Eleven European unions have recently agreed to a financial
transaction tax. That’s not to say, however, that everyone is fully on board.
France, for example would prefer it if the tax included foreign exchange
trading. Meanwhile, banks throughout all of the unions are fiercely opposing
the tax, and many financial advisors and average consumers are also opposed to
it for a variety of reasons.
Many have proposed that a higher and/or more inclusive sales
tax might be a better alternative. Others feel that placing a levy on
liabilities is the way to go. Fortunately, these changes
to tax services are not a worry for United States residents.
In fact, the only thing United States consumers really need
to worry about at the current time is gearing up for the upcoming tax preparation season. Though it may
seem far away, tax preparation time will be here before you know it. If you’re
