International trade: discovering Oman’s success story

by admin

Those that think Oman is just about oil should think again. The Gulf country is in fact seeking to develop and establish trade relations with other nations and is progressing at a staggering pace. Oman’s presence in international trade has been underestimated in the past but its recent progress, also helped by the key role of major international banks, has led the Director General of the Public Authority for Investment Promotion and Export Development (PAIPED), Faris bin Nasser Al Farsi, to praise Oman’s recent advance.

Said Al Farsi: “Oman’s non-oil exports rose by 16.4 per cent in the first 10 months of 2012 to RO2.85bn compared to RO2.45bn during the same period in 2011. Read more…

Getting Paid as a Caregiver Without Jeopardizing Medicaid Eligibility

by Jennifer James

The most recent figures show that 48.9 million people in the U.S. have served as adult caregivers, with 86% of them providing for a relative in need. Not only do these people have to contend with the myriad difficult and thankless tasks associated with caregiving, but most also have to work outside jobs in order to pay the bills. In all, more than 70% of caregivers effectively work two jobs.

As you might expect, that burden ultimately proves unsustainable for many, as nearly one-third of working caregivers choose early retirement, take a leave of absence from their job, or give up working entirely. What’s more, two-thirds adjust their work hours or take time off in order to provide care.

So, while caregiving is obviously important work, it can have a decidedly negative effect on your paycheck. T

Preparing Your Tax Return – Picking The Right Preparer

by Jennifer James

You are legally responsible for what’s on their tax return even if it is prepared by someone else. So, it is important to choose carefully when hiring an individual or firm to prepare your return. Choose your preparer wisely.

As a reminder, the IRS encourages you to use only preparers who sign the tax returns they prepare and enter their Preparer Tax Identification Numbers (PTINs).

Here are a few points to keep in mind when someone else prepares your return:

Make sure the tax preparer is accessible. Make sure you will be able to contact the tax preparer after the return has been filed, even after the April due date, in case questions arise.

Find out about their service fees. Avoid preparers who base their fee on a percentage of your refund or those who claim they can obtain larger refunds than other preparers. A
