What is the 'luxury tax' in BB?
817338
The luxury tax's purpose is to help maintain competitive balance, which is why you'll sometimes see it called the "competitive balance tax."  It's often confused with revenue sharing, but they are completely different issues.\n\nFor each year of the CBA, a threshold is set - for example, that in 2007 will be $136.5 million.  Any team that exceeds that amount will be assessed a level of taxation, and the amount will depend on how many times they've exceeded the threshold.  For a first-time offender, it's 22.5%.  For more info on thresholds and tax percentages, check this page:\n\nhttp://www.bizofbaseball.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=394&Itemid=39\n\nI'm not sure how much this luxury tax really helps.  I'd personally rather see more go to the revenue sharing pool, where I believe the "poor" teams should have to spend a certain amount instead of pocketing the cash.\n\nHope this helps.

VAT was implemented keeping the commom man in mind. Three other taxes were done away with to accomodate VAT. The taxes on goods is of prime importance as it keeps a check on the black money. Also, contrary to the popular belief that things will get costlier due to VAT, there are no changes in prices of most of the things

BR is basic rate - it means that you will pay tax at the basic rate of 22% on all taxable income. It is also known as the emergency tax code.  If you have changed jobs recently you need to provide your new employer with your P45 from your previous employment as this will let your current employer know how much tax & NICs you paid in your previous job and lets them tax you at the correct rate rather than 22%.  \n\n489L is the standard allowance for a person under the age of 65 for the tax year 6 April 2005 - 5 April 2006, it basically means that the first £4,895 employment income that you receive is not taxed and the subsequent £2,090 is taxed at 10%, ie on the first £6,985 income you would only pay £209 tax.  Any earnings between £6,986 to £37,295 is taxed at 22% and above £37,296 is taxed at 40%.  This does not take into account any savings or dividend income which are taxed at 20% and 10 or 32.5% respectively.\n\nWhen your employer receives your tax coding they will normally apply a rate of tax from a special table meaning that your tax for the full year on your salary will be worked out and then you will pay the same amount of tax in each payment period.

They'll find somewhere else to tax it from, don't you worry.  They always seem to find somewhere else to tax it from.  Since we're going into an era of health-food police, maybe instead of taxing you per income, they will tax you per pound every April 15.\n\nThe government that steals from Peter to give to Paul can always count on Paul for support.

It is your lucky Day because this plan is already a bill in the House (HR 25) and Senate (S 25) it is called the Fair Tax!!\n\nIt was developed by the finance department at MIT.\n\nAll products and services are taxed as the same rate but this tax is included in the posted price of the product BY LAW. (the receipt will show how much tax was paid)\n\nThis will eliminate the wholes in the tax system for interest groups and give people more freedom on how to use their money.\n\nFood is taxed but every household (may be dependent on income) gets a Pre-Bait check for all the cost of the tax on the basics of living for that month.  \n\nThere are no taxes on used products so no taxes at your garage sale or on your used house.\n\nNo tax on savings, investments, income, businesses, etc.\n\nThings are only taxed once at the retail level.\n\nI am personally excited about this and I think everyone should contact their Senator and Representative and tell them to support the Fair Tax!!

The 51.1 million goes to his team the Seibu Lions as a posting fee, to compensate the team for the loss of Matsuzaka. Now they have the right to create his actual contract which will be 4-5 years for 7-10 million a year or around $40 mill which goes to him. The $51 million isn't included in the luxury tax, and think about the Japanese people buying Red Sox Matsuzaka jerseys. The man is a hero to them because of his performance in the WBC. The Red Sox will make back the $51 million posting fee before he becomes a free agent. Even if this is a lot to you, Barry Zito will make over $90 million and his numbers have gotten worse every year. And he's 26, so he's actually quite young, younger than Zito and entering his prime. Get your facts straight.\n\nThe only real argument is that this is a lot of money for a guy who will be classified as a rookie next year.

I am currently looking for my next investment property & have just returned from Bundy.  They have a new land estate called Branyan Park, depending on your price range, they have house & land packages from $250,000!  If you wanted to be a little closer to Noosa / Brisbane way then you may want to look at what's available at Cooloola Sands.

If you're talking about state income tax, then it might be a couple depending on tax bracket.  Possibly Vermont or DC.\n\nSales tax is probably California.
