On this episode of Meeting Midway we're talking with Bob Putnam, Chelsea Salvatore and Emily Baton from the May Institute about their most recent presentation at the 2024 Association for Positive Behavior Supports conference. The title of their presentation was "Beyond Data Collection: Using Data to Make a Difference in IDD Settings". Our discussion centers around their presentation and the fidelity tools they reviewed and discussed. Two tool mentioned in their presentation were the Agency Systems Support Evaluation Tool aka ASSET with Missouri and the Tiered Onsite Evaluation Tool aka TOET with Minnesota. Our discussion then leads into a third fidelity tool the May Institute in Massachusetts is developing. From here we discuss several other tools and resources that listeners might find helpful in addition to goals and dreams for Bob, Chelsea and Emily on where they would like to see these tools in the future. If you're interested in learning about these tools please see the show notes below for further information.

Ontario Election Launch Assessments

This podcast discusses an appeal to the Commission regarding income tax assessments related to participation in Liberty Syndicates. The core issue revolves around whether the appellant's involvement constituted trading in financial instruments or merely an investment, with the appellant attempting to utilize tax losses generated by dividend purchase transactions to offset income tax liability. Previous determinations by the Commission in similar cases, upheld by the High Court and the Court of Appeal, found that the dividend purchase transactions lacked commercial rationale, were designed for tax advantage, and did that not qualify as trading. Consequently, relying on the precedent set by these earlier rulings under Section 949AN of the TCA 1997, the Commissioner determined this appeal without a hearing, finding that the appellant was not trading and was subject to tax on foreign dividend income.

This podcast discusses the Tax Appeals Commission details an appeal against income tax assessments for the years 2011 and 2012. The appeal concerns participation in Liberty Syndicates, which involved complex transactions, notably the purchase of rights to foreign dividends. The Commissioner references previous related cases that were upheld by both the High Court and the Court of Appeal, confirming that participants were not engaged in trading and that the primary purpose of the transactions was tax advantage. As the current appellant did not provide arguments to distinguish their case, the prior findings are applied, concluding that the assessments against the appellant for the tax years in question should remain in effect.
