Thinking about Genius Sports (formerly Betgenius), it's a big question. Currently, we supply sports data (odds, etc.) to customers in the US. If its - say - basketball, then we have scores collected in stadiums in the US (domestic cost), then analysts and computer systems in the UK and Estonia process it and turn those scores into a product, which is then sold to customers in the US.
Where do the taxes fall?
I don't think they've figured out how (or even if) it would apply to services.
It is actually a big worldwide problem. A couple of years ago the EU came up with a system to ensure VAT was paid EU made on digital goods based upon location of the customer (rather than the supplier).
The problem was that they can't actually really enforce it if somebody from outside the EU and decides to sell digital goods to EU customers VAT free. So small businesses in the EU have the extra cost of policing where customers are located, ensuring the correct VAT level is charged etc etc etc, where a their competitors overseas can basically say bugger it as the EU isn't going to know or really be able to punish them.
Is the Trumpsters import duty plan only on physical goods? What about digital items created outside of the US, then "imported" and sold there? Or services where some of the service is provided by employees located overseas?

I would suggest US. Point of sale.
I was talking about the Border Tax Adjustment. What costs could be offset against tax? Right now, you have an internal charge from the UK to the US to reflect the cost of service provision, and which is used to determine how much tax should be paid in the US. Simplifying, to comply with existing rules, the US sells sports data to the UK, that sells odds back to the US.
The BTA would encourage all kinds of odd - non-economic - behaviour to minimise taxes.

Trump couldn't have come at a worse time for the advocates of Brexit. His looming presence will utterly taint any settlement the government manages to wrangle. Whatever happens now, it will always be perceived as Donald's Brexit, with Donald calling the shots and assuming full ownership. When Theresa signs the agreement, she doesn't want anyone with any ink hanging around.
Trump doesn't affect Brexit one way or another. Trump is for 8 years maximum. Brexit is for life. I hope you have got your head around that or you are going to have a very miserable existence.

Sorry yes I realised that after I read through the thread. To be honest I am not sure that Trumps strange plan can work for the sorts of non-goods trade you are talking about. And as others have pointed out it is going to really cause chaos for small US businesses. Like so much of Trump's agenda it appears to be one of those things that is all soundbite and no forethought.
"The White House has refused to send its spokespeople or surrogates onto CNN shows, effectively icing out the network from on-air administration voices.
“We’re sending surrogates to places where we think it makes sense to promote our agenda,” said a White House official, acknowledging that CNN is not such a place, but adding that the ban is not permanent.
...Administration officials are still answering questions from CNN reporters. But administration officials including White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer and senior counselor Kellyanne Conway haven't appeared on the network's programming in recent weeks.
Spicer, speaking at an event at the George Washington University on Monday, denied that CNN was being frozen out, pointing out that he’s answered CNN’s questions in the regular daily briefings.

Genius Sports is large enough to structure their business around minimising this kind of tax. It's going to be an absolute nightmare for any small business that has overseas customers and suppliers.

This is a pretty blunt tool, nakedly aimed at the manufacturing industries. The impact of the law of unintended consequences will be huge, if there are no carve outs for any of the service industries. As Robert said, this is likely to motivate some pretty perverse non-economic behaviours.
I really struggle to understand this idea that MPs have a 'duty' to vote for A50.
If capital punishment was passed in a referendum (God forbid) I wouldn't vote for it in parliament were I an MP. And nor, would I suggest, ought abolitionist MPs.
You get these issues when you break with the simple principles of representative democracy.
That would be fine because you would vote against the referendum bill in the first place. This is not the position many europhilic MPs took.
They voted for an advisory referendum. They've decided not to take the advice. Their constituents will pass judgement. Welcome to our Parliamentary democracy.

Can you read, he was up in front of a parliamentary committee so absolutely nothing to do with Salmond other than Salmond approved the wind farm.
That was the point that all the Yoons on here that had been saying how awful Salmond was for cosying up to Trump did an about turn and started crowing about what a terrible enemy Eck had made. Since the current position of most of them is to get as far up Don's backside as possible, I guess they'll still be thinking of Trump as the destroyer of Scottish indy.
Donald J Trump Everybody is arguing whether or not it is a BAN. Call it what you want, it is about keeping bad people (with bad intentions) out of country!
Is it? Or is it about spending the next four years trying to ratchet up Islamophobia in the knowledge that without fueling such prejudice to new heights his hopes of getting a second term will be dead in the water? Doing so in the cynical knowledge of the greater security threat that that will cause not only to the US but also the UK, as well as the knowledge of the impact on hundreds of thousands of people and families who are no more "bad people" than you or I. All seen as a price worth paying to secure his personal psychotic ambition.

