Simple English definitions for legal terms

carveout

Read a random definition: face value

A quick definition of carveout:

A carveout is when you make an exception to a big rule. It's like saying, "This rule applies to everyone, except for this one thing." In taxes, a carveout means separating the income you make from a certain property so that it's not taxed the same way as your other income.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A carveout is an exception to a general rule. In tax terms, it refers to the separation of income derived from a property from the property itself.

Example 1: A company may have a policy that all employees must work a minimum of 40 hours per week. However, there may be a carveout for employees with medical conditions that prevent them from working full-time.

Example 2: In tax law, a carveout may be used to separate the income earned from a property from the property itself. For instance, if a person owns a rental property, they may be able to carve out the income earned from renting the property from the property's overall value for tax purposes.

The examples illustrate how a carveout is an exception to a general rule. In the first example, the general rule is that all employees must work a minimum of 40 hours per week. However, the carveout allows for an exception to this rule for employees with medical conditions. In the second example, the general rule is that income earned from a property is taxed along with the property's overall value. However, the carveout allows for the separation of the income earned from the property for tax purposes.

No, at least from the two people I know there that’s false. I think it’s just something like Chicago for conservatives is on par with S whereas for liberals it’s below HYS but above CCNP

I mean I think even the student body there only like 15 percent is part of fedsoc
It's more just not a good # for people who aren't willing to clerk conservative. I'm sure they place liberal clerks at an above average rate for a t-6 though. Maybe higher (not entirely sure)
