby Bonds and financial literacy. Tells the history of the Freedmans Savings Bank, how it grew much too quickly, why it failed and the impact on Black America.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Bess of Hardwick was one of the most remarkable people who lived in England in the late Tudor period. Born a daughter of a relatively humble Midlands family, she was married and widowed four times, on each occasion raising her social status until she ultimately became the Countess of Shrewsbury.An enthusiast of fine buildings, she left behind Hardwick Hall and Chatsworth House as prime examples of Elizabethan prodigy houses. She also left important genetic legacies in the form of her descendants, and is an ancestress of much of the British aristocracy for the last few hundred years.Whilst she lived at a time when the laws and customs of the land made it difficult for women to exercise any real form of economic or social independence, Bess succeeded in acquiring a personal fortune which not only made her the second wealthiest woman in the kingdom after Queen Elizabeth herself, but for generations after her served as the financial bedrock upon which her descendants would continue to build, in some cases right up to the present day.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Implied Trusts and Beneficial Ownership in Modern UK Tax Law takes a look at that gap which lies between books on tax and those on trust law, and tries to bridge the two. How and why is beneficial ownership important in UK tax? How does HM Revenue & Customs and the law recognise the imposition of beneficial ownership for tax purposes via an implied trust? and when will UK tax law impose beneficial ownership on a different taxpayer from the legal owner of an asset or income source? As well as tracing the story behind Britain's ancient tax laws and courts, relevant legislation, cases and HM Revenue & Customs' guidance are all reviewed to paint a picture of how equity and implied trusts fit within today's tax laws. With the introduction of the 4th and 5th Anti-Money Laundering Directives, it is more important than ever to identify where beneficial ownership lies. This book is ideal for academics and practitioners alike, looking at the history of equity law and the chancery court through a prism of taxation; as well as the practical application of beneficial ownership when considering a client's tax position. Those practitioners specialising in trusts should find this book an interesting and useful aid to supplement their knowledge of implied trusts and the relationship between the more-usual express trusts. Whether you are new to the tax profession, or a seasoned professional, there will be something here for everyone.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. VAT and Financial Services takes the reader through the relevant legislation and case law, the legal concepts such as time and place of supply, the distinction between goods and services, what is taxable, and the interaction of these elements; examines the consequences of outsourcing (through a detailed study of 10 significant cases); looks at the key issues facing financial services and insurance; and then discusses the VAT cost sharing exemption.Since the third edition, there have been significant developments, including (most obviously) Brexit. The key VAT change is that EU legislation is no longer primary legislation (although many EU VAT principles, obligations and rights have been 'retained') and ECJ court decisions are, in general, no longer binding although 'a court or tribunal may have regard to anything done on or after exit day by the European Court, another EU entity or the EU so far as it is relevant to any matter before the court or tribunal' (European Union (Withdrawal) Act, 2018 s6(2)). Also, the Court of Appeal decision in HMRC v Perfect [2022] EWCA Civ 330, which is an excise duty case but more widely applicable, confirmed that decisions from any referrals to the ECJ made before 31 December 2020 remain binding on the UK even if the decision is issued after that date.In addition to this general change, there have been some more specific changes, for example the changes to the VAT (Specified Supplies) Order 1999, which now treats supplies to persons in the EU in the same way as supplies to persons outside the EU and some changes to the status of EU pension funds.A further change has been to the status of Cost Sharing Groups, an arrangement that allows persons who carry on certain activities to form a group to share costs without creating sticking VAT. As Cost Sharing groups are no longer available to the financial services and insurance sectors, the chapter and appendix covering these have been removed from this edition. Appendices include: contracts of insurance; Lloyd's VAT arrangements; HMRC ABI partial exemption guidance for the insurance sector; TOGC legal extracts; and the VAT territory of the EU.Finance directors and finance controllers in the financial services and insurance sectors and at those who advise these sectors should all find the book helpful. Takes the reader through relevant legislation and case law, legal concepts such as time and place of supply, the distinction between goods and services, what is taxable, and the interaction of these elements; examines the consequences of outsourcing; looks at the key issues facing financial services; and discusses the VAT cost sharing exemption.

It summarises how the IPT is applied in practice, the definition of an insurance contract, looks at exemptions from the tax, the application of the higher rate and issues affecting non UK risks and global policies. It also explores compliance issues such as IPT registration, the submission of returns and payment of the tax, changes in rates and the penalty regime. The major change that has taken place since the first edition has been the UK leaving the European Union. The author explains why this does not impact greatly on IPT, though it makes the discussion on the legality of the tax otiose. In November 2020, HMRC announced a consultation on IPT. This looked at three main areas: unregistered insurers, some 'avoidance' structures involving administration fees and the administration of the tax. The author reports on the consultation and HMRC reaction to industry responses. A guide for practitioners and those involved in the insurance industry.
