ROBERT S. KERR WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND Robert S. Kerr: What Goes Around Comes Around Written by: Joshua D. Mosshart, Certified Estate Advisor Oil man and politician Robert S. Kerr was born in a log cabin on September 11, 1896 in what is now Ada, Oklahoma. He first held elective office when he became Oklahoma's governor in 1942. During World War II, he presided over a vigorous economic expansion and directed a remarkably efficient state administration. One year after leaving the governor's office, in 1948, Kerr was successful in his first attempt at the U.S. Senate. He was reelected to two more terms. Often considered one of the finest orators that Oklahoma ever produced or that the Senate ever heard, Kerr gave the keynote address at the 1944 Democratic National Convention that nearly won him the second slot on President Roosevelt's ticket. Kerr thereafter devoted his energies to building his Senate career. He served on several key committees, most notably the Finance and Public Works committees. A partner in Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas Corp, Kerr increasingly became known as a key champion of southwestern oil and gas interests. Of course, he did not hesitate to use his influence for Oklahoma's behalf. Millions of dollars were diverted to military and civilian projects in the state. But most importantly, he supported tax legislation that empowered Congress to confiscate up to 55% of a person's assets in

estate taxes.

In 1978, Senator Kerr died unexpectedly. At the time, his estate was worth approximately $20 million. Unfortunately, Kerr passed away without the most basic estate-planning tool--a living trust. As a result, his heirs had to deal with many difficult problems as well as make a number of difficult decisions. But nothing as monstrous as the federal estate-tax bill he helped create in a number of ways. The IRS wanted $9 million, and they wanted it in cash--in nine months! I guess you could say that what goes around comes around and that the Senator got his just due, considering he helped formulate the federal estate-tax rules. Kerr's heirs faced a problem common to many inheritors: how to find the necessary cash to pay the IRS in such a short time frame. Luckily, they were able to raise $3 million in cash without much difficulty. The problem was that the rest of Kerr's estate was tied up in real estate, which was not liquid. Since the family would be forced to liquidate the properties, they faced the high probability that they would have to sell at highly sacrificial prices. After much debating the family decided to take out a $6 million loan. This only served as a temporary Band-Aid, since not only did the loan have to be repaid with after-tax dollars, but the family also had to pay a substantial amount of interest. What could have been

done differently?

If Sen. Kerr were alive today he could have taken advantage of several estate planning techniques that would have saved his heirs from having to mortgage the estate. As an example, he could have set up a Family Limited Partnership or FLP to hold the real estate. That could have created a discount on the value of the real estate at his death. But, more importantly, he could have gifted or sold shares of the FLP to his heirs at a relatively deep discount from fair market value, moving the assets out of his estate prior to his death and freezing the growth of his estate by moving some of the appreciating assets into the estates of his heirs. This is an important tool in modern estate planning when family businesses or commercial real estate is involved. Furthermore, Kerr could have taken advantage of the tax laws to make annual cash gifts to his heirs. Currently, that amount is $12,000 per person. Supposing the senator had four children; he could have gifted $48,000 per year into a trust for the benefit of his children. Over the course of 10 years, he would have transferred $480,000 to his heirs out of his taxable estate, reducing his estate tax. In addition, if the $48,000 per year had been properly invested, it could have created enough wealth to cover all the estate-tax liability. Joshua D.

SERVICE TAX ON OCEAN FREIGHT- LAW AND IMPACT

Introduction

Deletions from Section 66D ("Negative list") has become an annual exercise as part of the Finance Bill. This year, three services were removed from the Negative list. Amongst such deletions is the service of transportation of goods from outside India to first customs station in India. The article discusses the law relating to levy of Service Tax on such services post 1.6.2016 and implications thereof on various

transactions.

Levy of Service Tax on transportation of goods prior to 01.6.2016 Service of transportation of goods from India to outside India and vice versa was nontaxable prior to 01.06.2016. The non-levy was because of Rule 10 of Place of Provision of Services Rules, 2012 read with Clause (p)(ii) of Negative list. In brief Rule 10 of Place of Provision of Services Rules, 2012 provides that place of provision of a service of transportation of goods is the place of destination of goods, except in the case of services provided by a Goods Transportation Agency in respect of transportation of goods by road, in which case the place of provision is the location of the person liable to pay tax (as determined in terms of rule 2(1)(d) of Service Tax Rules, 1994 (since amended). For eg. A consignment of computers is consigned from Mumbai to Shanghai. The place of provision of goods transportation service will be the destination of goods viz., Shanghai. Since the destination is outside taxable territory, such services of transportation is not liable to service tax. Conversely, if a consignment of machines is consigned from Berlin to New Delhi, the place of provision of such service will be New Delhi. Thus, service of transportation to destination outside taxable territory is a non taxable service and conversely, service of transportation to destination in taxable territory is taxable and Service Tax shall be levied accordingly. However, while as per Place of Provision of Services Rules, 2012, such service of transportation of imports into taxable territory was taxable, such services were listed in negative list. Accordingly, even transportation of goods in case of imports also good out of the purview of Service Tax. Accordingly, no Service Tax could be levied on Ocean freight and air freight paid for import of goods prior to 01.6.2016. Levy of Customs Duty on services of transportation in case of imports Primary reason of inclusion of such transportation in negative list was that since such value of ocean freight is already included in the value for the purpose of levy of Customs Duty thus, levying Service Tax would be levy of two taxes on same value. Section 14of Customs Duty Act, provides that for the purposes of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 (51 of 1975), the value of the imported goods and export goods shall be the transaction value of such goods, that is to say, the price actually paid or payable for the goods when sold for export to India for delivery at the time and place of importation, where the buyer and seller of the goods are not related and price is the sole consideration for the sale. The Section further provides that such transaction value in the case of imported goods shall include, in addition to the price as aforesaid, any amount paid or payable for costs and services, including commissions and brokerage, engineering, design work, royalties and licence fees, costs of transportation to the place of importation, insurance, loading, unloading and handling charges to the extent and in the manner specified in the rules made in this behalf. Accordingly, Rule 10 of Customs Valuation (Determination of Value of Imported Goods) Rules, 2007 provides that in determining the transaction value, there shall be added to the price actually paid or payable for the imported goods Service Tax on Ocean Freight - Law and impact is written by CA Gaurav Gupta.Though the levy has lead to a situation of double taxation, still, compliance under Service Tax is required and should not be left under the belief that Customs duty is levied on such value.

