Book Description

This edition in the IFA Seminar Series contains the lectures of a seminar held in Cancun, Mexico in 1992 during the 46th Congress of the International Fiscal Association on the theory and practice of advance ruling in the fiscal sphere. Advance ruling may be defined as `a decision regarding the consequences of a proposed transaction, given by the competent authority and binding upon that authority'. The subject, applied to the field of taxation, is regarded by different authors from the perspectives of France, Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden and the USA. The situation with respect to the practice and legality of advance ruling in fiscal matters differs in the various countries. In some countries the advance settlement of tax questions is more common than in others. In the Netherlands, for example, there is a long standing tradition of the advance settlement of tax questions creating a great deal of certainty about the tax consequences of certain commercial activities long before the assessment is actually made. Despite the differences existing in the USA, France, The Netherlands, Germany and Sweden with regard to advance ruling in tax matters a few general characteristics can be given. In all the countries in question the tax payer does not, in all cases, have a right to an Advance Ruling, but in case he does obtain one, it is binding upon the tax authorities. Finally the tax payer in all the countries concerned can renounce the right to rely on an Advance Ruling.

Book Description

Ten specialists in the fields of tax law and public finance from Japan, the Netherlands, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Vietnam recently gathered in Leiden, the Netherlands to present papers and give lectures on tax law in those countries for the symposium `Tax Law in East and Southeast Asia Towards the 21st Century.' The meeting fostered the exchange of information on recent reforms of tax systems, with participants examining both differences and similarities and discussing further planned or necessary reforms for each country in East and Southeast Asia on the threshold of the 21st century. The papers collected in this volume were originally prepared for the conference. After the conference, contributors revised their papers on the basis of the discussions conducted. Giving due consideration to the comparison of tax systems in these areas, these revised papers emphasise themes such as tax structure, especially that of direct and indirect taxes; intergovernmental fiscal relationships; and recent reforms to and problems of tax systems. The result: an extremely useful and informative work which covers ground rarely covered before. Legal and other tax practitioners as well as academics will find this volume of great value.

Book Description

This work explores the main distortions arising from the economic double taxation of distributed profits in three member states of the European Union: Portugal, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. The author analyses the tax implications of this form of double taxation from a legal point of view. To this end, Taxing Corporate Profits in the EU examines both domestic laws and international tax treaties covering inward and outward investment and dividend income tax burdens regarding those taxes that directly influence the effective dividend income tax rate. The author assesses the results of this analysis in light of the tax principles of neutrality; efficiency; non-discrimination under EU law; and the objectives of fair distribution of revenue between member states, simplicity, and prevention of tax evasion. The multi-faceted conclusion: + Well-accepted tax principles, such as the principles of worldwide taxation and vertical equity, operate less efficiently within the overall tax system. + Instead, the source principle is gaining momentum, with simplicity and neutrality aims prevailing over distributional criteria. + The principle of capital import neutrality is of growing importance as compared with the principle of capital export neutrality. + Problems remain with regard to the balance between debt financing and equity financing, unless an exemption system is in place, further complicated by the more favourable treatment given to capital gains. + Neither classical nor imputation systems provide a satisfactory answer to these problems. Its comprehensive, comparative analysis makes Taxing Corporate Profits in the EU a valuable research work for academics and practitioners in the field.

Book Description

Corporate and tax laws in Europe keep changing, largely as a result of European Commission initiatives. These changes provide protection to creditors and investors, but also lead to a lack of harmonisation. Significant differences between the national systems continue, often the result of historical or cultural differences between the European countries. Netherlands corporate law represents the traditional Dutch Delta Model for corporate law but is also a particular expression of a modern, industrialised country. Netherlands tax law reflects its friendly attitude toward Netherlands-based multinationals and the investment-friendly attitude of the administration. This work provides an in-depth look at Netherlands corporate law. Topics discussed include: + unique qualities of Netherlands corporate law, + selecting a business organisational form, + types of corporations, + corporate litigation, + duties of board members, + taxation of companies, and + mergers and acquisitions. Corporate Law and Practice of the Netherlands is the only detailed, English-language treatise focusing specifically on Dutch corporate law, making it an unmatched resource for investors, businesspeople, professional advisors, and academics.

