Schmerz. Der Podcast.#15 Heide Sanati: Flucht - Verfolgung, Migration und FlüchtlingshilfeVerfolgung, Krieg und Flucht führen zu schweren Traumatisierungen, die das weitere Leben grundlegend verändern. Und auf die wir sensibel eingehen müssen.
Heide Sanati ist 1982 aus dem Iran nach Deutschland geflohen – nach zwei Jahren im Gefängnis aufgrund ihrer politischen Arbeit.
In Deutschland musste sie sich nach Haft und Gewalt in einer vollkommen anderen Gesellschaft integrieren. Einen erfüllenden Beruf hatte sie aber schnell gefunden: die Beratung und psychotherapeutische Begleitung von anderen Geflüchteten.
In dieser Folge berichtet sie von ihrer eigenen Geschichte, den Erlebnissen anderer, den Problemen aufgrund fehlender Sprachkenntnisse, den Bela...2024-08-1349 min
Schmerz. Der Podcast.#14 Colette Schulz: Neuromodulation, Schmerzschrittmacher und die Arbeit als Pain NurseElektroden im Rückenmark oder direkt am Gehirn – Colette Schulz ist Pain Nurse und arbeitet seit vielen Jahren in der Neurochirurgie. Neuromodulation, also das Verändern, Modulieren eines Nervenimpulses, ist eine der wenigen Möglichkeiten, die Menschen mit chronischen Schmerzen haben, wenn alle üblichen Maßnahmen versagen.
Colette begleitet die Menschen von der Aufnahme an bis weit über die Entlassung aus der Klinik hinaus. Auch freiberuflich arbeitet sie als Pain Nurse mit chronisch schmerzerkrankten Menschen – und kämpft für die Anerkennung des Pain Nursings als fester Bestandteil der Schmerztherapie.

Schmerz. Der Podcast.#12 Heide Kresse: Pain Nurses - Fortbildungen und Brückenkurse, Interesse oder Verpflichtung?Ist die spezielle Schmerzpflege nur etwas, mit dem sich eine pflegerische oder medizinische Einrichtung “schmückt”? Braucht man überhaupt Pain Nurses – oder sind die Betriebe dazu womöglich sogar verpflichtet?
Heide Kresse ist meine Gesprächspartnerin in der aktuellen Folge zu den beruflichen Perspektiven und Fortbildungsmöglichkeiten für Pain Nurses. Nun ist die Fortbildung deutlich erweitert und verlängert worden. Mehr Wissen, mehr Eigenständigkeit als “Fachkraft für spezielle Schmerzpflege”. Zertifizierte Pain Nurses können sich über Brückenkurse höher qualifizieren. Doch ist das sinnvoll? Braucht ein Betrieb eine Pain Nurse? Und wo können Pain Nurses arbeite...2024-05-0950 min

US TaxUS 28 | PL 86 - 272We already mentioned PL 86-272 a number of times in past episodes. Frances Ellington mentioned it and then also Ed Antolin. Today let’s drill deeper because losing the protection that PL 86-272 grants you, can cost you a lot of money in state income taxes. While PL 86-272 is federal law and so applies to all 50 states, let’s discuss the technical advice memorandum California’s Franchise Tax Board issued. Because California is trying to limit the application of PL 86-272 and chances are that other states will follow suite.And just one comment on the...2022-05-3139 min
US TaxUS 27 | State Tax Sourcing RulesLet’s talk about state tax sourcing rules. How do you determine which income is taxable in which state? If you sell into California but also into lots of other states, how do you determine what is taxable in California and what is taxable in other states? That is the question that Ed Antolin of Vallejo Antolin Agarwal Kanter, or in short VAAK in Walnut Creek, California will discuss with you.To determine which net income is taxable where, you look at sales. You determine the sales for each state. And then you apply that percentage to you...2022-05-2416 min
US TaxUS 26 | California Income TaxIn US update 24 Frances Ellington already gave you a first overview of Californian income tax. In this update let’s drill deeper with Ed Antolin of Vallejo Antolin Agarwal Kanter, or in short VAAK in Walnut Creek, California.Just like with federal income tax, you have to distinguish between individual and corporate state income tax. So the first question to Ed Antolin is: what triggers corporate income tax in California? Only physical presence or is there - just like with sales tax - an economic nexus? Hosted on Acast. See a...2022-05-1729 min
US TaxUS 25 | California Sales TaxUntil June 2018 US sales tax was relatively straight forward. States could only charge you sales tax if you had a physical presence in the state, like a shop or a warehouse.But then came the famous court case South Dakota v Wayfair, and there the Supreme Court decided on the 21st of June 2018 that the states were not limited to physical presence as a nexus, but could also charge sales tax based on an economic nexus. And so today pretty much all states charge sales tax - if they have sales tax - based on physical presence...2022-05-1039 min

