Bernie Sanders says he'll release 10 years of his tax returns by Monday
By Sean Sullivan

Presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who has faced pressure over when he would release his tax returns, said Tuesday he intends to do so by April 15.
Since Sanders entered the 2020 race in February he's vowed to show his tax documents to the public, but offered no specific timetable for when.
Now Sanders says he'll have a decade of tax returns available for viewing within the week.
"So you were staying up nights worrying about it?" Sanders quipped during an impromptu interview on Capitol Hill. "Be patient."
Sanders, in confirming his plans, used the moment to get in a dig at his would-be opponent President Trump, who has refused to release any tax documents.
"We'd like to release 10 years and we certainly hope the president will follow our lead," Sanders said. "We're going to release 10 years; we hope the president does."
Several of Sanders's Democratic primary challengers have released their tax returns, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.) and Amy Klobuchar (Minn.).
The New York Times first reported Sanders's definitive plans to release his returns by Tax Day. During that interview, Sanders, who rails against the wealthy, also conceded that he's a millionaire.
"I wrote a best-selling book. If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire, too," he said.
America Rising, the super PAC backing Trump's reelection immediately seized upon that quote, blasting an email with the subject line: "One Percenter Bernie Makes The Case For Capitalism."
Sanders' personal financial disclosures, which he's required to file as a member of Congress, show he received more than $880,000 in book royalties in 2017. His 2016 disclosure shows a similar amount earned from book royalties.
The documents also show more than two dozen mutual funds belonging to Jane O'Meara Sanders, the senator's wife. The disclosures only provide a range for the values of each fund. Some ranged in value from $1,001-15,000, while others ranged from $15,001-50,000.
Sanders has frequently sought to tamp down interest in his taxes, saying they will bore the people who review them. The last time he ran for president, he faced criticism for not releasing his tax information more quickly.
The issue came up at an April 2016 debate, in which his then-opponent Hillary Clinton pointed out that she had released decades of returns and that Sanders and Trump should do the same.
The following day, Sanders released his 2014 tax filing, showing more than $200,000 income for him and his wife, most of which came from his Senate salary.
At a CNN town hall shortly after launching his 2020 campaign, Sanders was asked why he didn't release more of his taxes last time around.
"I didn't end up doing it because I didn't win the nomination. If we had won the nomination, we would have done it," he replied.
In that same interview, he promised to release them "sooner than later."

« Alternative Medicine series: dirty tricks at the BBC?
No unproven treatments on NHS!
This letter was sent to the chief executives of 476 NHS Trusts (acute and primary care trusts). It was the main headline in The Times, and the lead item on the BBC's Today Programme.
We are a group of physicians and scientists who are concerned about ways in which nproven or disproved treatments are being encouraged for general use in the NHS. We would ask you to review practices in your own trust, and to join us in representing our concerns to the Department of Health because we want patients to benefit from the best treatments available.
These are not trivial matters. We urge you to take an early opportunity to review practice in your own trust with a view to ensuring that patients do not receive misleading information about the effectiveness of alternative medicines. We would also ask you to write to the Department of Health requesting evidence-based information for trusts and for patients with respect to alternative medicine.
As soon as this appeared the phone started ringing.
Michael Baum did an excellent job on the Today Programme, and on BBC Birmingham, BBC55, BBC world service, ITN news (interviewed for 20 minutes outdoor in the rain), Sky News live, and as well as all that he saw patients, and missed lunch while in the operating theatre. Michael comments " How was your day your Royal Highness? ".
Leslie Rose did BBC Breakfast TV interview and various radio stations.
I did interviews for BBC News24, BBC1 News, Chanel 5 News, Sky news, the Jeremy Vine Show (radio 2), BBC Radio Solent, and wrote something for the Scotsman. Today it's Radio London at 10.35 pm and tomorrow, Radio Foyle (Derry).

