CCH IFRS Webinar Series 2008 - Seminar 5

Significant differences can be expected in general financial statement presentation, as a result of the adoption of IFRS into Canadian GAAP. Such differences will include changes in both the presentation of a company’s balance sheet and income statement, such as differences in the nature of components presented, current and non-current classifications, presentation of line items, and required disclosures. Such changes will impact a company’s traditional key performance measures and ratios, and provide investors with new types of information. Typically, annual financial statements prepared under IFRS will be considerably longer than those prepared under previous rules, entailing considerably more disclosures. A thorough and early understanding of the impacts adoption of IFRS will have on financial statement presentation will be essential for managing stakeholder relations during and after the transition to IFRS. 

State Tax Guidebook Library Plan provides you with all 20 industry-leading State Tax Guidebooks, shipped immediately upon publication, all for one attractive annual subscription price nearly 50% off the regular list price. You'll receive all State Tax Guidebooks currently available and all new editions published within your subscription period and any new editions developed and published throughout the year during your subscription period.

A multistate guide that covers how to set up and administer trusts in all fifty states. It enables the practitioner to keep abreast of the increasingly complex state rules that govern the establishment, maintenance and taxation of trusts and is of interest to the accountant and financial planner who makes provisions for his client's wealth management.

The book deals with the individual state rules for the creation of a trust, for appointing a trustee (including the qualifications that the trustee must have and the fiduciary duties that the trustee will owe to the grantor and the beneficiaries). The book discusses state requirements for modifying or revoking the trust. It covers the issues that arise if the grantor wishes to move the situs of the trust from one state to another. The permissible duration of a trust is also considered as is the Rule Against Perpetuities in states where this is still an issue.

This publication also discusses the accounting aspects of maintaining a trust from the state point of view, including creditor's rights in a trust, the different distribution standards in trust agreements, the effect of the Uniform Principal and Income Act (as adopted by each individual state), investment standards and total return trusts.

Also included is a discussion of the different state income tax rules, including forms and instructions for each state.

Provides state-specific material for preparing for and handling an audit in all states that impose sales and use taxes. Readers will gain an increased understanding of why their businesses or clients were selected for audit, how their audits will proceed, what the audit staff will be looking for, and how assessments are developed.

Instead of enacting tax increases, taxing agencies are quietly encouraged to mine every possible dollar from the existing tax structures. As a result, a sales and use tax audit notice generally may be regarded as the first step in a state civil action intended to extract additional funds from a specific taxpayer. Since this may often result in unfavorable consequences for the taxpayer, this book is intended to improve the taxpayer's chances of prevailing in what is often a losing battle. It aims to assist taxpayers in proactively avoiding paying more than their legal share of taxes.

This guide comes with a CD-ROM, containing approximately 200 state and local exemption certificates.

CCH's State Tax Handbook is the perfect quick-answer tool for tax practitioners and business professionals who work with multiple state tax jurisdictions. This reference provides readers with an overview of the taxation scheme of each state and the District of Columbia, as well as multistate charts on income taxes (personal and corporate), sales and use taxes and tax administration. It saves lots of time for busy practitioners, serving as a convenient single source of key state tax information for professionals instead of them having to wade through multiple sources to find this information.

The book is set out in four parts, which together paint an overall picture of the states' levies, bases and rates of each tax, principal payment and return dates, and other important information on major state taxes.

The State Tax Handbook provides a comprehensive "Taxes by State" section, which helpfully summarizes in one place the tax rules for each state, including key information such as tax rates and filing/payment dates. It details the taxing authorities for each jurisdiction, including addresses, phone numbers, websites and taxes governed by each office. This helpful section also includes a discussion on collection of out-of-state taxes. The major features of each state's revenue system are outlined in uniform arrangement which makes reference from state to state easy.   

At-a-glance multistate charts detail important issues to assist state tax compliance and planning. More than 120 charts are provided, covering discrete topics such as income tax rates, state corporate and personal income tax reporting requirements, filing extensions, state taxation of passthrough entities; allocation and apportionment, AMT on preference items, manufacturing exemptions, sales for resale, consolidated returns, and estimated tax requirements.