It continues to offend me as a Conservative that we have agreed to make ourselves poorer.
"It is not clear yet whether junior frontbenchers will be sacked if they go against the whip. In normal circumstances that is what would happen, but Jeremy Corbyn has said that he understands why MPs representing pro-remain constituencies may find it hard backing the bill."
Leaked EU parliament report. Basically, if the EU tries to fuck the City, that will fuck the EU, so they might have to be unexpectedly nice to us.
It is in both the EU's interests and ours to have a sensible, workable post-Brexit settlement.
We have to show them that it is in their best interests. That's all this negotiation will be about.
Strong Britain = strong EU not weak Britain = strong EU
The complicating factor is that a weak Britain would be bad for member states but might be good for the EU as an institution. That's what we've got to handle.

Indeed. I reckon logic will prevail. If you listen to the EU Commission then they're gonna turn Britain into a pile of reeking ashes, if you listen to quieter voices in the nation states, Spain, Italy, Sweden, then they want an equable deal.
They have nothing to fear from Brexit encouraging others. We were only halfway in anyway. We were unique. For those inside the euro, i.e. nearly all of the remaining EU, the die is cast. They can never leave.
The Commission is subservient to the member states. They will determine the deal we get, not the bureaucrats and MEPs in Brussels.

This should be our priority. Ensure that member states win out.
It still strikes me as an unworkable and ultimately very daft idea. Mr Trump continues to live down to my expectations.

Quite so. My mistake. TWO mile high skyscrapers in Macclesfield.
But seriously, I do wonder if we may see a small boom as Britain goes indy. Everyone is expecting disaster, plague and famine, but if and when this is not shown to be the case, I wonder if confidence will swing to the other extreme, and animal spirits will take over.
We shall see.
British manufacturers are seeing prices rise at the fastest rate in a quarter of a century following the collapse in the pound in a clear foreshadowing of the inflation pressures building in the economy.
A survey of private sector activity found that input costs at UK factories rocketed in January. Companies blamed the 15 per cent fall in sterling against the dollar caused by the Brexit vote.

So cheer the F up! It's not going to be the Apocalypse. A deal will be done. Our future is neither Utopian nor Dystopian. But we do know that from 2019 the British people will elect and eject all the people who seek to govern us.
I don't think the sovereignty we will gain will, in practice, compensate for the economic downside of leaving the single market. I slso never felt Britain was particularly emasculated within the EU; not that I have ever been fond of its institutions.
It is wrong to discriminate against people based on their religion and place of birth;
Yes - as a general rule. But if those factors were relevant to the risk you were assessing then it might well be sensible to take those factors into account when making a decision such as whether to grant a visa or not.
Stating that one should never discriminate on the basis of a factor, regardless of whether it is relevant, is as silly as saying that, for instance, because one 58-year old woman murdered her husband all 58-year women should be put under suspicion.
On the other hand, if there were a regular spate of 58-year old ladies embarking on murder sprees...........
The issue which Trump is trying - very clumsily and ineptly and potentially illegally - trying to address is the fact that there is a threat from some Muslims and this threat does appear to come from Muslims in or from particular countries. Those who rightly criticize him for the way he is going about it would do better to come up with some effective solutions to the risk.
Or we can do nothing about the risk. How popular or sensible do you think that might be?
@Richard_Nabavi you are so on the defensive that it's hilarious. No I don't think that those who want earlier term dates are evil or misogynists. According to this: http://howtoadult.com/soon-baby-survive-outside-womb-6167934.html the earliest a child can survive outside the womb is 22 weeks. So there is a case for reducing the term limit to 22 weeks. As for the religious right: they may well be being consistent in their position, but their position has no nuance and argues putting through women who have already been through an incredibly traumatic event with more trauma. Furthermore it also advocates introducing more unwanted children into the world. These same people on the religious right don't like birth control - which is actually a way of preventing abortion.
On the defensive? Defensive of whom? I was describing other people's views, not mine.
Not with much success, it has to be said.
Still I'm pleased to hear that you don't think those who oppose abortion under any circumstances are misogynistic.
Incidentally, I've never really understood why the date at which a premature baby can survive outside the womb is relevant to the question, especially when that makes the cut-off date dependent on technological advances in incubator design and medical gizmos. For that matter, a new-born baby can't survive unaided. It's always seemed to me to be an entirely irrelevant point, and it's certainly irrelevant for those whose opposition to abortion is based on a religious principle.
It's not unaided: it's without support from the mother.
It's a question of the rights of the child vs the rights of the mother and what the trade off is between them.
Same question, really, as whether one person should be allowed to smoke in a room or not.