Coverage in The Times, 23 May 2006. The front page headline.
Here is Mark Henderson's article.
A GROUP of Britain's leading doctors has urged every NHS trust to stop paying for alternative medicine and to use the money for conventional treatments.
Their appeal is a direct challenge to the Prince of Wales's outspoken campaign to widen access to complementary therapies.
Public funding of "unproven or disproved treatments" such as homoeopathy and reflexology, which are promoted by the Prince, is unacceptable while huge NHS deficits are forcing trusts to sack nurses and limit access to life-saving drugs, the doctors say.
The 13 scientists, who include some of the most eminent names in British medicine, have written to the chief executives of all 476 acute and primary care trusts to demand that only evidence-based therapies are provided free to patients.
Their letter, seen by The Times, has been sent as the Prince today steps up his crusade for increased provision of alternative treatments with a controversial speech to the World Health Organisation assembly in Geneva.
The Prince, who was yesterday given a lesson in crystal therapy while touring a complementary health unit in Merthyr Tydfil, will ask the WHO to embrace alternative therapies in the fight against serious disease. His views have outraged clinicians and researchers, who claim that many of the therapies that he advocates have been shown to be ineffective in trials or have never been properly tested.
The letter criticises two of his flagship initiatives on complementary medicine: a government-funded patient guide prepared by his Foundation for Integrated Medicine, and the Smallwood report last year, which he commissioned to make a financial case for increasing NHS provision.
Both documents, it is claimed, give misleading information about scientific support for therapies such as homoeo-pathy, described as "an implausible treatment for which over a dozen systematic reviews have failed to produce convincing evidence of effectiveness".
The letter's signatories include Sir James Black, who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1988, and Sir Keith Peters, president of the Academy of Medical Science, which represents Britain's leading clinical researchers.
It was organised by Michael Baum, Emeritus Professor of Surgery at University College London, and other supporters include six Fellows of the Royal Society, Britain's national academy of science, and Professor Edzard Ernst, of the Peninsula Medical School in Exeter, who holds the UK's first chair in complementary medicine.
The doctors ask trust chief executives to review their policies so that patients are given accurate information, and not to waste scarce resources on therapies that have not been shown to work by rigorous clinical trials.
Professor Baum, a cancer specialist, said that he had organised the letter because of his "utter despair" at growing NHS acceptance of alternative treatments while drugs of proven effectiveness are being withheld. "At a time when we are struggling to gain access for our patients to Herceptin, which is absolutely proven to extend survival in breast cancer, I find it appalling that the NHS should be funding a therapy like homoeopathy that is utterly bogus," he said.
He said that he was happy for the NHS to offer the treatments once research has proven them effective, such as acupuncture for pain relief, but that very few had reached the required standards.
The Department of Health does not keep figures on the total NHS spending on alternative medicine, but Britain's total market is estimated at £1.6 billion.

Oliver's Column in My News - January 2017
Monday, 2 January, 2017
I commute daily into London on the Thameslink line. I know from experience, the correspondence I receive and conversations on the platform the intensity of the anger towards Govia Thameslink over their abysmal service.
As your MP I can't directly control the performance of Govia Thameslink. I do though use my position to convey this frustration and try to understand what has caused it and what can be done to rectify it.
To this end, before Christmas I met twice with the Transport Secretary. I presented him with a dossier of all the complaints that I have received about the service. They describe horrendous commutes that are frustrated by missed stops, delays and cancellations.
I also relayed the same message to Charles Horton, Chief Executive of Govia Thameslink. Thameslink blame a series of one-off factors such as tragic fatalities and power outages, which has been combined with teething problems with new trains and compounded by the ongoing upgrade at London Bridge.
In the longer term, the Transport Secretary said he was looking at closer integration between the companies that run the service and the providers of rail infrastructure, Network Rail. I think this is a welcome development as it should stop them passing the buck between each other for service delays.
Equally, he pledged to keep a tight grip on the upgrading of the Thameslink line. When this is completed in 2018 should massively improve the reliability of the service. It should also allow for more fast trains to Borehamwood & Radlett, something for which I have consistently lobbied.
I know that this is of little comfort, particularly in the short term, but they were left in no doubt about the scale and strength of your anger.

Sunscreen Use: Appropriately-applied sunscreen blocks the harmful ultraviolet B rays that trigger skin cancer, but it also blocks many of the pores and skin's production of vitamin D. So people who use sunscreen every day are more likely to be low in vitamin D. (1) However don't ditch the sunscreen: The American Academy of Dermatologists says that daylight publicity to unprotected skin will increase the danger of skin cancer, and that there is no protected level of sunlight exposure that permits you to make vitamin D with out rising skin most cancers risk.
This results in the destruction of parietal cells, achlorhydria, and failure to provide intrinsic issue, resulting in vitamin B12 malabsorption 3 , 5 , Sept. 11 If pernicious anemia is left untreated, it causes vitamin B12 deficiency, leading to megaloblastic anemia and neurological problems, even within the presence of ample dietary consumption of vitamin B12.

In 2012, chief medical officer Sally Davies wrote a letter to GPs urging them to recommend vitamin D dietary supplements to all at-risk groups, writing that a major proportion" of people in the UK most likely have inadequate ranges of vitamin D. In June 2018, researchers from the College of Birmingham's Institute of Metabolism and Techniques Analysis wrote that the demise of a baby from problems of coronary heart failure caused by extreme vitamin D deficiency, and the intense health problems of two others, was just the tip of the iceberg" in vitamin D deficiencies amongst those in danger.