Book Description

The guru of the Guerrilla Marketing series, which has sold more than one million copies, shows small business owners how to cut through the clutter of new information with simple, powerful ideas that customers will find irresistible. Today, with more than four thousand marketing messages assailing consumers daily, it is more important than ever to create an original, appealing, and memorable message. Marketer extraordinaire Jay Conrad Levinson shows readers how to craft such messages using memes -- simple symbols that represent complex ideas. Memes can be words, such as Lean Cuisine or "Remember the Alamo," or they can be images, such as the Red Cross or Betty Crocker. They can even be actions, like drenching a victorious coach with a barrelful of Gatorade. The best memes can propel a product or service to the pinnacle of success. As no other book has done before, GUERILLA CREATIVITY shows how even someone who doesn't consider himself creative can make memes that work. Using a variety of examples of memes both good and bad, Levinson guides readers step by step through the process of fashioning marketing materials that result in increased sales, savings, market share, and profits. Along the way he reveals the fifty reasons people buy things, the ten biggest marketing myths, ways to make your message instill hope, surprise, and urgency, and many more wise, surprising notions that readers can readily translate into profits.

like so not worth it.......2002-09-05

Okay so my friend gave me this book because she knew I wall like into starting my own web business but I like didn't know where to start and then I knew that I needed help but this book kinda sucked because it wasn't really relevant. So this other friend gave me this book Guerrilla PR Wired. Now, this was the book. It had everything I needed and it was so totally cool that I couldn't really figure out why no one else had read it yet. Like everyone is so missing out if they don't use this book because it has everything you need including how to do everything you want and not go broke.

Disruption, Attention, The Tipping Point and the Meme.......2002-05-28

I read this book and wrote this review from the creative POV.

If you happen to have read Jean-Marie Dru's Disruption, Ken Sacharin's Attention! and Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point, you should read this one too.

Jay is right. Many of the creative people working in advertising agencies are still living in dreams. They should wake up.

Although it says it's a marketing book, I think it's a perfect one and a must read for all advertising people, especially the so called creative.

All along we know how to find the USP, how to fix the positioning and how to differentiate, but most of the time we failed to manage what to communicate or what to achieve.
What worst is that, don't know why, we have the mentality of doing ads equal to having fun. We just are not business-minded or serious enough in this tough yet fastest changing business world!

Simply put, meme is great idea. It has the power to use the easiest understanding way to convey the most complicated message and leave a long lasting impact to change the consumer mind to love and buy your product or service. May it be a symbol, a slogan, a jingle or an action, it can be and have to be used through different disciplines. The ultimate benefit of meme is creating profits.

By reading this book we can learn what is meme, how to create it and conquer it.

To a certain extend, this book is indeed a meme in today marketing industry.

Become a real "meme" machine!.......2002-05-05

Marketing guru Levinson declares all-out guerilla warfare on cheesy, ineffective, downright bad advertising and marketing with this book on a marketing approach that could transform the marketplace.

While the "memes" concept has been around for some time, Levinson is one of the first to apply and evaluate the concept in the marketing arena. And, as the Godfather of guerilla marketing -- with it's emphasis on low- and no-cost techniques -- Levinson gives readers a well-thought, and reasonably documented analysis of how a single powerful meme can propel a business or product to the public eye, generating business (and more importantly, REVENUE) almost without effort.

He also provides many examples of memes that work, tells why they work, and then shows readers how they can get started creating their own memes.

An engaging, easily read book, GUERILLA CREATIVITY is one of Levinson's best yet with little fluff [a fun, but overlong comparison of marketing & seduction] and a ton of useful information [especially on generating and developing ideas]. This is a must-have book for anyone involved in marketing or business development.

Required reading for business owners.......2001-10-18

There are two reasons to read Guerrilla Creativity. One is to become familiar with a term that will undoubtedly grow in importance during the coming years. Meme is a deceptively simple word that, when successfully employed, can jumpstart your business's visibility from obscurity to front-of-mind awareness. In his typical conversational writing fashion, Jay Conrad Levinson describes the steps you should take to create a meme for your business, one that will instantly communicate the essence of your business and the benefits it offers. Your understanding of the concept is enhanced by the numerous examples included.