Frances Ellington of GHJ Advisors in Los Angeles will give you a very helpful insight about Calfiornia sales and use tax, income and franchise tax.And listen out for Public Law 86-272.

US TaxUS 23 | US State TaxesFor your Australian clients there is a high chance that US federal taxes are zero thanks to the double tax agreement with the US. But most US states don't consider these agreements, so while your client doesn’t pay any federal taxes in the US, they most likely still pay state taxes. So for your Australian clients US state taxes are often much more relevant.Frances Ellington of GHJ Advisers in Los Angeles will walk you through state taxes across the US.

US TaxUS 22 | US Tax IdentifiersNo tax administration system works without tax identifiers. The ATO uses ACNs, TFNs and ABNs. The US uses SSNs, ITINs and EINs. Social security numbers (SSN) are used for tax purposes but also for social security. A social security number in the US is like an individual TFN plus a Centrelink’s CRN in Australia. SSNs are not relevant for us in Australia since most of us won’t be able to apply for an SSN. So we skip SSNs and instead focus on EINs and ITINs.ITIN stands for Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers. And you c...2022-04-1919 min

US TaxUS 20 | s882 and s864 One More TimeLet’s look at s882 and 864 one more time.The term ‘limited force of attraction’ would make a good movie title, maybe a sequel to ‘The Accountant’. But putting Hollywood aside, The Limited Force of Attraction rule in s864 (c) (3) says that if you have a US Trade or business, then all your US sourced income is ECI.

US TaxUS 19 | s864 (c) IRCIn the last episode, we looked at s882 of the Internal Revenue Code which covers foreign corporations with a US Trade or Business. Today let’s look at s864 (c ) of the Internal Revenue Code, which defines effectively connected income (ECI).s864 is the definition section, and for us it is s864 (c ) that is particularly relevant since it defines effectively connected income. S864 (c ) has 8 paragraphs, but it is really only the first five that are relevant for us.1 - Number 1 basically just says that the following rules apply to non-resident aliens as...2022-03-2919 min
US TaxUS 18 | s882: Foreign Corporations plus USTBThe answer is that US-sourced income that is not effectively connected and not FDAP - so-called 'Non-ECI non-FDAP income' - is not taxable in the US if derived by a foreign person. US Sourced Non-ECI Non-FDAP income is not taxable in the US. But the question in this episode is: Why? How can US-sourced non-ECI non-FDAP income not be taxable in the US when s882 (b) (1) clearly says that it is included in the gross income of a foreign corporation?It all starts with section 11. Section 11 says, "A tax is hereby imposed …on the taxable inc...2022-03-2124 min

So this is a real disadvantage if you trade from a country that has no tr...2022-03-1417 min
US TaxUS 16 | Non-ECI Non-FDAPNon-ECI Non-FDAP – how is US sourced income that is neither ECI nor FDAP taxed in the US if derived by a non-resident? This is the point of contention. One school of thought says that all US-sourced income is taxable in the US unless there is a specific exemption. But this is the minority. The majority - and the speaker in this episode is one of them - argues that US-sourced income that is neither ECI nor FDAP is not taxable in the US if derived by a non-resident. Let's use the example of an Australian Pty Ltd sell...2022-03-0828 min

And this despite potentially enjoying zero withholding tax (WHT). And despite potentially having NANE income under s768A ITAA97 or s23AJ / s23AH ITAA36.