Q: How to use xmltodict to get items out of an xml file I am trying to easily access values from an xml file.
<artikelen>
    <artikel nummer="121">
        ABC123
        <naam>Highlight pen</naam>
        <voorraad>231</voorraad>
        <prijs>0.56</prijs>
    </artikel>
    <artikel nummer="123">
        PQR678
        <naam>Nietmachine</naam>
        <voorraad>587</voorraad>
        <prijs>9.99</prijs>
    </artikel>
..... etc

If i want to acces the value ABC123, how do I get it?
import xmltodict

with open('8_1.html') as fd:
    doc = xmltodict.parse(fd.read())
    print(doc[fd]['code'])

A: Using your example:
import xmltodict

with open('artikelen.xml') as fd:
    doc = xmltodict.parse(fd.read())

If you examine doc, you'll see it's an OrderedDict, ordered by tag:
>>> doc
OrderedDict([('artikelen',
              OrderedDict([('artikel',
                            [OrderedDict([('@nummer', '121'),
                                          ('code', 'ABC123'),
                                          ('naam', 'Highlight pen'),
                                          ('voorraad', '231'),
                                          ('prijs', '0.56')]),
                             OrderedDict([('@nummer', '123'),
                                          ('code', 'PQR678'),
                                          ('naam', 'Nietmachine'),
                                          ('voorraad', '587'),
                                          ('prijs', '9.99')])])]))])

The root node is called artikelen, and there a subnode artikel which is a list of OrderedDict objects, so if you want the code for every article, you would do:
codes = []
for artikel in doc['artikelen']['artikel']:
    codes.append(artikel['code'])

# >>> codes
# ['ABC123', 'PQR678']

If you specifically want the code only when nummer is 121, you could do this:
code = None
for artikel in doc['artikelen']['artikel']:
    if artikel['@nummer'] == '121':
        code = artikel['code']
        break

That said, if you're parsing XML documents and want to search for a specific value like that, I would consider using XPath expressions, which are supported by ElementTree.

A: To read .xml files :
import lxml.etree as ET
root = ET.parse(filename).getroot()
value = root.node1.node2.variable_name.text

A: You can use lxml package using XPath Expression.
from lxml import etree
f = open("8_1.html", "r")
tree = etree.parse(f)
expression = "/artikelen/artikel[1]/code"
l = tree.xpath(expression)
code = next(i.text for i in l)
print code

# ABC123

The thing to notice here is the expression. /artikelen is the root element. /artikel[1] chooses the first artikel element under root(Notice first element is not at index 0). /code is the child element under artikel[1]. You can read more about at lxml and xpath syntax.

A: This is using xml.etree
You can try this:
for artikelobj in root.findall('artikel'):
    print artikelobj.find('code')

if you want to extract a specific code based on the attribute 'nummer' of artikel, then you can try this:
for artikelobj in root.findall('artikel'):
    if artikel.get('nummer') == 121:
        print artikelobj.find('code')

this will print only the code you want.

