yes they are.  all options are treated the same unless you hold what is known as LEAPs which are at least 1 year before expiration/execution.\n\nAleks

On April 25, 1991, the IRS issued deferred exchange regulation-Reg 1.1031(k)-1. \n\n"No gain or loss shall be recognized on the exchange of property held for productive use in a trade or business, or for investment if such property is exchanged solely for property of like-kind, which is to be held either for productive use in a trade or business or for investment" (1991 excerpt from the above reference IRC Section Reg 1.1031(k)-1.) \n\nThis tax code allows taxpayers to defer ALL of the capital gains taxes resulting from their sale of investment property, when they will, use a Qualified Intermediary & following the I.R.S. guidelines, use the money to buy more suitable investment property within 180 days of the close of their sale. \n\nThis means that you can reinvest the money you would otherwise have lost to capital gains tax if you will use the extra money to buy more investment property for the purpose of making more money. This can be done within and between all classes of real property anywhere in the USA. \n\nHere is a simplified example of the difference:\n   \nSelling Property Without Benefit of 1031:\n \nIf your Sale Price is:      $750,000\ness your Mortgage:          $450,000\nThis Leaves Equity of:      $300,000\n\nWith your Sales Price at:   $750,000\nand a Cost Basis of:        $250,000\nYou have a Taxable Gain of: $500,000\n\nAt the base Federal Capital Gain Tax rate of: 15%\n\nTaxes due:                  $ 75,000\nLeft for investment:        $225,000\n\nBut if you structure the deal as a 1031 Exchange:\n \nIf your Sale Price is:     $750,000\nLess your Mortgage:      - $450,000\nThis Leaves Equity of:     $300,000\n\nWith your Sales Price at:          $750,000\nand a Cost Basis of:               $250,000\nYou would have a taxable gain of:  $500,000\n\nHowever, since you will use all funds to purchase more suitable investment property, your taxable gain is: $0.00\n\nTaxes due:             $0.00\nLeft for investment: $300,000\nTax Savings:         $ 75,000\n \n(State taxes not included in the above)\n  \nThis is why 1031 Tax-Deferred Exchange is often cited as “The Best Tax Loophole Left.”

I am not aware of a threshold. If you make a $1 in profit on a capital sale it it taxable.

If it is a equity linked fund (i.e more then 60% in equity ) the long term tax (>1 year) is 0% currently but if is a debt fund you will have to pay long term tax. stt does not apply for MF as i know only for equity trading.

While there are several type of stock options generally the amount of money that the company is putting up for the stock is taxable in the state in which the company is located.  Therefore it is very likely that what they have told you is correct.  If you hold the stock for any period of time and sell it at a gain, that gain would be taxable in the state of your residences.  This event is likely to require that you file a tax return in both states.  The good news is that you off set one states taxes with a like deduction for that tax in the other.  \nOptions are sometimes very tricky to properly report on your tax return.  You may wish to consult with a tax professional in your area.  You should attempt to locate some one that is familiar with stock options.

There are three rates of income tax (10%, 22%, 40%) plus national insurance contributions (10%). As a generalisation, assume about third of you salary will go on taxes.

I haven't done this in forever, but I'll try.  If I get something egregiously wrong, let me know via email.\n\nIn the interests of laziness, I used M instead of MM for million.\n\nIn time 0, there's\n-15M\n-150k\nSum = -15.15M\n\nIn year 1,\nthere's\n-1M from fixed costs\n-5.65M from change in NWC (58M in sales -> 5.8M total)\n+8M from (sales - VC)\n-2.8M in tax\n+1.5M from deprecation tax shield\nSum = .05M\n\nIn year 2,\n-1M in fixed costs\n-2.9M from change in NWC (87M in sales)\n+12M from (sales - VC)\n-4.4M in tax\n+1.5 from depr\nSum = 5.2M\n\nIn year 3,\n-1M in fixed\n+4.35M (43.5M in sales)\n+6M from (sales - VC)\n-2M in tax\n+1.5 from depr\nSum = 8.85M\n\nAt the end (still year 3),\nthere's\n+4.35M from recovered NWC\n+3.75M in salvage value (might be less if the book value is less than 3.75...I don't exactly remember how to handle this, but it might be 60% depending on if the sale is taxed from whatever cost basis)\nSum = 8.1M\n\nSo, -15.15M + (.05M/1.2) + (5.2M/1.2^2) + (8.85/1.2^3) + (8.1M/1.2^3) = -1.69M\n\nThe IRR is relatively trivial from here.\n\nHm, so it's looking negative.  I'm not sure.  There's definitely something off in my calculations somewhere.  *shrug*

Try the international terminal at an airport. There are currency exchange booths, which offer different rates.

There are spot exchange rates, what someone exchanges at the moment (these actually have little effect)\nThere are future exchange rates which is included in a contract my companies of different countries.  Such as British Company is selling an asset to American Company for 100,000 Pounds due in 30 days.  The equivalent price of the asset in dollars to the 100,000 pounds is the exchange rate.  These types of exchange rates typically make up the rate.\n\nThese two things make up the current exchange rate showing its intense variablity.\n\nTrying to make a model to determine exchange rates has led to many flaws using prices, real and nominal rates, and inflation in order to determine them.

Depends on how many dependants and how much you write off as business expense.  Tax is typically 1/3

If the options are in-the-money, you should certainly exercise them.  \n\nThe options you have are either qualified or non-qualified options.  If they are nonqualified, then the fact that you are subject to the AMT doesn't matter.  You have to pay ordinary income taxes on the difference between the fair market value and the strike price.  Let's look at an example.  Suppose you can buy the stock at $10 per share and it is trading at $22 per share.  $10 is the strike price and $22 is the fair market value.  You have to pay ordinary income taxes on (22-10) = $12 per share.  $22.00 now becomes your tax basis.  Let's say you hold onto the shares for two years and sell at $40.  You have to pay long-term capital gains taxes on the gain -- and the gain is $40 minus your tax basis of $22 -- so you pay capital gains taxes on a $18 gain per share.\n\nNow let's suppose that they are qualified options (part of an employee option plan open to everyone).  If you weren'r subject to the AMT, then you have no taxable event until you sell the stock.  When you do, you are subject to capital gains tax on the difference between what you sell it at and what you bought it at.\n\nHowever, you are subject to AMT taxes.  This means that when you exercise the options, you have to pay taxes at the AMT rate on the difference between the fair market value and the strike price.  This is just like the non-qualified case -- except that you pay at the 20% AMT rate rather than the higher ordinary tax rate (which could be as high as 39.6%).  The fair market value (price at exercise) becomes your tax bases.  When you eventually sell the stock, any capital gains is taxed at the long or short term capital gains rate where the gain is the difference between the selling price and your tax basis.\n\nHolding onto the stock has risks.  It is possible for the stock to fall below the value of the owed taxes.  This happened to a lot of people during the 2001 burting of the internet bubble.

It depends what you invest in. US t-bonds will give you about 5%, German bonds 8%, and Brazil 12.5% or so (no capital gains taxes in Brazil either!). Of course, as you can guess, though, the higher the reward, the higher the risk.