Equally important, however, Guerrilla Creativity provides a context for using memes. So you not only learn how to create a meme, you learn how and when to put it to work in a variety of media.

If it's been a while since you've read Jay's Guerrilla Marketing, you'll find this book not only breaks new ground but provides a concise, highly accessible overview of the principle tenets of Guerrilla Marketing--the marketing that has contributed so much to so many businesses, small and large alike. In terms of immediate usability, few books offer as much immediately usable books as Jay Conrad Levinson's Guerrilla Marketing series. The series contains no short-lived CEO ego, just concise, useful informations that continues to be valid, decade after decade.

Memetic Branding.......2001-10-10

Please realize, this book will be of limited interest to traditional memeticists. Levinson's use of the word "meme" is not a traditional one. Levinson defines a meme as a self-explanatory symbol, using words, action, sounds, or picture that communicates an entire idea. If you are a marketer, or interested in persuasion, this book is a great read.

At first, I disliked Levinsonýs repeated use of his new term Guerilla creativity, which also happens to be the name of his soon to be published book. I grew to recognize that for the purposes of his book, Levinson needed a new word. Creativity is a vast subject . Levinson needed a notion separate from the general word "creativity." "Guerilla Creativity" is intended to be persuasive. Levinson explains, "Creativity has often been defined as the combining of two or more elements that have never before been combined. Guerrilla creativity embraces this definition but carries it further to actually cause human beings to change their minds to the point where they want to purchase what you are offering to sell." This is the heart of what I try and do daily as a professional marketer.

I read a lot of business books. Most of the time, I hear a different perspective and have a couple nods of appreciation at how an author articulated a familiar scenario. Occasionally, I come across a book that empowers me to see structure where I hadnýt seen anything before. I was exhilarated reading Malcolm Gladwellýs The Tipping and have since adopted seeing certain targets as extraordinary consumers who also have the ability to serve as Mavens, Connectors or Salesmen. If you havenýt read Gladwell, you have a fascinating experience available to you. Some books have the capacity to unfurl new paradigms in readers. GUERILLA CREATIVITY is one such book. Levinson introduces the reader to the word "meme" and introduces the field of memetics as it relates to marketing communications.

This is a much-needed discourse. As opposed to pointing out all the elements Iýve enjoyed and appreciated in GUERILLA CREATIVITY suffice it to say that after reading the first 20 pages of Levinsonýs text, I was able to improve my business presentation on memetics. If you have read this far in my review, you should buy the book.

Book Description

This is a love story. It tells of an extraordinary epistolary relationship between Hugo Wolf, one of the greatest masters of the German art song, whose dedication to the poetic spirit of his music was equaled only by Franz Schubert and Robert Schumann, and Melanie Köchert, the wife of a prominent Viennese jeweler with whom Wolf shared a lifelong emotional, spiritual, and artistic bond.

Wolf's letters to Köchert-he wrote 245 between 1887 and 1899-were composed during a period of almost unprecedented cultural upheaval in Europe, in the shadow of Vienna during the era of Freud, Mahler, and Klimt. They reveal Wolf at his most optimistic, celebrating his concert successes and the solitude he believed was so precious to his ability to compose. They follow Wolf through times of overwhelming despair, when his musical failures left him profoundly alienated, overcome, as he revealed to Köchert, "by a feeling of unspeakable emptiness and desolation." And they follow Wolf as he struggled to compose the 250 astounding art songs that are his creative legacy, and his almost simultaneous descent into madness.

Hugo Wolf: Letters to Melanie Köchert, sensitively translated by Wolf scholar and interpreter Louise McClelland Urban, is a literary and musical even of the highest order.

Lackluster.......1999-10-03

Although there are some interesting details in the book, it failed to hold my interest, as I thought the author got a little too thorough in her description of what took place in Lyon.

What I'll grant her is that, toward the end, when Barbie is in Bolivia, the story gets interesting. It gets even better when he is extradited to France, where justice catches up with him.