Mr. Observer, it's already very complicated to leave the EU. Suppose the constant creep of powers from here to Brussels continued, and you then did feel it had gone too far. With no prospect of reversing the trend you might want us to leave. But could we, given how difficult it may be even from the current position?
There's already talk of the EU Army. For many, that's far too far.

Just apropos this, and observations that Max (amongst others) have made concerning one of the main rivals to London, Hong Kong (or, worse, Shanghai):
In essence, wealthy tycoons and execs in HK are increasingly having their collars felt as part of the "anti-corruption" purges. It's no longer a safe haven from the mainland.
This will be a limiting factor in the movement of FS from London or NY. That ol' impartial rule of law thing again.

I don't think the rate matters. If they buy anything from abroad - including your services here in the UK - then that expenditure is not deductible for corporation tax purposes. So it doesn't matter whether the rate is too high or too low, it is simply ignored in the calculation of US tax (ie not an allowable expense).

Quite so. My mistake. TWO mile high skyscrapers in Macclesfield.
But seriously, I do wonder if we may see a small boom as Britain goes indy. Everyone is expecting disaster, plague and famine, but if and when this is not shown to be the case, I wonder if confidence will swing to the other extreme, and animal spirits will take over.
We shall see.
British manufacturers are seeing prices rise at the fastest rate in a quarter of a century following the collapse in the pound in a clear foreshadowing of the inflation pressures building in the economy.
A survey of private sector activity found that input costs at UK factories rocketed in January. Companies blamed the 15 per cent fall in sterling against the dollar caused by the Brexit vote.

The problem was that they can't actually really enforce it if somebody from outside the EU and decides to sell digital goods to EU customers VAT free. So small businesses in the EU have the extra cost of policing where customers are located, ensuring the correct VAT level is charged etc etc etc, where a their competitors overseas can basically say bugger it as the EU isn't going to know or really be able to punish them.
The BTA would encourage all kinds of odd - non-economic - behaviour to minimise taxes.

a) They don't have a policy
b) They want to give it the go-ahead, but put the blame on other people to dodge future protests
"The White House has refused to send its spokespeople or surrogates onto CNN shows, effectively icing out the network from on-air administration voices.
“We’re sending surrogates to places where we think it makes sense to promote our agenda,” said a White House official, acknowledging that CNN is not such a place, but adding that the ban is not permanent.
...Administration officials are still answering questions from CNN reporters. But administration officials including White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer and senior counselor Kellyanne Conway haven't appeared on the network's programming in recent weeks.
Spicer, speaking at an event at the George Washington University on Monday, denied that CNN was being frozen out, pointing out that he’s answered CNN’s questions in the regular daily briefings.
But, he added "I'm not going to sit around and engage with people who have no desire to actually get something right."

Strong Britain = strong EU not weak Britain = strong EU
The complicating factor is that a weak Britain would be bad for member states but might be good for the EU as an institution. That's what we've got to handle.

One of the claims is that it deals with the thorny question of profit-shifting between countries.
The transition looks tricky, though, involving big exchange-rate shifts, and some big winners and losers.

To which he won't be invited.
Stating that one should never discriminate on the basis of a factor, regardless of whether it is relevant, is as silly as saying that, for instance, because one 58-year old woman murdered her husband all 58-year women should be put under suspicion.
On the other hand, if there were a regular spate of 58-year old ladies embarking on murder sprees...........
The issue which Trump is trying - very clumsily and ineptly and potentially illegally - trying to address is the fact that there is a threat from some Muslims and this threat does appear to come from Muslims in or from particular countries. Those who rightly criticize him for the way he is going about it would do better to come up with some effective solutions to the risk.
Or we can do nothing about the risk. How popular or sensible do you think that might be?
It's a question of the rights of the child vs the rights of the mother and what the trade off is between them.

Home address form
3.82 Candidates are also required to complete a home address form, which
must be delivered by hand by the persons who can deliver the nomination
form and by the close of nominations. The form is not prescribed but the
information that needs to be provided is set out in law.
3.83 On the home address form the candidate must state their name and
home address. The address does not need to be in the constituency in which
the candidate intends to stand.
3.84 The home address:
must be completed in full
must not contain abbreviations
must be your current home address
must not be a business address (unless the candidate runs a business
from their home)
21
3.85 If any detail of the home address is wrong or omitted, the nomination is
not automatically invalid if the description of the place is such as to be
commonly understood (see also paragraph 3.115 below).
There's already talk of the EU Army. For many, that's far too far.
