Parcel2Go Highlights Importance of Tracking Services as eBay Urges Sellers to Offer Them to Buyers
Parcel2Go Highlights Importance of Tracking Services as eBay Urges Sellers to Offer Them to Buyers Parcel delivery specialist Parcel2Go says companies and individuals should be looking to make the most out of parcel tracking services now available online. BOLTON, ENGLAND, July 01, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ — Parcel delivery specialist Parcel2Go says companies and individuals should be looking to make the most out of parcel tracking services now available online. Although the technology has been around in various forms for a number of years, its use is becoming more widespread thanks to the growth of ecommerce and the success of auction and retail sites such as eBay. As part of changes to eBay’s Top-rated Seller criteria, the company will soon require its most successful sellers to upload tracking information, within handling time, on 90 per cent or more of US transactions. Last week the auction and retail firm confirmed it would give sellers an extra month to comply with the new rule, but Parcel2Go says the direction the firm has taken shows the importance consumers now place on being able to keep an eye on goods they have purchased over the internet while they are in transit. Parcel2Go marketing director Richard Mercer said: “New technology has had a profound effect on the way that parcels are sent around the globe, and one of the major advances involves parcel tracking and the fact that it is now possible for senders and recipients to keep an eye on consignments as they head to their final destination. “eBay’s decision to make it compulsory for its Top-rated Sellers to pass on tracking information to buyers...IRA Financial Group Believes New Investment Tax Triggered by President Obama’s Health Care Law
IRA Financial Group Believes New Investment Tax Triggered by President Obama’s Health Care Law To Accelerate Interest in Self-Directed IRA & Roth IRA Investments New 3.8% percentage-point surtax on investment income, part of President Obama’s health-care overhaul to create more interest in tax-free IRA investments When the Supreme Court affirmed the President Obama’s health care law on Thursday, June 28, 2012, most Americans were not aware that a new tax, which Congress passed in 2010, will significantly impact the net investment income of most joint filers with adjusted gross income of more than $250,000 ($200,000 for single filers). Although there is not yet any IRS guidance on this new law, the tax attorneys at the IRA Financial Group believe that starting on January 1, 2013, the tax rates on long-term capital gains and dividends for these earners will jump from their current historic low of 15% to 18.8%, assuming Congress extends the current tax rates. IRA Financial Group believes with the advent of the new tax, investors will be looking to shelter more of their assets in tax-deferred or tax-free retirement accounts in order to protect their assets from this new investment tax. “self-directed IRA or Roth IRA investment income would not be subject to the 3.8& tax”, notes Adam Bergman, a tax attorney with the IRA Financial Group. “The self-directed Roth IRA offers the best protection against the new investment tax triggered as a result of the Obama health care law because all income and withdrawals are tax-free,” stated Mr. Bergman. Using a self directed IRA or self-directed Roth IRA as an investment vehicle is extremely attractive tax...Seeking Workers’ Compensation Benefits While Employed in Another State
Workers who are employed in one state, but reside in another, may have questions about which state would handle their workers’ compensation claim if they were ever injured. Workers who are employed in one state, but reside in another, may have questions about which state would handle their workers’ compensation claim if they were ever injured. A number of people in the Tri-State area may live in Connecticut and work in New York or New Jersey and may be unsure which state has jurisdiction of their workers’ compensation claim. They may instinctively file for benefits in the state where they reside. Such was the case in Baron v. Genlyte Thomas Group, LLC, et al. where a salesman for a New Jersey based lighting fixtures company lived in Connecticut. His territory consisted of three New York counties, and he attended weekly sales meetings in New Jersey. He was injured in a car accident in New York while he was driving to one of his sales meetings in New Jersey. After his death five months later, his estate sought benefits from the State of Connecticut Workers’ Compensation Commission. After the claim was denied, the Connecticut Appellate Court held that it did not hold jurisdiction over the claim because Connecticut had only a “peripheral relationship” to the employment. Significant Relationship Analysis Connecticut law requires that workers’ compensation claimants have a “significant relationship” with employers in the state. This may include relationships with employers based in the state or a substantial amount of work conducted in Connecticut, even though an employer may be based in a different state. The Baron estate claimed that...
