After the old man who caused the Three Gorges accident passed away, if his family members gave up the inheritance, they would be exempt from paying compensation to the victims. Compulsory insurance and third-party liability insurance become the key to the victims' families' claims for compensation. If the elderly person’s insurance policy does not specify another person as the beneficiary, the compensation money will be considered as the inheritance for repayment; if someone else is specified, the insurance money will not be included in the inheritance and the family members can legally collect it. This case highlights the importance of insurance planning and third-party liability insurance.
If part of the house is used for business and the rest is for self-residence, you can still apply for self-use tax rate and tax savings. Property tax, land tax and real estate tax can all be levied separately according to the proportion of use. The key is to clearly divide the use, declare honestly and apply in time to legally achieve the best of both worlds: "self-residence, business, tax saving and tax exemption".
Property taxes have become more expensive this year, mostly because the property was not declared as a self-occupied residence, resulting in the non-owner-occupied tax rate being levied. Property Tax 2.0 has been implemented since 2015, and the tax rate for owner-occupied properties has been reduced to 1%, while the maximum tax rate for non-owner-occupied properties is 4.8%. If you miss the declaration, the Ministry of Finance has extended the deadline to June 2. Remember to transfer your household registration and apply as soon as possible to enjoy the preferential tax rate.
There are three major coffee bean processing methods: sun drying, washing and honey processing, each of which affects the flavor of the coffee. Sun-dried tea has a high sweetness and rich fruity aroma; water-washed tea has bright acidity and a clean flavor; honey-processed tea has a balanced sweet and sour taste and a smooth texture. Understanding these three processing methods will help you choose the right coffee according to your personal taste.
A certain citizen registered his house in the name of his underage son, hoping to enjoy the NT$4 million tax exemption on owner-occupied land and the 10% tax rate concession. However, his son lost his eligibility when he sold the house and was unable to enjoy the concession. It is reminded that the person who registers the property must be the individual, spouse or minor child, and must have actually lived in the property for six years in order to enjoy the tax savings benefits. It is important to avoid an increase in tax burden due to incorrect registration.
After moving into a new home in Yilan, we encountered water and electricity problems. The original owner shirked responsibility and hired a plumber whose workmanship was rough and the connections were improper, resulting in water seepage. Repairs were repeated but to no avail. I ended up doing the repairs myself and improving the design to avoid future pipe burst risks. I lamented the uneven quality and disappointing low professionalism in the plumbing and electrical industry, and it would be better to do it myself.
Solar panels have many uses. Just a small piece can help you borrow energy from nature. Not only can it provide simple electricity, but if the number of pieces supplied is enough, it can also save the whole family from worrying about high electricity bills in the summer.
It turns out that Italian cuisine adheres to the principle of not wasting ingredients, which coincides with the cooking style I have always pursued; ingredients are important assets bestowed by God, and we should not waste even a little bit, but make full use of them to the utmost.
Trump proposed the "Mar-a-Lago Agreement," which aims to revitalize the U.S. manufacturing industry by devaluing the U.S. dollar and appreciating the New Taiwan dollar to 13.3 through trade and tariff measures. If this comes true, Taiwan's stock and housing markets may soar in the short term, but exports will be hit, industries will be hollowed out, and the risk of bubbles will be high, which may lead to a repeat of the tragedy of the hot money boom and financial collapse in the 1980s.
I have always been able to distinguish the difference between "liking" and "loving", and even though I have had many physical relationships, I always confessed them in advance. What I yearn for is the old-fashioned love that can last a lifetime, with true devotion and never leaving. Even though I am often hurt and misunderstood, I still believe that there is always someone worth waiting for and worth my all-out love.
