Merkel says fall of Wall proves 'dreams can come true'


“ … Here is another one. A change in what Human nature will allow for government. "Careful, Kryon, don't talk about politics. You'll get in trouble." I won't get in trouble. I'm going to tell you to watch for leadership that cares about you. "You mean politics is going to change?" It already has. It's beginning. Watch for it. You're going to see a total phase-out of old energy dictatorships eventually. The potential is that you're going to see that before 2013. They're going to fall over, you know, because the energy of the population will not sustain an old energy leader ..."

… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …

EU curbs on tax evasion prove ineffective

Deutsche Welle, 4 Sep 2013


EU guidelines call for the international exchange of citizens' bank account data to catch tax evaders. But the painstaking and time-consuming evaluation of foreign interest data seldom pays off for German tax offices.

Austriaand Luxembourg are known as two of the lucrative European Union countries for investors looking to shield their wealth tax authorities. Tax loopholes have long been a thorn in the side of EU finance ministers. Common EU interest rate guidelines were intended to close these loopholes eight years ago. The guidelines were intended to establish access to all EU citizens' accounts in all EU countries and ensure transmission of data back to the responsible tax authorities.

There's just one problem. That data has proven extremely cumbersome to deal with.
"The things trickle in on paper," said Thomas Eigenthaler, head of the German Taxpayers Union. Processing the papers makes it difficult and time consuming for tax offices to line up foreign accounts with the right people and evaluate data from foreign countries.

"We have to assume that we have very different tax administrations in Europe and that each country has its own software," Eigenthaler said.

A race against time

The Federal Central Tax Office, a part of the German Ministry of Finance, collects the information sent from abroad and shares it with state authorities. "It is a time consuming task, and it's often the case that there are hardly any tax consequences because the amounts of money are so small," Eigenthaler said. Around just half of one percent of a tax office's citizens are involved in such a procedure. 

The effort needed to find money isn't
worth the sums recovered, some argue
The automatic and electronic transfer of data would give tax authorities more time. Reports from 2010 and 2011 are currently under analysis, and the delayed receipt of information from abroad means every tax return a citizen filed in that period needs to be re-evaluated despite the return being long finished.

"We are trying to catch up with this process' past years as quickly as possible," said Luise Hölscher, the deputy finance minister for the state of Hesse. "We are running up against the statute of limitations for this information. That's because a new process was established in 2005, and there is still no common procedure for it."

Much work, low returns

The amount of labor that goes into processing data from abroad is not commensurate with the minimal extra income tax offices receive, Hölscher added. If income from foreign interest has already been taxed then German tax authorities get information about the account. However, those details are already listed on a person's tax filings, and German officials cannot re-tax the money there.

The western German state of Hesse offers an illustration for those saying the existing procedure does not pay off: during its first four years, from 2005 to 2008, the state earned a total of 1 million euros ($1.32 million). But doing so required evaluating thousands of reports regarding the state's taxpayers, all on the taxpayers' dime.

No one knows how much money is in
Luxembourg and Austria - or how much
has been taxed, Hölscher said
For Thomas Eigenthaler, the EU interest guidelines do not go far enough. He believes they need to cover more investments than only savings accounts, citing the fact that the financial world has changed such that it has become easier than ever to create new financial products.

Of the EU's 28 members, only Austria and Luxembourg have not signed on to the common guidelines. The two nations represent the largest holders of investments in the bloc and, EU finance ministers believe, the largest amounts of untaxed wealth. Exactly how much foreign capital has been invested in Austria or Luxembourg is unknown. Ministers have also said they would like to see Switzerland and Liechtenstein, which are not EU members, agree to the guidelines, which would place even more pressure on tax offices to evaluate more reports.