Income tax : foreign tax credit system : interaction of foreign tax credit provisions with capital gains and capital losses provisions of Part IIIA
This Ruling is designed to clarify in general the interaction of the foreign tax credit provisions of Division 18 of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act (the Assessment Act) with the capital gains and capital losses provisions of Part IIIA of that Act.
2. The matter needs to be considered against the background that -
Part IIIA generally applies in respect of gains and losses realised on disposals of assets acquired on or after 20 September 1985, and provides for the inclusion in the assessable income of a resident taxpayer of a year of income the amount of the "net capital gain" (determined on a worldwide basis) that accrues to the taxpayer in respect of that year.
Prior to the introduction of the general foreign tax credit system (FTCS), with effect from the commencement of the 1987-88 year of income, former paragraph 23(q) of the Assessment Act operated to treat as exempt from income tax (and therefore as excluded from assessable income) most categories of income, or profits or gains of a capital nature, where derived by a resident taxpayer from sources out of Australia and Papua New Guinea and where not exempt from tax in the country of derivation.
Since the commencement of the FTCS, an Australian resident taxpayer has generally been assessable to Australian tax on income from all sources (apart from salary or wages and other income exempted under section 23AF or 23AG), with a credit for foreign tax paid on foreign income being allowed against the Australian tax payable in respect of that foreign income.
Subsection 6AB(1) effectively defines foreign income for purposes of the Assessment Act to mean income derived from sources in a foreign country or foreign countries (according to ordinary concepts of source of income), while subsection 6AB(2) provides for a reference to foreign tax to include, amongst other taxes, a tax imposed by a law of a foreign country upon profits or gains, whether of an income or capital nature.
Subsection 160AE(2) of Division 18 provides, in effect, for a profit of a capital nature derived by a resident taxpayer from a source in a foreign country, hereinafter referred to as a "foreign capital gain", to be treated as foreign income (within the meaning of subsection 6AB(1)) for the purposes of the foreign tax credit provisions of Division 18 providing foreign tax is payable in respect of that gain and it is a gain which is taken into account, pursuant to Part IIIA, in determining the assessable income of the taxpayer for a year of income.
Given the worldwide basis for determining a taxpayer's liability for tax in relation to a "net capital gain" and the basic double tax relief purpose of the FTCS, Part IIIA and the FTCS provisions interact in a way that afford the maximum benefit to a taxpayer by way of capital loss offsets against capital gains and foreign tax credit relief entitlements respectively.
3. Subsection 6AB(1) refers to income (not assessable income) and therefore does not operate to generally require references to foreign income in the Assessment Act to be read as including foreign capital gains. The purpose, therefore, of subsection 160AE(2) is to complement subsection 6AB(1), for foreign tax credit purposes, by operating where -
a resident taxpayer realises a foreign capital gain on the disposal of an asset acquired on or after 20 September 1985;
the whole or a part of that gain is included in the "net capital gain" to be included in the taxpayer's assessable income for the year of income pursuant to the provisions of Part IIIA; and
foreign tax is paid by the taxpayer in respect of the capital gain,
to deem the amount of the foreign capital gain that is so included in assessable income to be foreign income so that double taxation relief is provided with respect to the foreign tax paid on that gain by way of a foreign tax credit under subsection 160AF(1), in place of the exemption that formerly applied under paragraph 23(q).
Determination of foreign tax credit relief in respect of foreign capital gains.
4. It follows that such an amount of a foreign capital gain falls, together with other relevant foreign income derived by a taxpayer, to be treated as the class of income described as "other income" in subsection 160AF(7). A resident taxpayer is thus entitled to a foreign tax credit in relation to such "other income" and attributable foreign taxes, as determined on a worldwide basis, pursuant to subsection 160AF(1).
5. In broad terms, a foreign capital gain realised on disposal of an asset acquired before 20 September 1985, or such a gain realised on disposal of an asset acquired on or after that date in respect of which foreign tax is not payable, is not treated under subsection 160AE(2) as foreign income for the purposes of Division 18. Such a gain does not therefore fall to be aggregated with other relevant foreign income, and foreign capital gains that have suffered foreign tax, when determining a taxpayer's foreign tax credit entitlement (on a worldwide basis) with respect to the class of income described as "other income" in subsection 160AF(7).
6. The references to "foreign income" in Taxation Ruling No. IT 2508 - which deals generally with aggregation of the various classes of income for foreign tax credit purposes and provides for all foreign income, whether or not subject to foreign tax, to be taken into account for those purposes - needs to be read accordingly (i.e. in the light of paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Ruling.)
7. As indicated earlier, a foreign capital gain (or capital loss in respect of the disposal of an asset situated outside Australia) remains to be brought to account for assessment purposes in accordance with the provisions of Part IIIA. This means, for example, that where in a year of income a taxpayer incurs both foreign and domestic capital losses that are completely absorbed by a domestic capital gain derived in the same year of income by the taxpayer, it is only the resultant net capital gain which is included in the taxpayer's assessable income for the relevant year of income in accordance with the provisions of Part IIIA (as indicated later in this Ruling, the foreign capital loss would not be treated as subject to the foreign loss quarantining provisions of the FTCS).
8. It follows that as the amount to be included in a taxpayer's assessable income under Part IIIA is the amount of the worldwide "net capital gain" (as determined under that Part) that accrues to a taxpayer in respect of a year of income, subsection 160AE(2) has to be read as deeming to be foreign income only the whole or the part of any foreign capital gain (or gains), in respect of which foreign tax is payable, that is included in the amount of that "net capital gain" of a resident taxpayer for a year of income.
9. This amount could be greater or smaller than the amount of relevant capital gain (or gains) taken into account for purposes of imposition of the foreign tax. In any event, the foreign tax would in many cases have been imposed on a different basis than that which applies in Australia under Part IIIA with respect to capital gains. Consistent, however, with the approach reflected in paragraph 16 of Taxation Ruling No. IT 2527, the actual amount of foreign tax paid in respect of the relevant foreign capital gain (or gains) is to be taken into account when determining the taxpayer's foreign tax credit entitlement under section 160AF in respect of the deemed foreign income (i.e. the relevant foreign capital gain component of the "net capital gain" which forms part of the taxpayer's assessable income for the year of income).
10. Consistent also with subsection 160AF(3), the Australian tax payable on the amount of that deemed foreign income is calculated by multiplying that amount by the average rate of tax applicable to the taxable income of the taxpayer for the year of income. Simplified examples are given in Appendix A and Appendix B.
11. Those examples and the comments in paragraphs 9 and 10 presuppose that the deemed foreign income constitutes the whole of the class of income in relation to the taxpayer described as "other income" in subsection 160AF(7). However, as indicated earlier in this Ruling, where the taxpayer has derived other foreign income of the same class during the income year, the worldwide basis for determining foreign tax credits would require that foreign income and attributable foreign tax to be taken into account also when determining the taxpayer's foreign tax credit entitlement under section 160AF in relation to that class of income.
12. It follows also from paragraph 8 of this Ruling that situations may arise where the disposal by a resident taxpayer of an asset in a foreign country produces a capital gain which is subject to tax in that country but there is no amount of deemed foreign income pursuant to subsection 160AE(2), and thus no foreign tax credit entitlement under subsection 160AF(1) with respect to the foreign tax paid. This would be the case should the application in relation to the year of income of Part IIIA with respect to that asset disposal (and any other capital gains realised or capital losses incurred by the taxpayer) result in a "net capital loss" for that year for the purposes of that Part.
13. Further examples relating to the operation of the provisions of Part IIIA and Division 18 are at Appendix C and Appendix D.
Ordering of offset of capital losses against capital gains when determining a "net capital gain".
14. As already indicated, the FTCS provisions do not override the operational effect of the provisions of Part IIIA of the Assessment Act, the broad scheme of which is that worldwide capital gains that accrue to a resident taxpayer during a year of income and worldwide capital losses that are incurred during the year for the purposes of that Part are "netted" to arrive at the amount of the "net capital gain" or "net capital loss" of the taxpayer for the year. It follows that a foreign capital gain or foreign capital loss for purposes of Part IIIA is not taken into account for purposes of the foreign loss quarantining provisions of former subsection 51(6), section 79D or section 160AFD of the Assessment Act; those provisions are concerned only with losses arising by reason of an excess of allowable deductions over assessable income derived from a "foreign source", within the special meaning of that expression in subsection 160AFD(7), and the offsetting of such losses against income derived in a subsequent year of income from such a "foreign source" from a business or other income-producing activity.
15. Accordingly, where a resident taxpayer disposes of an asset situated outside Australia and incurs in a year of income a foreign capital loss for purposes of Part IIIA, that amount is available under that Part, together with any domestic capital loss, for offset against any worldwide capital gains derived by the taxpayer in that year when determining the "net capital gain" of the taxpayer for the year. If no such capital gains have been derived, or a "net capital loss" otherwise results, the amount of that loss for the year (determined on a worldwide basis) is available to be carried forward to the next succeeding year of income for the purpose of calculating the taxpayer's "net capital gain" or "net capital loss" for that year.
16. Given that situation, it would be appropriate for priority to be given, when determining the "net capital gain" to be included in a taxpayer's assessable income (or the "net capital loss" of the taxpayer) for a year of income under Part IIIA, to ensuring maximum foreign tax credit relief is available to the taxpayer.
17. Accordingly, any foreign and/or Australian "sourced" capital losses (of the same year of income or available for carry forward from previous years pursuant to Part IIIA) are to be offset against the sum of Australian "sourced" capital gains and foreign capital gains in respect of which no foreign tax is paid, with only the excess (if any) being offset against foreign capital gains subject to foreign tax. This approach will afford maximum foreign tax credit relief with respect to the latter gains - see example at Appendix E. It is noted that this approach is broadly consistent with the design under the FTCS of the domestic carry forward loss election provisions of subsections 80(2B) and (2C) of the Assessment Act.

