| Property tax work not even started - Lenihan Posted: 07 Jul 2010 05:12 PM PDT The Irish Times - Thursday, July 8, 2010 HARRY McGEE Political Correspondent THE GOVERNMENT has yet to carry out preliminary work that would allow it to introduce a property tax in the next budget, Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan has told Fianna Fáil colleagues. At this week's parliamentary party meeting, Mr Lenihan said that he was not ruling anything in or out for the budget. However, he told party TDs and Senators that a huge amount of preliminary work would need to be done in order to introduce a property tax on a principal home, and that that preliminary work had not even started. The comments were taken by Fianna Fáil colleagues as an indication by Mr Lenihan that he will turn his attention in the budget to water charges and other service charges rather than a property tax. A department spokesman said last night that no decision on any taxes had yet been taken. Dublin South East TD Chris Andrews had tabled a motion opposing the property tax for the meeting. Last night he said that following Mr Lenihan's comments he now believed that a property tax would not be brought in next December, nor indeed in 2011. "Effectively, it's just not happening," said Mr Andrews. "I don't think it's going to be runner this year. If the Government lasts until 2012, it will not be introduced in a budget only a couple of months before a general election." The motion's wording was: "Given the collapse in property values nationally and the serious difficulties that many people are experiencing in meeting repayments, the Government must give a commitment that no tax on family homes be introduced in December's Budget." The issue will be discussed again at a Fianna Fáil finance committee next week. Mr Andrews's motion was also signed by Tom Kitt, Cyprian Brady, Thomas Byrne, Charlie O'Connor and Timmy Dooley. East Galway TD, Michael Kitt said many colleagues were opposed to any tax on the home which would impose further hardship on those who had lost jobs or who had bought at the top of the property market.

| Posted: 07 Jul 2010 09:38 PM PDT How much tax will i have to pay on rental income from an investment property if I'm a non-resident? Q. I am a Malaysian and non-resident of Australia. My wife and I have bought an apartment in Sydney for investment purposes. It is currently generating a net annual rental income of about $18,000. Do we have to pay taxes under Australian laws, and if so, are we entitled to the tax deductions mentioned in your article?
A. As the income will be earned in Australia tax is payable on the net rental income produced by the apartment. You will get the benefit of the tax deductions I mentioned in the article including interest, rates, agent's fees, insurance and depreciation. As a non-resident you will pay tax at 29 per cent on net rental income up to $35,000 and then 30 per cent on income up to $80,000.

| Two county employees, including real property tax director, charged by sheriff's office Posted: 07 Jul 2010 02:02 PM PDT Cayuga County Real Property Tax Services Director Alan Kozlowski and one of his employees were arrested Wednesday by the Cayuga County Sheriff's Office for their alleged involvement in illegal payments for data input. Kozlowski, 62, of Auburn, and Tammy Morehouse Schramm, 36, of Weedsport, each face two misdemeanor charges of receiving unlawful gratuities after a two-week investigation by the sheriff's office determined they accepted payment for work while on county time, according to a news release from the sheriff's office. "As public servants, they're not allowed to accept payment for what they're supposed to be doing," said District Attorney Jon Budelmann. Kozlowski is accused of twice arranging for a town assessor to pay Schramm to input the assessor's assessment data into the county's computer system during her work day with the county, according to the sheriff's office. Findings from the sheriff's investigation do not suggest Kozlowski accepted any money. Kozlowski, who earns $59,956, has been on paid leave since June 11. Schramm is accused of accepting cash payments from the assessor on April 8 and April 27. Schramm works for the county as a supervising real property tax specialist. The sheriff's report says another employee was offered the same arrangement, but declined. Authorities have not identified the town assessor involved in the incident. The amount of money Schramm received on each occasion has also been withheld, but is a "relatively small amount," said Lt. Joseph Weeks, of sheriff's office. County Administrator Thomas Squires and Chair of the Legislature Peter Tortorici did not return calls for comment Wednesday. The investigation is ongoing and the sheriff has asked anyone with information to call Lt. Weeks, 253-3902. The Citizen reported today that the case involving Kozlowski had been placed with the Sheriff's Office.
