Question: Why do people say Texas does not have high paying jobs?

The following median income is from the us census bureau it is the total of all income for the state, which can include one or more people in household or single income earner.

64,563 California median income
52,355 Texas median income

64,563 minus 52,355 equals 12,208

211,500 California average home price
82,500 Texas average home price

California has more taxes, higher home prices, which after all the numbers are crunched money in Texas goes alot further.

Low paying jobs in Texas? Yes that is true if you are uneducated, an illegal immigrant or in the wrong field.

There are tons of people in Texas who make alot of money.

Answer: I will take Texas over California any day! I just moved out of CA and it is ridiculous how over-priced everything is. Even food costs more. And 200k for a CA house seems a little under-priced.. more like 400k.

Economic Collapse 2.0 – Endgame – Part 5

Question: I understand that in UK, a child’s income (from gifted shares etc), is added to the father’s income ?

for tax purposes.

I am also told that children have their own tax-free personal allowance. (£5035). How are the two statements reconciled?
Does it mean the father only pays tax for the child’s income if it exceeds the child’s tax-free personal allowance?
I would really be grateful for an expert opinion on this.

Answer: The child does have its own personal allowance which can be used against any income it receives.
BUT, gifts from parents (only) which generate income over £100 will have the income assessed on the parent.
This stops people giving investements to their kids to save tax.
Make the gift from grandparents and it’s OK.

Is it possible to live a life without money?

When Katharine Hibbert lost her job and her flat she didn’t just downsize – she decided to dispense with money altogether, living on the stuff the rest of us throw away I was sitting in a park, feeling sick. I’d left my job, packed my possessions away and given up my rented flat. My plan had been to find a squat and some food dumped by a shop or a cafe to eat, and to see how long I could survive …

Question: First Time Tax Payer from India?

Hi. I’m a first time taxpayer from India and completely clueless. I’ just can’t figure out all the stuff about financial year, assessment year etc. despite reading it off loads of websites..duh!

My question is, if I’ve earned income from 1st April 2008 to 31st March 2009, do I have to file an Income Tax Return by 31st July 2009?

I’m a self employed professional and all my income has come with Tax Deducted at Source.

Answer: You have to file your income tax returns by 31st July 2009 for the Financial Year 1st April 08 to 31st March 09 that is for the FY:08-09. The same is called as AY:09-10.

That means the FY 08-09 accounts will be assessed in AY 09-10.

If you are a professional, then you need to file your returns in ITR-4 form. If your gross receipts are more than 10 lakhs as a professional, then your accounts need to be audited u/s 44AB. In this case the due date for filing your returns will be 31st Oct.09 instead of 31st July 09.
