postheadericon Biogas as The Cimate Savior to Economic Problems

Biogas as The Cimate Savior to Economic ProblemsEipzig. (Ceto) renewable are on everyone’s lips, especially the biomass, which is disputed by the king with more than 70 percent share of renewable energies in Germany. Biomass is also fermented into biogas into biome thane. Especially in the east the vast, mostly spherical vats shooting from the floor. No wonder, here is expected due to low population density but with little resistance. Moreover, the large-scale agriculture – a prerequisite for a commercially reasonably tolerable biomass production – significantly more pronounced than in the western part of the country.

Not only food competitor
But as with wind power (“blot on the country”) as well as photovoltaic (“too much support in Germany is not enough seems Sun”), stirring now and in the biomass re-state that is not in the well-known competition for food and related hunger Third world is running out, but in this country from very tangible reasons.

This is how Dietmar Oeliger by NABU and dangers of a lack of arable land. “If previously unused land, such as meadows, arable made and corn is grown escapes by breaking up the soil so much CO2 that it can be bound only in the course of ten years back,” said the Head of Transport Policy of Germany’s oldest environmental organization (see FUEL MIRROR 7/2011, pages 13 and 27).

Without subsidy hardly economically
Purely economic biome thane is not much better positioned than other renewable. The Agency stated “disproportionately high costs for biogas” exception.. Provider, the biogas directly into electricity Matthias Kurth, head of the agency, speaks of a “significant discrepancy between the cost of production of biogas and the market prices for fossil natural gas.” 2010 was the cost of producing biogas with an average of 6 cents per kilowatt hour. Biogas is thus about three times as expensive as natural gas. Its costs were on average at 2.07 cents per kilowatt hour. When consumers bear this in addition to procurement costs, contribute to rising gas prices. (See here).

Government will miss its target fed
These costs are also responsible for ensuring that the ambitious goals of the federal government to supply biogas are hard to satisfy. According to a study by the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology 2020, about four billion cubic meters to be fed. This is considerably less than the stated goal of six billion cubic meters. The complete article can be read here.

postheadericon Introduction of economic goods to company securities

Introduction of economic goods to company securitiesAssets from the private assets will be incorporated into a private company that, depending on the configuration of the transmission of different tax consequences, over which the Federal Ministry of Finance on 11 Has informed July 2011. The Brunswick Tax Consultant Monika Nadler describes the criteria for the introduction of economic goods in exchange for company securities.

Go with the transfer of economic assets by the transferor an associated increase in proportion to the partnership; it is called a transfer in exchange for company securities. For the legal analysis is the capital account of balance of trade is of major importance. The Commercial Law defines the scope of rights in the company after the share capital of the shareholder. Typical social rights, for example, the distribution of annual profits, the authority to make withdrawals, and the right to conduct discussions on behalf of the partnership.

Unless permitted by the accounting agreement in the partnership agreement of commercial standard is different, there is the tax assessment is as follows:

Capital Account I
Be made following the transfer of assets from private property postings on the capital account I, the Treasury is assuming that there is a transfer in exchange for company securities. Is relevant to the granting of membership rights in the areas – of distribution of profits, withdrawals and disputes. The transfer of voting rights based solely on a sufficient consideration, because they do not relate to the involvement of a company.

Other shareholder accounts
Contractual agreements allow the company leadership variable shareholder accounts. Whether a transfer is associated here with the granting of social rights, is determined case by case basis from the relevant contractual agreements. Be in an account not only income but also loss booked, this is the case as evidence of the existence of a capital account.

If such, capital account II called, before posting account, the same rules apply as for the existence of a single capital account. This is expected in fiscal points of view from a single capital account that gives the company rights with postings on sub-accounts.

The account does not qualify as a partner’s capital account, is the case of the existence of a loan account. The transfer of assets to book on a loan account does not grant any rights society. Here there is a pecuniary transfer which should be treated in accordance with § 6 paragraph 1 number 1 or 2 Income Tax Act.

Thus unfolds the transfer of assets from personal assets to a partnership, the desired consequences, should first consult an experienced tax and accounting experts will be sought in each case. The Brunswick Tax Consultant Monika Nadler is always this happy.

postheadericon Lightning in Nations, mainly for economic reasons, Stop it

Lightning in Nations, mainly for economic reasons Stop it The speed camera madness robs motorists in Germany last nerve. Mainly because it controls the radar at this almost never about safety, but mostly just a matter of cash to pour into cities and states. goes. That at least 92.4% of respondents are the major transport survey 2011 from mobile convinced in Germany, 2238 people participated. While 71% of respondents approve of speed cameras, for safety purposes, while 85% of respondents claim that they control radar, which only serve the rehabilitation of homes, would finally stop. This is a clear message and challenge to the policy that excels with more demands for more controls, rather than to differentiate the existing and to re-sort.

One who fights vigorously against the speed camera madness in Germany, is the mobile lawyer in Germany Volker Pampuch. ”Velocity measurements by regulatory agencies, for economic reasons, are inadmissible, because there is no legal basis. There is no law – neither the police nor by regulatory authorities or from road traffic, not even the federal government, state or local authorities, covering a traffic monitoring fiscal point, “And what does the Federal Constitutional Court to that?” It has to date. no position taken. It simply states that permissible velocity measurements (final governed by law for safety and ease of traffic and security) are protected by law. All other measurements are inconsistent with the application are prohibited and misuse of powers. “ In addition: “In court summary proceedings, it is impossible to answer the question of what made wallpaper images for prosecution of traffic offenses have been, if it comes to the safety and efficiency of navigation, a security or fiscal interests.”

