TechnologyOne, an enterprise software company listed among the ASX 200, has claimed the Australian Taxation Office’s (ATO) corporate tax transparency report, which states the company has paid less than 30 percent tax in the 2014-15 financial year, is “both confusing and misleading”.

During the gradual rapprochement between the US and Muammer Gaddafi’s Libya in February 2007, Rex Tillerson visited the country and met its leader in his traditional tent.

Apple’s products are arguably very polarizing in terms of specs and value, with some opening that there’s no shortage of cheaper and more powerful alternatives eclipsing the Cupertino company’s products in the market. However, one thing people can all agree on, Apple or non-Apple fan, is that all its products are very fragile pieces of technology, often ending up looking like props from a Michael Bay film […]

Rick Telander admits he has an addiction. “I read three to four hours each day,” Telander said. “Sometimes as much as eight hours. I can’t stop myself. I am addicted to the English language.” Naturally, Telander jumped at the opportunity to be the editor of “The Best American Sports Writing: 2016.” The annual anthology, overseen by series editor Glenn Stout, should be a must-read for every sports […]

More than ever before, these articles pulled the curtain back on how an estimated $100 billion in undeclared money has been siphoned from Canada into offshore tax havens.

There is some merit to both rationales, but I’d also like to suggest a third possibility: Navy’s gaming the system. Continue reading the main story For instance, have you ever heard of the Naval Academy Preparatory School, or NAPS as it’s called?

Submitted by Nomi Prins via TomDispatch.com, Given his cabinet picks so far, it’s reasonable to assume that The Donald finds hanging out with anyone who isn’t a billionaire (or at least a multimillionaire) a drag.