The gain realised on the sale of the domestic asset is calculated in accordance with Part IIIA.
The gain realised on the sale of the foreign asset is also calculated for Australian tax assessment purposes in accordance with Part IIIA, and this amount is less than the gain of $10,000 taken into account in country X.
The "net capital gain" for Australian tax purposes is included in the taxpayer's assessable income by virtue of sections 160ZC and 160Z0.
The Australian tax payable is calculated (at 1989-90 rates) using the formula A + B where
A = tax at ordinary resident rates on $15,000 (the reduced taxable income) $2,079
and B
= 5 * [(tax at ordinary resident rates on a taxable income of $15,000 + 20% of $13,000) - A]
= 5 * [(tax at ordinary resident rates on $17,600) - A]
= 5 * [$2,625 - $2,079]
= 5 * [546]
Australian tax payable $4,809
The Medicare levy has not been taken into account for the purposes of this example.
The FTC entitlement is the lesser of the foreign tax paid ($1,600) and the Australian tax payable in respect of the foreign capital gain included in assessable net capital gain
($7,000 * 0.17 [average rate of Australian tax payable]) = $1,190.
EXAMPLE - Resident company taxpayer
LESS Deductions allowable under country X's law $ 3,000
Net foreign gain on foreign asset X $17,000
FOREIGN COUNTRY Y (NIL ASSESSMENT)
Purchase price of foreign asset Y $15,000
Sale price of foreign asset Y $20,000
Gain on sale of foreign asset Y $ 5,000
Foreign country Y does not impose tax on capital gains made on disposals of assets.
Product sales $40,000 $40,000
Gain on disposal of domestic asset (1) $10,000
Gain on disposal of :
. foreign asset X (2) $14,000
. foreign asset Y (2) $ 4,000
Deductions allowable in respect of product sales $20,000
Taxable income $48,000
Australian tax 39% $18,720
FTC entitlement (3) $ 5,100
Net Australian tax payable $13,620
The gains realised on the sale of foreign assets X and calculated for Australian tax assessment purposes in accordance with Part IIIA, are less than the gains of $20,000 and $5,000 taken into account in countries X and Y respectively.
The FTC entitlement is the lesser of the foreign tax paid ($5,100) and the Australian tax payable in respect of the foreign capital gain calculated in accordance with Part IIIA made on the disposal of foreign asset X and included in assessable income
($14,000 * 0.39) = $5,460.
Note that because no foreign tax is payable in foreign country Y with respect to the gain on sale of foreign asset Y, that gain is not deemed by subsection 160AE(2) to be foreign income for purposes of Division 18 and does not therefore enter into the FTC entitlement calculation.
EXAMPLE A resident company taxpayer in a year of income derives a foreign capital gain that is subject to foreign tax, a foreign capital loss, "interest income" as defined in subsection 160AE(3) and contract fees from its Australian operations.
FOREIGN COUNTRY E ASSESSMENT
Purchase price of foreign asset E $20,000
Sale price of foreign asset E $90,000
Gain on sale of foreign asset E $70,000
Deductions allowable under Country E's law $5,000
Net foreign gain on foreign asset E $65,000
Foreign capital gains tax paid (20%) $13,000
Interest income $10,000
Foreign income tax paid (10%) $ 1,000
FOREIGN COUNTRY F ASSESSMENT
Purchase price of foreign asset F $80,000
Sale price of foreign asset F $40,000
Net loss on sale of foreign asset F ($40,000)
Contract fees $100,000 $100,000
Net Capital gain (1) $ 25,000
Interest income $ 10,000 $ 35,000
Gross assessable income $135,000
Deductions allowable in respect of contract fees $35,000
Taxable income $100,000
Australian tax (39%) $ 39,000
Less FTC (2) $ 10,750
Net Australian tax payable $ 18,250
The net capital gain to be included in assessable income is calculated in accordance with the provisions of Part IIIA. (For ease of illustration in this example, the foreign capital gain and loss have been treated as being the same amounts for those purposes as the net amounts taken into account in the foreign countries). Accordingly, the capital gain made on the disposal of foreign asset E ($65,000) is reduced by the capital loss incurred on the disposal of foreign asset F ($40,000) resulting in a net capital gain of $25,000 being included in assessable income. The amount of this net capital gain relates solely to the foreign capital gain in respect of which foreign tax has been paid. The whole amount of the net capital gain qualifies, therefore, to be treated as foreign income for foreign tax credit purposes pursuant to subsection 160AE(2).
Pursuant to subsection 160AF(7), the amount of the net capital gain (deemed by subsection 160AE(2) to be foreign income) and the amount of the interest income are treated as separate classes of foreign income for the purposes of determining the taxpayer's foreign tax credit entitlement under subsection 160AF(1). Accordingly, a separate foreign tax credit is applicable in relation to each of those classes of foreign income.
The FTC entitlement in relation to each class of foreign income is the lesser of the sum of the Australian tax payable on the amount included in assessable income and the foreign tax paid, viz:
Net capital gain
- Australian tax payable (25,000 * 0.39) $9,750
- Foreign tax paid $13,000
FTC = $9,750
. Interest income
- Australian tax payable (10,000 * .39) $3,900
- Foreign tax paid $1,000
Accordingly, the total FTC allowable is $9,750 + $1000 = $10,750
EXAMPLE A resident company taxpayer in a year of income disposes of a foreign asset resulting in the realisation of a foreign capital gain that is subject to foreign tax. However, for Australian assessment purposes the disposal of the foreign asset results in a capital loss. No other foreign sourced income is derived but the taxpayer also derives a domestic sourced capital gain from the disposal of an Australian asset. The taxpayer also derives management fees from its Australian operations.
FOREIGN COUNTRY D ASSESSMENT
Purchase price of foreign asset D $15,000
Sale price of foreign asset D $20,000
Gain on sale of foreign asset D $ 5,000
Deductions allowable under country D's laws $ 2,000
Net foreign gain on foreign asset D $3,000
Foreign tax paid (30%) $ 900
Management fees $20,000 $20,000
Loss on disposal of foreign asset D (2) ($1,000)
"Net capital gain" $ 9,000
Deductions allowable in respect of management fees $ 5,000
Australian tax payable (39%) (3) $ 9,360
The loss incurred on the sale of foreign asset D is calculated for Australian tax assessment purposes in accordance with Part IIIA. In this example, even though a gain was realised on the disposal of foreign asset D under foreign country D's laws, for Australian assessment purposes the disposal resulted in a capital loss due to the effects of indexation of the cost base of the asset and the allowance under Australia's law of a different quantum of incidental expenses deductions relating to its disposal.
In this example, the taxpayer is not entitled to any foreign tax credit relief in relation to the foreign tax paid with respect to the foreign gain realised on the disposal of asset D because, for Australian assessment purposes, the disposal of foreign asset D resulted in the realisation of a capital loss. Accordingly, no part of the foreign capital gain in respect of which foreign tax has been paid was included in the net capital gain which formed part of the assessable income. It therefore follows that subsection 160AE(2) is not called into operation.
EXAMPLE - Resident company taxpayer The taxpayer realises the following capital gains and losses during the income year:
Purchase price of foreign asset D $ 50,000
Sale price of foreign asset D $200,000
Gain on sale of foreign asset D $150,000
Deductions allowable under country D's laws $ 20,000
Net foreign gain on foreign asset D $130,000
Foreign tax payable (30%) $ 39,000
FOREIGN COUNTRY E (NIL ASSESSMENT)
Purchase price of foreign asset E $ 50,000
Sale price of foreign asset E $ 65,000
Gain on sale of foreign asset E $ 15,000
Foreign country E does not impose tax on capital gains made on disposals of assets.
FOREIGN COUNTRY F
Purchase price of foreign asset F $ 90,000
Sale price of foreign asset F $ 50,000
Loss on sale of foreign asset F $(40,000)
Indexed cost base of asset G $ 90,000
Sale price of asset G $150,000
Gain on sale of asset G $ 60,000 *
Reduced cost base of asset H $ 65,000
Sale price of asset H $ 25,000
Loss on sale of asset H $(40,000)*
* No expenses were incurred in relation to the holding or disposal of the assets.
Machinery sales $ 60,000 $ 60,000
"Net capital gain"(1) $125,000 $125,000
Deductions allowable in respect of machinery sales $ 20,000
Australian tax 39% $ 64,350
FTC entitlement (2) $ 39,000
(1) The "Net capital gain" is calculated as follows:
Gain on sale of foreign asset D (in respect of which foreign tax has been paid) $130,000
LESS/ADD
Gain on sale of foreign asset E (in respect of which no foreign tax has been paid) $ 15,000
Gain on sale of Australian asset G $ 60,000 $ 75,000
Loss on sale of foreign asset F $ 40,000
Loss on sale of Australian asset H $ 40,000 ($80,000) ($ 5,000)
Net Capital Gain $125,000
The net capital gain has been calculated so as to ensure maximum allowable foreign tax credit relief to the taxpayer. This is achieved by adding the domestic sourced capital loss and the foreign sourced capital loss together and deducting this amount from firstly, the sum of the domestic sourced capital gain and the foreign sourced capital gain in respect of which NO foreign tax has been paid and secondly, as this results in a capital loss, from the foreign sourced capital gain in respect of which foreign tax has been paid.
Foreign source capital gains and capital losses for Australian assessment purposes are calculated in accordance with Part IIIA. However, for ease of illustration, in this example the foreign capital gains and losses have been treated as being the same for those purposes as the amounts taken into account in the foreign countries.
(2) In this example the amount of the "net capital gain" included in the taxpayer's assessable income relates solely to the foreign capital gain in respect of which foreign tax has been paid. The whole amount qualifies, therefore, to be treated as foreign income for foreign tax credit purposes pursuant to subsection 160AE(2).
Accordingly, the taxpayer is entitled to a credit for the lesser of the foreign tax paid ($39,000) and the Australian tax payable in respect of the foreign capital gain that is included in assessable income
($125,000 * 0.39) = $48,750.