TAX EXTENSIONS HOW TO APPLY If you are not ready with your tax returns yet and the dreadful tax day aka April 15 is nearing, what you mostly need is a tax extension. No matter what might be the reason for not filing, IRS allows for an extension of 6 months on filing tax returns and this provision is known as tax extension. The deadline is postponed to October 15 and this way you will have more time to make up for the mistakes such as having inadequate documents or lack of preparation. Not filing tax returns and failing to file an extension too can lead to hefty penalties, starting from 5% of the unpaid taxes to a maximum of 25%. Apart from failure-to-pay penalty, if adequate finances are a major problem in your case and provided you fail to pay off the dues within April 15, an additional failure-to-pay penalty is added to the latter. Filing for a tax extension not only provides you with extra time but also helps to avoid penalties. The procedure to apply for an extension is pretty simple, yet it provides you with an opportunity to file a good tax return and have a good tax history. Here’s more on how to apply for a tax extension. - The last date to apply for a tax extension is April 15 and for an easy and quick filing, people prefer e-filing over the traditional ways of doing it on paper forms. - You can either request the extension forms from IRS by mail or download for free on its website, the second option being more practical and feasible. You would need form 4868 for individual purposes and form 7004 for business purposes. - Once you have the access to the form, all you would need to apply for a tax extension is your name, contact details and your social security number. Make sure to make no entry errors or provide any false information and you can be rest assured that your application

USE A TAX ORGANIZER TO ESTIMATE QUARTERLY TAXES (1) For many taxpayers, a tax organizer is a critical component of keeping Uncle Sam happy. A reputable tax service provider works with you to customize an organizer to perfectly suit your needs and goals. Estimated taxes — also known as quarterly taxes — are a good idea for many and a requirement for some. If you do not have enough taxable income withheld throughout the year from an employer, you may need to send quarterly payments to the IRS. If you do not have enough withheld (or any at all) and you do not pay enough estimated/quarterly taxes throughout 2016, the IRS may penalize you next April. How can you figure out if you are withholding enough? Your CPA can tell you. It depends on many factors, including your tax bracket. You may also need to pay an additional amount for state taxes (rates vary by state, with some boasting zero income tax) and/or county taxes. No Such Thing as a Free �Ц While income is generally thought of as revenue from working, owning your own business, etc., taxes must also be paid on interest, rent, prizes, dividends, alimony and more. For business owners, your estimated tax payment can cover both income and self-employment taxes. Different taxpayers have to use different forms to file their estimated taxes, which are due in April, June, September and January. Sole proprietors, self-employed people and S corporation shareholders must use Form 1040-ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals. Corporations must use Form 1120-W, Estimated Tax for Corporations. It can be hard to tell whether you will get dinged with an IRS penalty for not paying estimated taxes (or enough in estimated taxes), but a tax professional can tell you that if you anticipate owing more than $1,000 in taxes each year, it is best to pay estimated taxes. For corporations, that figure drops down to $500. Farmers and fishermen fall under a different category, which is outlined in IRS Publication 505.

Paying it Forward

You can best estimate how much you should pay in quarterly taxes in two ways: Ask your CPA, or use the Form 1040-ES worksheet. A lot of guessing is involved, but you can use last year’s income information as a foundation (if you have similar income year after year). However, if you’re off, do not worry. If you pay too much, you will get a refund, and if you do not pay quite enough, you can pay the remaining balance in April. Bear in mind that it is important to post your estimated payments on time. The easiest solution is using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System, or mail in your payment via snail mail. Via the online system, you can make payments as often as you wish — daily, weekly, monthly, etc. All that matters is that by the time your quarterly payment is due, the full amount has been sent. Alternatively, you can also pay via electronic check over the phone. Some taxpayers have been assessed a penalty for failing to make payments on time, even if they ultimately paid appropriate quarterly taxes, so keep an eye on the calendar. Your strongest secret weapon is your CPA. With tax laws, benefits and credits constantly changing, you deserve an expert in your corner. Using a tax organizer is the best way to keep track of your income and expenses and will make your CPA’s job easier, so you won’t have any surprises when tax day rolls around next year.
