How To Stop My Friends From Seeing My Friends

solidarity tax administration

These days I have had conversations with clients and friends on the theme of Solidarity Tax and the issue of valuation, but especially in condominium, where it seems that doubts persist.

Therefore, this paper specifically targets the issue of the value of property in relation to Condominium Solidarity Tax.

Recall that the first step, I determine whether I have any obligation is to determine the "taxable value of the building, including the value of the fixed and permanent installations," says Article 6) of the Act

"Owners of property in the Condominium, shall add to the value of its subsidiary, the value corresponding to them proportionately on the common areas, "says Article 4 of the Act (taxable)

However, several points: 1 .- First

I know the type of Condominium: There are condominiums, Vertical, Horizontal and Mixed (also lots combined, etc., but these are not cases that discuss). Vertical
Condominiums In the filial is composed almost exclusively of air, as is the common walls enclosed space agency (and a few internal walls dividing). Condos For such, the value of the building is removed using the model of apartment buildings. Then the space will be added to common areas within the building as the same type, but this time of this value will only be for the subsidiary as its percentage of ownership point (we shall see this figure)
In Condominiums Horizontal, where each branch also owns the land where it sits, the value of construction is determined by the type of construction of housing has been applied. To this is added the value of the common facilities BUT this value will only be for the subsidiary as its ownership percentage point (we shall see this figure)
In the case of joint rule will continue under the rules which each portion, but as the most common are Vertical Horizontal and these criteria can resolve the situation.
If you do not know what kind of condominium living, to know the NAME registration of the Condominium will have the answer, unless more than 10 years after its construction case in which writing and actually guide us. 2 .- Second

I know the percentage of ownership: The percentage of ownership is the portion of the total areas common of which I own. For example, if my percentage of ownership is 1.33%, means that I own my branch and 1.33% of the common areas.
"Common things belong to all condominium owners who have a right to them in proportion to the percentage of the area set for the subsidiary within the condominium property," says Article 9 of the Act Regulating Condominium. Normally in the Report
registry is called coefficient measure or measure value.
Another percentage is called the percentage of value. This comes from dividing the total value of the condominium between subsidiaries. The figure is quite arbitrary and not always match the percentage of ownership. This second percentage
no longer considers both the percentage of ownership than my share of the common areas, but the percentage of votes that I can exercise in the Assembly (Article 24, Law 7933), and also serves to measure the quorum and convene, and often used (not compulsory) to determine the percentage that will participate in the payment of common expenses (Article 33 of Law 7933)

THEN, if I have an approximate figure for the value of my branch (buildings only) and say that is 80 million colones, and I know the common area (buildings only) has a value, say the case 200 million colones I know also that this value corresponds to a 2.5% me, the value of my building is:

80 million colones of my branch (construction)
5 Million Colones which is 2.5% of the value of 200 Millions of common area (buildings)
TOTAL: 85 million colones.

If I'm at or below 100 million Colones of the value of buildings (private and appropriate percentage of the common me) I have no obligation or to enroll, or to declare or pay.

If more than 100 million will add the value of land (private and I appropriate proportion of the commons), and prepare to register, declare, and will certainly pay.

what to do to be comfortable with this tax? Ask, consult, read or research. As always knowledge is power ... but only if it is used.

Man Masterbates In Silage

follows teachers strike. We


Perhaps my position is marked by a relative bias, since my parents and my husband are profs, but I sincerely believe that their requests are fair and the government also began back into something that had previously recognized (that the historic debt did exist).

Do students are affected? yes, unfortunately ... I hope the dialogue always prevail, and that was how to resolve conflicts ...


From this humble corner of my support for the teachers.

Which suits me. How to lose money

Condominiums usually have a life cycle in relation to administrations that roughly follows this course: first, is administered by the Developer, and second, as they are more independent of the developer take one of two ways or hire an outside firm to accept the offer or administration of a condominium. The funny thing is that after this, as there are problems, they often take back one of these two roads, which had management company looking for a condominium and condominium owner who had a look for a foreign administration. After that, if problems persist, the Condominium may enter the most dangerous: the apathy and disinterest, which opens the door to governments seeking more personal gain than the condominium. Disorder, property appreciation and quality of life will be involved. After that, probably living in condo is almost impossible, and little by little, the owners decided to leave, either by selling or giving rent.

If a condominium is able to avoid this situation and manages to choose a good administration, may be the door for the growth of value, quality of life and certainly the order and return. Good choice

administration (either external or a condominium) is the first step to prevent the decay of the Condominium.

To choose a good management must observe the following:

1 .- You must have a Board or Committee can lead the process. That leadership should focus on overseeing the work of management and the Board or Committee must have political support and resources, whether financial or professional support, to carry the process forward. Without this work may result in demotivation.

2 .- When you value the administration should take care offers the temptation to do so quickly: there should be a minimum list must agree to abide under the contract (with financial penalties if not met), the deep details of the service, personal, hours, routines, functions. All in comparative terms. Viability must also be reasoned to the bidders to fulfill the promise of the price offered.

3 .- Once chosen the Administration to sign a contract as detailed and agreed, and the Administration for its management must meet certain minimum, which the Board or Committee should monitor closely: § Do not tolerate delinquency
beyond 90 days, after which they must raise their respective legal fees. §
not tolerate breaches of Regulation in a sharp, even if necessary by selecting the most obvious to implement the sanctions regime is that of regulation or lack of it, the rule of law, then you relax the rules, a Once you have established as an authority. §
not allow misinformation to what knowledge should total the validity of the Regulation, all agreements made, the plans adopted and the status of accounts, goods and services purchased and details of suppliers , whom the Board should meet personally to avoid fees, brokers or nominees ghosts of the administration.
§ Do not allow the condominium operating in deficit, as this may become a permanent excuse for mismanagement or worse, is the door for unscrupulous government, keep it in red, financed at high interest rates and convert the administration in a financial instrument on its behalf. §
disorder not allow legal issues, personality maintaining books and records of firms, policies and other contracts with suppliers (especially security) up to date.

Three months are enough to realize if an administration walks to meet these minimal or no.

is clear that to require this minimum, must have agreed the economic conditions that enable the Administration to use the resources and personnel needed to meet these minimums, and if the condominium does not provide these conditions, it can hardly get these minimums. Rather, it could be a situation in which it is the Condominium which take advantage of an administration with the will and desire to work with quality, but lacking the resources to do so.

4 .- If the administration has covered these minimum (counting the resources to do so), it's time to relax oversight, to that this Board or Committee to consider future plans and all that the Government and Direction of a condominium involves holding frequent meetings, but without neglecting the minimum. The Administration should not decide the future of a Condominium: you must manage their resources for this to be a tomorrow in which the plans agreed by the homeowners may be true.

5 .- After that will overcome the routine and fatigue where you can drop any service provider for more well-intentioned it is. The minimums should not be abandoned ever ... the rest will follow. Both parties are obliged to care that this minimum is always up.

6 .- If you meet these points a Condominium NEVER fall into anarchy and economic impairment and quality of life. As you can see is not so important if a foreign government or a condominium, if a large company, or one that is growing slightly.

Most importantly, as with any purchase, a consumer is to be inquisitive, informed and vigilant. When the administration is wrong, maybe the change should start at home.