In 2014, the provincial government passed legislation that will terminate all Land Use Contracts on June 30, 2024.
In this legislation, municipalities were also given the ability to terminate Land Use Contracts prior to 2024. On February 23, 2017, Victoria Council directed staff to initiate a process for early termination of Land Use Contracts found throughout the City (approximately 42 in total).
What is a Land Use Contract?
Land Use Contracts were used as a regulatory tool in place of zoning in the 1970s. The contracts generally addressed development issues that zoning could not, making zoning irrelevant.
Why is the City terminating Land Use Contracts now?
A number of Land Use Contracts no longer align with City policy, such as regulations for liquor licences, cannabis dispensaries and casinos. This will fix inconsistencies between the underlying zoning and the Official Community Plan.
What happens when the Land Use Contracts are terminated?
In most cases, once the Land Use Contracts are terminated, the underlying zoning will apply to the properties. In a few instances, if the underlying zoning does not align with the current use, the use and/or structure may be considered legal non-conforming. If the underlying zoning is inconsistent with the Official Community Plan, Council may consider rezoning the property.
Who will pay for the rezonings?
The process is City initiated and rezonings will only occur when there are discrepancies between the current zoning and City policy. Property owners will not incur any costs unless they request to rezone to a district not recommended by staff or seek a variance for an extension.
Does the City of Victoria require authorization from property owners for the Land Use Contract to be terminated?
No, provincial legislation enacted in 2014 allows the City to terminate land use contract without authorization from the landowner.
Will the City notify property owners if their Land Use Contract is proposed for termination?
Yes, prior to the Public Hearing the City of Victoria will notify all property owners and tenants within the land use contract as well as owners and occupiers of property within 100 metres of the land use contract boundaries. A notice will also be published in the local newspaper.
If Council approves the Land Use Contract termination, when does the underlying zoning take effect?
The Land Use Contract termination bylaws and the new zoning come into effect one year after they are adopted. During this year the rules and regulations of the Land Use Contract that is being terminated will continue to apply.
Where can I get more information on the Provincial legislation affecting Land Use Contracts?
Division 16 – Discharge and Termination of Land Use Contracts of the Local Government Act outlines the regulations for the early termination of Land Use Contracts.
Is it possible to extend the terms of a land use contract?
Yes, property owners can apply to the Board of Variance for an exemption if the termination of the Land Use Contract would cause undue hardship. Successful applications can extend the terms of the Land Use Contract up to June 30, 2024.
What does this mean for development on my property?
If existing uses and lawfully built structures do not comply with the underlying zoning, they will have legal non-conforming status, which means they will be allowed to continue. Structures and uses that are not currently in existence must comply with the zoning regulation.

