Malta and Gibraltar sign tax information agreement

by Gibraltar Stock Brokers

http://www.independent.com.mt/news.asp?newsitemid=138806

 

'Malta and Gibraltar have signed a Tax Information Exchange Agreement (TIEA) which provides for a full exchange of information on tax matters.

The High Commissioner in London, Joseph Zammit Tabona, who signed for the Maltese government, said the agreement reinforces links and strengthens bilateral relations, particularly in the fields of financial services and business.

Gibraltar’s Minister with responsibility for Financial Services, Gilbert Licudi, said Malta and Gibraltar share very important social, cultural and political links. “A significant part of Gibraltar’s population are descendants of Maltese nationals which means that our heritage is intrinsically bound together. There is already an element of business activity that we share with Malta. We trust that this agreement will encourage the development of an even closer business relationship.”

‘Maths PhD not enough to work out bank fees’

by Gibraltar Stock Brokers

http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/business/industries/banking/article3288613.ece?CMP=EMCeb1

 

“Exorbitant” bank overdraft charges are so complex that even a postgraduate maths student could not work them out, a study has claimed.

Which? asked customers to work out the overdraft charges on a range of mock bank statements and found that not one respondent was able to calculate all the fees correctly, including a maths PhD student. The 12 respondents managed to get only seven of forty-eight calculations right between them.

The way in which unauthorised overdraft penalties are applied varies greatly between banks. Which? found the highest fees to be from First Direct and its parent HSBC, at £150 a month. This would apply to customers with the First Direct 1st Account and HSBC Bank Account who were overdrawn for 21 days in a row and made 12 payments while in the red. Barclays’ fee for a customer in the same situation is £66.

Nationwide Building Society’s FlexAccount had the highest charge for customers overdrawn for a short period, at £50. This would apply if a customer was overdrawn for two days and made one payment while overdrawn. The Halifax Reward Account would charge the same customer £10.

Which? also highlighted the impact of daily unauthorised overdraft charges, which are as much as £6 a day in the case of Royal Bank of Scotland and NatWest. These equate to an annual interest rate of 2,190 per cent on a £100 overdraft.

Banks are required to publish examples of their charges in six common scenarios on their websites. But annual statements detailing all charges, text message alerts and buffer zones may not be introduced until March 2013.

Peter Vicary-Smith, the chief executive of Which?, said: “While the Government has announced reforms to tackle unfair overdraft charges, they simply don’t go far enough.

‘It’s extremely disappointing to find that bank charges are still too high, too complex and impossible to compare.”

Gibraltar Stock Broker : 'Investors face increased tax bill after law change in Spain'

by Gibraltar Stock Brokers
2001_gibraltar_gold_coin

http://www.international-adviser.com/news/products/investors-face-increased-tax-bill

A temporary amendment to the personal income tax law in Spain could leave investors in non tax-compliant offshore bonds facing a higher tax bill in 2014, according to Skandia International.

On 1 January, the Spanish personal income tax regime was temporarily modified resulting in a rise in income tax for 2012 and 2013. While the changes will have “little or no impact” on those who hold tax-compliant offshore bond policies until at least 2014, those using non compliant tax-compliant products will pay up to 3% more each year in tax both this year and next.

Skandia said, from the 1 January this year to the end of 2013, gains on tax-compliant offshore bonds will be taxed at a rate of 21% (as opposed to the normal rate of 19%) which is then withheld by tax-compliant providers. There will be no further personal income tax liability for the policyholder if the gains amount to less than €6,000 (£4,981, $7,661) savings income in a tax year – including interest earned on savings accounts and dividends received in the same tax year. A further 4% personal income tax liability will need to be accounted for by the policyholder on the next €18,000 savings income and a further 6% if the overall savings income for that tax year is above €24,000.  If the policy suffers a loss over the tax period, the loss can be offset against other income tax liabilities.

In contrast, non tax-compliant policies are required to withhold tax every year and so will be further affected by the increase during the next two years, said Skandia. Furthermore, in instances where the provider of a non-compliant policy fails to withhold tax correctly, and in a timely manner, policyholders may become subject to penalties for non-reporting, and these can range from 50% to 150%.

However, Skandia conceded that non tax-compliant policies have their merits as such policies can offer other features which can make them attractive to certain types of investors – for example, by providing access to a wider investment universe of assets and the ability offset losses on an annual basis.