Therefore eV Volker Pampuch calls with Mobile in Germany: “The citizen has the right to transparent verification of the use of discretionary authority. This includes the obligation of the authorities, reasonable grounds for the orders of the radar measurements indicate. ”

Fact: The creams from local strong. And using ever more complete and less obtrusive traffic control methods. One example are radar pillars that look like light poles, infrared cameras, so-called ghost Blitzer, the flash disappears and the person concerned does not remember, or Police scan speed, a digital time measurement, by scanning laser, the velocities and positions of all vehicles in the measuring field determined. All these modern, technical equipment make it possible to silently more and more drivers fall into the trap, and every year hundreds of millions of euros in addition to flow into the public coffers. This is nothing more than a disguised illegal “tax” Mobile in Germany demands. End to the “Blitzer country” Germany. Our roads need more security but less rip-off

postheadericon Are there ways out of debt

Are there ways out of debtThe German government has debts of over € 1.5 trillion. The debt has increased in recent years to the extent that the debt is now almost exclusively used for interest payments. One can extrapolate mathematically how such a debt will develop over the next few years. Each year, a chunk of debt to every year is the higher interest burden. This crippled by compounding the budgetary policy more or less set.
If the debt ratio should continue as in recent years, are required for the doubling of the current national debt of 1.5 billion about 10 years. The next doubling phase lasts only 5 years, then there are only 3 years for the next doubling of the debt and are then available to the astronomical figure of 12 billion euros. So it is always faster and more extreme in the numbers shoot up. This is the mathematical law of exponential function.

Are we to believe the politicians who want to save with a tax increase and save the state? Even today, the tax burden almost 50%, and all because the politicians have put us into this train. Do you think that these gentlemen now take the train back again to leave?

On 16 August the following message through the ticker: “The rating agency Moody’s has asked the federal government, to reduce public debt by 2020 to 30% of the gross domestic product. This will not make it until then, there could be a debt spiral from which he would give to Germany no escape. ”

Future social security and pension claims: Prof. Bernd Raffelhüschen (Member of the Rürup Commission and Director of the Research Center for Generational Contracts at the University of Freiburg) requires that you have to involve in the debt debate, the hidden debt. For in addition to exposed liabilities (in the jargon explicit debt), and there are unfortunately also the hidden debt (implicit debt).These result from the amount of the future (and largely written) government obligations, such as Pensions, supplementary pensions and supplies. Thus, all public servants directly from the treasury or out of the current budget to be paid.Rising pension recipients – especially retired officers – thus automatically provide for a larger budget deficit and higher government debt, which then mutate from the currently implicit debt to explicit debt.

Then there is the demographic factor. Older age brings the annuity benefits longer, older age brings a significant increase in age-related diseases. The senile dementia will be encountered in 20 years, three times as often as today.Long term care is a ticking time bomb, because they do not meet the required performance with the current level of contributions can. And all this at a diminishing number of depositors in pension, health and nursing care.

What does the average debt

When politicians speak of a “historic moment”, is worth most skeptical. If, however, the Greek Finance Minister celebrates the enormous debt for his country as historically, one can agree with him.
The fact that the €-state economy ever comes back on its feet, is indeed far from certain. But one thing can be said that no debt waiver would have no chance the economy. If a country far more pressing debt as its factories earn in a year, the debt service eats every growth – the loans swell more and more, until the state is broke.

Historically, the debt is also a less positive reason which goes in everyday billion juggling modern politics easy: never in history has a country to its creditors such high losses brought – and Greece in general is the first EU country to sit by his lender.

Now you have to have no compassion for bond buyers: If you invest in the hope of profits, risking losses – this is not socialism, but pure capitalism. Negatively affects the debt of the same. For decades, European governments could finance easily, because insurers and other institutions with their full cash securities bought without hesitation. Thus, it is cut after the Greek past – and that will be felt by most governments, if they want to borrow money for new roads and schools. At first it met ailing euro-zone countries like Portugal or Italy, the cost of borrowing exploded, hurling Central Europe to hundreds of billions of Euros into the market.

A precept of justice

Nevertheless, Unpleasant taste the medicine and its side effects are so dangerous, there was no other means than debt relief. Now the Greeks are released, and it will be involved in addition to the tax payers, banks and investors in the restructuring of the country – an act of justice. The second aid package of € states gives the country more time to be a modern economy. The skeptical Germans could see in some time that the expensive bailout policy was correct: Because Greece was stabilized thereby, and the monetary union was to collapse rather than to pulverize it and also a lot of German prosperity.

Whether the future bet rising savior of Greece, is dependent on the Greeks from themselves. A bankruptcy is possible. When the essential economic reforms, the country has wasted much time. The bitter sacrifices nourish the people sympathetic blockade for a course that Greece would finally drive the sidelines. Trade unionists were trying to sabotage the participation of domestic pension funds on the debt waiver – and so the whole operation of government. This can fear the worst: If the Greeks cannot help themselves is not to help them more.