A January 18th, 2018 article from the Washington Post describes recent medical research where head injuries without concussion symptoms can cause brain damage.
This is a new finding and an important distinction. The terms "concussion" and "TBI" (traumatic brain injury) often get mixed together. The medical thinking has been that when a person gets hit in the head, a significant impact will cause a concussion. Patients usually complain of immediate dizziness, confusion, headaches, and seemed dazed. They often perform poorly on immediate tests of brain function.
Of course, most of these people eventually return to normal. But the initial diagnosis of concussion has been important at the sidelines of football games and in emergency rooms. These patients need to be followed through to recovery. Some of these individuals develop chronic symptoms, and even a neuro-degenerative disease of the brain called CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy).
This new research from Boston University now shows that even more minor head injuries, those that don't even cause concussions, can do long-term brain damage. This has been demonstrated in teenagers and in a mouse experimental model.
I have previously discussed the importance of concussion, TBI, and CTE. This new information shows that a person doesn't need to have a concussion to develop brain damage.
As an ophthalmologist who focuses on TBI this is important clinical information. I used to believe a person needed to first experience a concussion to have any concern about long-term brain injury. As I have previously discussed, most patients with concussion have visual difficulty.
As an ophthalmologist, I now need to be concerned about any patient who experiences head trauma. If long-term brain injury occurs, these individuals will usually have visual difficulty.
I see many head injury patients after motor vehicle accidents who develop visual problems. Some of these patients never complained of acute symptoms of a concussion. Now, such patients must be thoroughly evaluated even months or years after the initial accident or head trauma. Chronic brain damage and its visual manifestations can remain hidden.
The world of head injuries is changing, and current research is raising new red flags.

