People who are really interested to become financially responsible citizens will be glad to learn about some financial tricks that will help them to achieve their goals. Tips to save dollars Here are some tips that will help a s to raise a good amount of money as savings: a) Banks - Financial institutions like banks or credit unions are considered as some of the most secure places to save money and grow an emergency fund. As a result of the Great Depression of 2008, the US government has hiked the amount of coverage for bank accounts held by the citizens. The bank security money has now been raised to $250,000 for every individual account holder. b) Internet banking - People can take advantage of the web-based services offered by the banks.

http://news.bpholdingsmngt.de/how-can-i-lower-my-taxes/ bp holdings, bally price holdings news Income from investments… The income you earn from investments is added to your income from all other sources. As a result, each additional dollar of investment income is taxed at the highest rate applicable to your total income. If for example you know that you make high income this year and your income is expected to drop next year, it very well makes sense to defer the sale of your investments to the year when your marginal tax rate will be lower. Pension plan and other payments… The same can be said about taking money out of your pension plan (401K, IRA, etc.). Taking a lump sum out of your pension plan can easily move you to higher tax bracket; therefore, if you have the option to take your lump sum later in a year when your total annual income is lower, it may impact your tax liability significantly and positively. Income from reinvestments… Another example is the taxation of income from reinvestments. If a couple (filing separately) has investments in the name of the higher-income-earning spouse, then the investment income is likely to be taxed at a higher rate than it really needs to be. So called Income on Income tax strategy can be used to reduce the tax rate which is used to tax income from reinvestments. If you earn income and transfer it to your spouse, you as the transferring spouse will have to tax it. If this income generates some income while it is in your spouse's hands, the attribution rules assign this income to the transferring spouse for taxation purposes. The transferring spouse has to pay taxes in this income. However, the good news is that this income becomes the capital of the spouse receiving it and can be reinvested in the receiving spouse's name. The income earned on this reinvested income (that is the Income on Income) is not attributed back to the transferring spouse. The spouse being in the lower tax bracket will tax this incom

Scammed BP Holdings What to do so you don't get taken by common work at home job scams: Internet ScamBusters #62 Today we'll focus on Part 2 of our series on home-based business scams and work-at-home scams. If you missed Part 1 in last month's issue on the Top 10 scams of this type 10 Tips on Avoiding Work At Home and Home Based Business Scams 1. Never, NEVER pay for the chance to work! This is the cardinal rule. You should treat working at home just like you would treat working for an employer at their place of business. If you were going for a job interview in the 'real world,' how would you react if the interviewer asked you to pay $50 or $100 to land the job, for starter materials, or for a 'good faith' payment to make sure you were serious about the business? You'd think it was absurd. No legitimate company charges employees a fee for a job. Whenever you're asked to pay for the chance at a job, or information about work-from-home jobs, you know it's a scam. Home-based businesses, on the other hand, may require start-up costs to cover investments, materials, franchises, or other items. As we state in the next step, check things out before you pay anything. 2. Check out the business before you pay anything. Have you heard of the business that's soliciting your money? If not, check them out carefully. Make sure they have a physical address and a phone number. Call to see if it's a real phone number. Do a search on http://www.Google.com to see if you can find any positive or negative comments. Check references carefully. Some warning signs of scammer companies: - They use free Web hosting services (such as Tripod or Geocities). - They use free Web email services (such as Yahoo! Mail or Hotmail). - They use Post Office boxes for mailings and don't disclose their real addresses. - They won't give you a telephone number where you can contact them. 3. Use your credit card to make purchases. This sounds counter-intuitive, but if you are going to

Today's generation is entirely dependent on credit cards and they even use it for investment purposes. If you too are someone who uses credit cards for investment, you should exercise total control on them because there are too many chances of them getting misused. The value of the credit card can easily be used to be converted to cash with which you can start off with a new account or make changes in the existing account. The cost that you need to pay for credit cards will be above the average return of bonds and stocks. Here are some steps that you may take to invest with credit cards. Apply for the credit cards: The first step to take is to apply for a credit card and it would certainly be better if you could choose one with a low introductory fee. You might also make sure that the ability to make cash advance payments is also allowed. The cash advances will always result in interest charges irrespective of the balance of the card. Create a brokerage account: Then you might open a brokerage account, the online one in which the fees and the minimum account limitations are low enough. You can even consider opening a margin account only when you want to use the money that you're borrowing from your credit card. You should always remember that if you open a margin account and the account value depreciates, you'll have additional funds within it. Transfer money to the brokerage account: It isn't possible to trade the account until your check has been cleared by the brokerage account. Ensure that you use margin only when the security has appreciated in value. When you sell off the securities, there will be no cash available for the next two days. Monitor your account: You should also monitor the account and have a fixed plan regarding repaying the debt when the stock doesn't respond much. Buy bonds only when you anticipate a decline in the interest rates so that you may be able to sell off the bonds only during an increase in value. Roll over your card if you