Rachael Griffin, head of product law and commercial development at Skandia International, said “In today’s world, the choices available to investors can be overwhelming. It is crucial they understand the implications of choosing the right product in order to utilise the available tax advantages to the full.

“For example, tax-compliant bonds reduce the burden of reporting on individuals classed as tax-resident in Spain and can be affected by changes in tax regimes to a lesser degree than non tax-complaint alternatives. The recent changes introduced on 1st January 2012 illustrate these advantages perfectly.”

TCF, RDR, MiFID 2, FFI and FATCA :- Acronyms that could kill yourbusiness

by Gibraltar Stock Brokers
The_devil_you_know

'...RDR and its ultimate impact on the industry has been discussed countless times in the press, at industry conferences, internal meetings and so on, but what about that other ‘elephant in the room’, FATCA? This is the rule, effective from 2013, that enforces reporting on all US taxpayers investing via a foreign financial institution (FFI).

Prepare for the worst

The final draft of the regulation from the US IRS has yet to be finalised, and we should expect some further guidance in the coming days (possibly even on Monday 16th January). However, the message from the experts that I have spoken with in the past couple of weeks is to be prepared for the worst.

What constitutes a FFI is not entirely clear, and it looks as though IFAs might be excluded unless they are licensed to take deposits, provide custodial services for clients or hold client assets in a nominee account that they have control over...'

Gibraltar Broker, 'lack of supply UK housing means significant price resistance in 2012..'

by Gibraltar Stock Brokers

http://boulle.co/UK_housing_shortage

'Housing shortage continues to limit downside to prices'


A lack of supply in the market is likely to prevent any significant house price declines in 2012, figures from RICS show

'Sales of homes may rise a little over the coming year but prices will struggle to follow suit, according to the latest report from RICS.

Prices are expected to edge 3% lower across the UK however the low level of supply that is expected to continue into 2012 should stabilise prices and preventing significant declines.

RICS expects transaction levels to see a slight improvement next year and rise back to around 880,000, roughly around the same level recorded in 2010. To highlight how much transaction levels have fallen over the past few years, total sales in 2006 were almost double this amount at 1.67m.

"The weak economic picture anticipated for the next six months, along with the prospect of increased unemployment, means that demand to purchase property is unlikely to see any significant increase and will remain relatively flat," said RICS in a statement.

"While the government's recently announced mortgage indemnity scheme is designed to help up to 100,000 buyers onto the property ladder, this is likely to have limited impact as it is restricted purely to new build properties," it added.

RICS chief economist Simon Rubinsohn commented, "The general economic climate is likely to be the biggest influence on the residential property market next year. Prices could edge a little lower as unemployment continues to rise. However, the lack of supply in the market is likely to prevent any significant house price declines."

Investors Europe Stock Brokers '..Google Reins in Spending on Renewable Energy Technology..'

by Pierre Boulle

Back in July Larry Page became Google's new chief executive and immediately began a campaign to reign in Google's projects and focus their resources. This was due to the stiff competition they were facing in mobile computing and social networking from Apple and Facebook, and also investor sentiment towards increasing expenditure on none core businesses.

One of the latest casualties of this "spring cleaning" was the big green initiative, RE<C (Renewable Energy cheaper than Coal), which was an ambitious idea to make renewable energy cost competitive with coal-fired power plants. The plan was to build cheaper and more efficient heliostats, mirrors that reflect the suns rays onto water-filled boilers in order to create steam and generate electricity in turbines.

The easiest way to increase the competitiveness of solar based energy is to increase the efficiency of the system, and decrease the running costs. Google used it's brainpower to try and develop a new type of Brayton Engine that would run on compressed hot air rather than steam, because solar plants are generally constructed in the desert where water is hard to come by.

Google's senior vice president, Urs Hölzle, justified the cancellation of the CE<C project by saying "At this point, other institutions are better positioned than Google to take this research to the next level......we've published our results to help others in the field continue to advance the state of power tower technology, and we've closed our efforts."

However this set back does not signify that Google is moving away from championing greener energy, it is merely going to use its bank account to further the cause rather than its brainpower. In fact they have already increased their investment in renewable technologies, granting $850 million of investment into solar power, wind farms and other projects.