Diversity and computing – we have a problem
Does IT have a diversity problem?
Diversity is an issue that goes straight to the bottom line. The IT industry uniquely can do something about diversity, and turn it to it's advantage.
Most IT employers complain about a shortage of qualified staff and employers in Northern Ireland aren't any different.
A few weeks ago, I met a large Northern Ireland IT company that told me there are 1,000 Java vacancies here alone.
Java developers in Northern Ireland command salaries of £ 26,000 – £ 50,000 per year.
Put it another way, the local economy is losing at least £26,000,000 a year.
In the UK generally, IT makes up 4% of the total work force and in Northern Ireland its about 1% and growing.
But here are three statistics about the IT workforce that are interesting and troubling. They show that diversity is an issue. Put quite simply, as a proportion of the total IT workforce, men are over represented.
17% of the IT workforce is female. (Northern Ireland it's 18%)
This number has been static for some time and its hard to see why.
Is it the issues we normally associate with female participation in the workforce such as working mums and the need for flexibility?
Or maybe it's the unusual hours that we tend to work. As an industry we should be better than most at supporting flexible working.
Women played a very important role in the history of IT, and we really should be doing better. @bcswomen
History of women in computing and 6 female computing pioneers
9% of the UK IT workforce is disabled, Northern Ireland has the lowest level of representation, 3%
This is bad enough, but salaries are 13% lower.
Maybe disabled professionals tend to work in the third sector where salaries are probably not as generous,
But the industry is ignoring an important source of skilled staff.
About 25% of the work force in South West and East England are over 50 and that drops to 13% in Northern Ireland (me!!) and London
The IT industry is still a young and growing industry, so maybe its inevitable that over 50's seem to be under represented.
The modern IT industry in Northern Ireland is only 15 or 20 years old.
Up until then we exported most of our talent.
Surely this situation will change over time.