Bob Dudley, BP gruppe administrerende direktør og Mukesh Ambani, styreformann og administrerende direktør av Reliance Industries begrenset (RIL) møtte med indisk statsminister av olje og naturgass, Dr Veerappa Moily i Delhi i dag. De oppdatert statsråden om sine felles fremtidige planer i India, inkludert KG D6 blokk enhancement plan designet for å øke produksjonen på blokken. Under KG D6 blokk enhancement plan planlegger BP og RIL å investere i en rekke prosjekter for å utvikle rundt 4 billioner kubikkmeter oppdaget naturgassressurser fra blokken. I løpende priser på internasjonale flytende naturgass (LNG), ville det koste mer enn 50 milliarder dollar til å importere dette volumet av gass til India. Denne planen, når implementert, ville innebære en potensiell total investering i overkant av $5 milliarder over de neste tre til fem år. Ledende den største noensinne handel delegasjon fra Storbritannia til alle land, britiske statsminister David Cameron sa: "BP er allerede den største enkelt britiske investoren i India og beslutningen om å forene krefter med Reliance Industries å investere $5 milliarder i de neste årene i Indias gassmarkedene forsterker hvor to av Storbritannias og Indias ledende selskaper kan arbeide sammen for å investere i og levere energibehov i fremtidenskape arbeidsplasser og økt velstand. " "Gass fra disse prosjektene skal levere energi til millioner av indianere og ville hjelpe India å redusere importere avhengighet. Mitt departement er forpliktet til å gi nødvendige støtte for å fremme slik investering i innenlandsk olje og gass sektoren. Vi vil gjøre det nødvendig å spole spore disse prosjektene og hjelpe dem å oppnå økonomiske levedyktighet,"forsikret Dr Veerappa Moily, Minister olje og naturgass, Indias regjering.

THE long-running saga of BP's troubled Russian joint venture moved closer to a conclusion last night as it held talks on a deal with state-owned oil giant Rosneft. Igor Sechin, chief executive of Rosneft, flew in to London for discussions on buying out BP's 50 per cent stake in TNK-BP in a deal that could be worth as much as £17.5billion for the FTSE 100 group. In what insiders described as "a fast-moving situation" and "a game of brinkmanship" Rosneft also looked poised to buy the remaining stake held by BP's partner, the AAR consortium controlled by a group of Russian billionaires. After years of friction between the two sides, both BP and AAR this year signalled they could sell out of the partnership or seek full control. In a dramatic move last night AAR pulled out of the bidding to buy BP's stake just hours before today's deadline. That paves the way for Rosneft to buy out both BP and AAR to gain control of the highly profitable TNK-BP business and create the world's largest oil company. BP has made it clear that it retains ambitions to remain in Russia and to expand in the Arctic As part of the deal BP is expected to take a 10 per cent stake in the enlarged Russian business, giving it access to one of the world's most important oil-producing countries. AAR sources said the tycoons had decided not to bid because they had been unable to raise sufficient finance in time and BP had signalled it was not interested in their offer. Another major problem for AAR is that Rosneft had already secured backing from a number of key banks who were unable to work with a rival bidder. An alliance between the oligarchs and the Kremlin-backed company has always been seen as unlikely and AAR made it clear that it would seek to sell its holding if Rosneft came on board. Although TNK-BP has been very lucrative, generating £23billion in dividends after an initial investment of £5billion each in 2003, the two partners have always had a stormy relationship.

