in lieu tax

Read a random definition: Supra

A quick definition of in lieu tax:

In Lieu Tax: A type of tax that the government charges on people, entities, transactions, or property to generate public revenue. It is a monetary charge that can be paid in different forms, not just money. It is a way for the government to collect money to support public needs and services.

A more thorough explanation:

An in lieu tax is a type of tax that is paid in place of another tax. It is a monetary charge imposed by the government on persons, entities, transactions, or property to yield public revenue. This tax is often paid when a specific tax cannot be collected or when it is more convenient to pay a different tax instead.

  • Accrued tax: This is a tax that has been incurred but not yet paid or payable. For example, if a company owes taxes for the previous year but has not yet paid them, it has accrued tax.
  • Admission tax: This is a tax imposed as part of the price of being admitted to a particular event. For example, if you attend a concert and the ticket price includes a tax, that is an admission tax.
  • Additional tax: This is a tax that is imposed temporarily to raise revenue quickly. For example, if a city needs to repair a bridge and imposes a tax on gasoline to pay for it, that is an additional tax.

These examples illustrate how an in lieu tax can be used in different situations. They show that a tax can be imposed for various reasons and can be paid in different ways.

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?
MildChiller
12:09
Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl
12:19
Gecko what's ur dream school
Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova
Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me
Any advice? lol
[] baddestbunny
12:25
what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?
12:25
Hmmmm let me think

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year
Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that
I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh
I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
13:05
@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
13:30
@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
13:30
Anywhere that's top for PI

[] baddestbunny
16:01
They make the Yale app a lot of work to filter out the people who don’t really want it like that
16:25
