The main USP of the Volkswagen Ameo lies under the hood and that's the 1.5-litre diesel engine, which comes with a 7-speed DSG.The Volkswagen Ameo, however, is likely to be discontinued soon because it won't be upgraded to meet the new BS6 norms and the sales volumes also don't justify keeping the car on the assembly line, which is why Volkswagen updated the Polo and Vento recently but gave the Ameo a miss.

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.
