duplicate taxation

Read a random definition: gestio pro haerede

A quick definition of duplicate taxation:

Duplicate taxation is when someone or something is taxed twice for the same thing. This can happen when two different governments or agencies both try to tax the same person or thing. It's not fair to be taxed twice for the same thing, so it's important to make sure that taxes are only paid once.

A more thorough explanation:

Duplicate taxation is when a person or business is taxed twice on the same thing or income. This can happen in different ways:

  • Double taxation: This is when the same property or income is taxed twice by the same government or different governments. For example, a company may be taxed on its profits and then shareholders may be taxed again on the dividends they receive from those profits.
  • Juridical double taxation: This is when two or more countries tax the same person or business on the same thing or income. For example, if a person works in one country but lives in another, they may be taxed by both countries on their income.

Duplicate taxation can be unfair and burdensome for taxpayers. To avoid it, some countries have tax treaties that prevent double taxation for certain types of income.

An example of double taxation is when a company earns $100,000 in profits. The company pays corporate income tax on those profits, let's say 21%, which amounts to $21,000. Then, the company distributes $50,000 of those profits as dividends to its shareholders. The shareholders must pay personal income tax on those dividends, let's say 15%, which amounts to $7,500. In total, the company and its shareholders paid $28,500 in taxes on the same $100,000 of profits.

An example of juridical double taxation is when a person works in one country but lives in another. The person may be taxed on their income by both countries. To avoid this, some countries have tax treaties that allow the person to claim a tax credit in one country for the taxes paid in the other country.

I have not had a date change either for Mich but I've seen people get in without one so who knows
I applied 9/25 to like 6 schools and some (Houston) have no date change yet so dw
soapy

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review
my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao
soapy

I saw some Reddit adcom say that they can see any time we refresh the status checker; I wonder if it's a red flag if an applicant's checked it like 50 times in a day?
soapy

Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?

Or another essay?
