International Encyclopaedia of Laws: Cyber Law

Wed, 20 May 2009 08:37:21 GMT

The initial volume contains information about cyber laws in Australia, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Greece, Ireland, Japan, UK, Portugal, South Africa and Spain. Other countries will be incorporated as the work matures. As well as national monographs, the Encyclopaedia includes monographs on supranational and international cyber law issues.

International Encyclopaedia of Laws: Energy Law

Thu, 21 May 2009 14:30:09 GMT

The complex law surrounding energy production and the exploitation of natural resources has reached the legal foreground both nationally and internationally. Numerous countries have enacted new legislation in recent years concerning nuclear power generation, the use of non-renewable resources, transportation of hazardous materials and other issues raised by energy production processes.

Other branches of law have inevitably become bound up with energy law, making it difficult for the legal practitioner to gain a clear appreciation of the entire field, especially in a transnational context.

Each national monograph in this book contains a general introduction, a description of the country's energy legislation, an overview of the basic principles of energy law, the historical background, the role of governmental institutions and the sources of energy law in that country's legal system. Each country's regulatory framework concerning electricity, gas, petrol and coal is fully set forth.

International Encyclopaedia of Laws: Family and Succession Law

Tue, 19 May 2009 10:16:22 GMT

Family and succession law are tightly bound together. Succession law is usually based on kindred relationships as established by family law. The trends established in the marital property laws and succession laws are often a result of developments in family law.

Equality of spouses and of all children, regardless of their descent, is not without consequences for marital property laws and succession law. Therefore, this comprehensive comparative looseleaf set covers family law together with marital property law and succession law. In addition to the national monographs this subset of the International Encyclopaedia of Laws currently includes a monograph for the European Union.

This set is primarily intended for judges, notaries, lawyers and registrars of civil status who find themselves having to apply foreign laws as a result of applicable international private law. However, it is also of great value to academics and researchers, for whom it stimulates comparative studies by providing the necessary basic materials of family and succession law.

International Encyclopaedia of Laws: Intergovernmental Organizations

Wed, 20 May 2009 08:40:08 GMT

The world is getting smaller and increasingly interdependent every day. As a result, national and regional developments are, as a matter of necessity, seen in a global framework. States want to preserve their independence but they are confronted with a growing list of problems which they can only solve in co-operation with others. The sheer scale of the issues at stake calls for an institutional framework to give that co-operation a more permanent structure.

It is therefore appropriate in the framework of the International Encyclopaedia of Laws to make accessible comprehensive, substantial and readily available information on the most important intergovernmental organizations, given their importance for the development of international law and intergovernmental co-operation in general. The fundamental changes taking place nowadays at an incredible pace within IGOs render it all the more necessary to put this information within easy reach. Some 55 leading organizations will be described in separate monographs of approximately 150 pages each.

The Essential GAAR Manual: Policies, Principles and Procedures

Mon, 20 Nov 2006 13:03:13 GMT

The Supreme Court of Canada has delivered judgments in two critical cases involving the General Anti-Avoidance Rule. These long-awaited decisions are the most important developments in tax law in the past decade. Are you on the right side of GAAR?

History
When GAAR was introduced in 1988, it gave Revenue Canada very broad powers to challenge perceived tax avoidance activity. And since its genesis, there have been many justifiable concerns regarding GAAR's impact on tax planning. The bottom line is that GAAR has the power to affect any transaction that has the purpose of eliminating or reducing tax. But there has been little in the way of practical guidance to make informed planning decisions – until now.

The Essential GAAR Manual: Policies, Principles and Procedures is written by Canada's most highly regarded team of experts on GAAR issues at Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP: William I. Innes, LLB, LLM; Patrick J. Boyle, LLB; and Joel Nitikman, LLB, LLM. It was designed with your tax planning practice in mind and includes useful and accessible reference tools that will arm you with the knowledge and insight to inform your clients properly. It answers questions that will affect your tax planning strategies, such as:

What's the future of GAAR after Canada Trustco and Mathew?

What's a "textual, contextual and purposive" analysis?

What does the Supreme Court of Canada mean by requiring that tax measures be "predictable"?

What is the future of corporate tax planning?

What is the future of family and estate planning?

How will commercial tax shelters fare under the "new" GAAR analysis?

How does a practitioner cope with the post-Canada Trustco climate?

How do you document a transaction that may be probed by GAAR?

The author team goes beyond a descriptive and substantive analysis and provides you with key insights into the practical application of GAAR considerations for your day-to-day practice. As the application evolves, the CRA is likely to invoke GAAR with more frequency.