http://www.newsmeback.com/story.php?title=-bp-spain-holdings-spanish-tax-facts Taxation in Spain occurs at a national level and at a regional ('Autonomous Community') or municipal level. The Spanish taxation system was subject to a significant review in 2007 that resulted in the introduction of a new Personal Income Tax Act. The tax regime in Spain is controlled by the Ministry of the Treasury. Tax Year 1st January to 31st December. Assessment Basis Spanish residents are taxed on their worldwide income (earned and unearned), capital gains from all sources and on their worldwide assets. Spain operates a self-assessment regime. For personal income tax purposes, married couples may choose to file tax returns jointly or separately. Income Tax Spanish residents are subject to Spanish Personal Income Tax ('IRPF'). Individuals and couples benefit from personal allowances which reduce their liability to tax and which increase in line with the number of dependent children. A new structure has been created for the taxation of income, which now falls into two categories: the general base and the savings base of income. The general base includes salary and other benefits from employment, income from economic activities, and property rental income (either actual or deemed). Such income is reduced by applicable deductions and allowances. It is subject to a progressive scale which is applied to successive portions of taxable income with rates ranging from 24% to 43%*. In the autumn of 2011 a new tax bracket was introduced for higher income earners as an austerity measure, with income over €175,000 now subject to a 45% rate. The savings base is subject to a 19% tax rate on savings income up to €6000 and to 21% on the excess and includes interest, dividends, and capital gains/losses paid to residents in Spain, together with life and disability insurance proceeds paid to Spanish residents by a Spanish entity (or an EU insurer operating on a Freedom of Services pa

BP Holdings Blog and Press Release BP is to be the lead sponsor of a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition which will bring masterpieces from the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg to Britain for a unique show at one of this country's finest historic houses, Houghton in Norfolk, opening on 17 May 2013. The magnificent art collection, which originally hung at Houghton, was brought together by Britain's first Prime Minister, Robert Walpole (1676-1745), and following his death was sold in 1779 to Catherine the Great of Russia and was later housed at the State Hermitage Museum. Peter Charow, BP's Vice President for Russia said: "We are pleased to bring the exhibition to its original home. BP is a major supporter of culture in both the UK and Russia." Over 70 paintings from the collection, including masterpieces by Van Dyck, Poussin, Rubens, Rembrandt, Velazquez and Murillo are being reassembled for the first time in over 200 years and shown in their original settings at Houghton. The exhibition includes works on loan from the Hermitage and other Russian museums as well as loans from the National Gallery, Washington and the Metropolitan Museum, New York. The exhibition will reproduce the original hang of the Grand Rooms at Houghton, bringing them back to their original splendor. In its scale and ambition, the exhibition will be a fitting celebration both of 250th anniversary of Catherine the Great's accession to the throne, and the long and distinguished history of Anglo-Russian cultural relations. For over a decade BP's support for Russian culture includes the Mariinsky Theatre and the Valery Gergiev Foundation. In 2011-2012 BP extended its support and has partnered with the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, the State Hermitage, Tretyakov Gallery, Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko musical theatre and annual Dyagilev musical festival in St Petersburg further demonstrating BP's commitment to Russian cultural life. In the UK, BP is a major supporter of the arts w

bp holdings Sweden The incidence of financial fraud in the United States is on the rise. Americans submitted more than 1.5 million complaints about financial and other fraud in 2011 - a 62 percent increase in just three years - according to the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) annual "Consumer Sentinel Network Data Book" the most comprehensive database of U.S. fraud trends (see Figure 1). Joe Borg, head of Alabama's securities commission and a leader among state securities regulators, agreed there is a proliferation of fraud, and he largely blames the Internet. His agency had an unprecedented 31-case backlog of criminal trials involving financial fraud in September 2011. "It's not unusual to have 20-25 convictions a year, but when we have 31 backed up - and we're trying them as fast as we can - the trend is up," he said. Borg ticks off the reasons: "Downturn in the economy. Fear among the public. The idea that the government can't protect them anymore. Medical costs are going through the roof. Those are fears. The Internet is the vehicle. The Internet's a big, big factor." Neil Power, supervisor of the FBI's Economic Crimes Squad in Boston, said the public is not fully aware of how pervasive fraud is, because only the most prominent cases, such as Bernard L. Madoff's $50 billion Ponzi scheme, are covered by the media. The vast majority of cases fly under the public's radar. "There is a substantial amount of fraud being addressed that's not being covered," he said. Many more scammers are never caught by a regulatory system rife with staff shortages and inadequate resources. For example, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) admitted in April 2010 that it has never examined some 3,000 registered U.S. investment advisers, Investment News reported. In Canada, only a small percentage of total fraud is reported to law enforcement: one in three Canadians has been targeted by a scammer, yet only 14 perc
