interest-equalization tax

Read a random definition: ob turpem causam

A quick definition of interest-equalization tax:

An interest-equalization tax is a type of tax that the government charges on certain transactions or property to generate public revenue. Taxes are like contributions that people and entities have to pay to support the government and its public needs. They can be in the form of money or other types of charges. For example, an admission tax is a tax that you have to pay to enter a particular event. An accumulated-earnings tax is a penalty tax imposed on a corporation that has retained its earnings to avoid income-tax liability.

A more thorough explanation:

An interest-equalization tax is a type of tax imposed by the government on certain transactions or entities to generate public revenue. It is a monetary charge that is not necessarily payable in money.

  • Accrued tax: A tax that has been incurred but not yet paid or payable.
  • Accumulated-earnings tax: A penalty tax imposed on a corporation that has retained its earnings in an effort to avoid the income-tax liability arising once the earnings are distributed to shareholders as dividends.
  • Admission tax: A tax imposed as part of the price of being admitted to a particular event.

These examples illustrate how taxes can take different forms and be imposed on various entities or transactions. For instance, an accrued tax is a tax that has been incurred but not yet paid, while an accumulated-earnings tax is a penalty tax imposed on corporations that retain their earnings to avoid income tax. An admission tax, on the other hand, is a tax imposed on individuals attending a particular event.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