Ultimate HR Manual - Western Edition (BCHRMA)

Tue, 30 Jan 2007 10:07:45 GMT

A joint effort of British Columbia Human Resource Management Association (BC HRMA) and CCH – the content and strategy for this unique reference resource was determined by results of a survey to more then 5,000 members and associates of the BC HRMA.
The concept for the Ultimate HR Manual-Western Edition is based on the highly successful Ultimate HR Manual originally developed in partnership with the HRPAO.
We asked. You answered. So we went to work!
Who knows what should be in an HR manual better than your Human Resource Professional community? The facts on what you want as an HR Professional came out loud and clear in our survey results. You told us you don’t want loads of detail on legislation. And that you don’t want abstract theory or academic discussion. In short, you told us you don’t want the kind of HR resource that is already out there.
Instead, you told us you want practical, easy-to-find, easy-to-read answers and solutions to help you deal with the situations and issues that you face every day.
As a result, we listened to what you want and we’re going to give it to you.
Here are the 6 key benefits you’ll enjoy with the new Ultimate HR Manual – Western Edition.
Minimize your HR compliance concerns - Millions of dollars are paid out over compliance issues each year, which is why compliance is a key concern of every HR Manager. This is one concern you won’t have anymore because each month you’ll receive a monthly newsletter letting you know about relevant changes in both federal, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba legislation.
You’ll have all the forms, checklists and templates you’ll ever need - Having easy access to these work aids will save you immeasurable time, especially when you can customize and print them for your specific purpose.
You’ll be a more effective manager - You’ll have hundreds of “best practice” tips on productivity, motivation and other key bottom line areas. And you’ll be able to speak and act with even more authority in difficult and controversial situations because you’ll have proven expert opinion and advice to back you up.
You’ll be able to stay current without hours of tough reading - Staying up-to-date means slogging through baffling legalese or complicated legislation. But you don’t need to know the details of change. All you need to know is how your organization will be affected. And that’s what you’ll find out in the easy-to-read concise commentaries in the Ultimate HR Manual-Western Edition.
You’ll be able to trust and rely on the content - We’ve calle

Canadian Taxation of Non-Residents

Mon, 09 Feb 2009 08:52:55 GMT

The 3rd edition of this highly successful book focuses on inbound international tax issues surrounding non-residents of Canada who derive income from Canadian sources. The recent ratification of the 5th Protocol to the Canada-U.S. Income Tax Treaty, the changes to legislation and new case law since the previous edition was published has made this edition a critically important update to meet the demands of practitioners dealing with the subject matter.

The key highlights in the 5th Protocol to the Canada-U.S. Treaty as they relate to U.S. residents are as follows:

Phasing-out of withholding tax for interest paid to related U.S. residents;

Extension of treaty benefits to U.S. limited liability companies and their U.S. resident members;

Taxation of stock options received by individuals employed in both Canada and the U.S.;

Taxation of the gains of former Canadian residents;

Changes to the limitation of benefits articles which will now apply to Canada.

Other changes include legislative amendments, new case law, and Canada Revenue Agency Technical Interpretations released over the last 5 years, as well as updates to the tax treaties with countries other than the U.S. Two important changes are:

General elimination of withholding tax on arm’s length interest payments to non-residents

Changes in tax clearance requirements applicable to “treaty protected property”.

Discussions and commentary on the above developments would be of interest to Canadian accounting and legal practitioners alike who act for individual or corporate non-resident clients. Corporations with U.S. employees working on short term assignments in Canada would also be interested in this area of taxation. Also, non-resident professional advisors particularly in the U.S. who need a general reference guide to assess the Canadian tax implications of certain past or proposed transactions would also find the content useful.

IFRS for Canada: Key Performance Indicators

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 15:45:20 GMT

Webinar information current as of November 12, 2008

CCH IFRS Webinar Series 2008 - Seminar 6

Changes in accounting principles and application rules as a result of the adoption of IFRS into Canadian GAAP can be expected to impact a company’s key performance indicators, such as operating income and other financial ratios. Significant areas of common application where differences in underlying accounting principles can be found include revenue recognition criteria, inventory and operating cost calculations, segment reporting, and recognition of foreign exchange gains and losses. A thorough and early understanding of the significant impacts that these and other changes in accounting policies can have on a company’s bottom line and key performance ratios will be essential for managing stakeholder relations during and after the transition to IFRS.

Some basic philosophical differences on KPI’s and Non-GAAP measures
