Must work for money or for fun? It is indeed a classic yet the answer is not simple. When it comes to our lives, the answer is never.

The board “easy” is obviously to recommend to follow his passion. Do what you love is great but it may lack of arguments. Should we prefer to do a BTS accounting and management rather than studying art because the job security is more certain, for example …

But the real challenge is to make sure that the path you want to follow is a passion. How to be sure? We can not be. One day we want at all costs to start a business and then another all that is desired is to be able to have a hobby in the evening and from 5 weeks on vacation. That’s life, a bit of fatalism does not hurt but check that what we see as a passion really is.

An error in the drafting of a contract may result in higher tax costs. Before the costs of such a blunder, customers can take advantage of certain remedies with respect to the tax authorities.

This was explained by Mr. Dominic C. Belley, a lawyer with Ogilvy Renault in Montreal during a speech to the Association of Tax and Financial Planning , Tuesday.

Indeed, a pricing error made when drafting a contract of sale could have serious tax consequences, the customer wanting to pay tax only on an agreed price and not the wrong price listed on paper. This kind of error can be corrected and the tax consequences can be modified thereby.

We reproduce an interview he conducted the IG consultant, Damian Tabakman, which explains the advantages of cost and traditional trusts.

In the last magazine wrote about trusts at cost versus traditional formats …
Many people do not quite understand what this difference but the truth is that it is very important to be clear, especially because the costs are generalized trust in the real estate developers today and choose to operate in this way.

What is the difference between these two investment structures?

In the trusts at cost, each of the investors is a partner in the venture and part of the project, without being more certain about the final cost of the work and be subject to the settlement costs that the developer will be doing as the work is progressing and is taking shape. This format is very different from the traditional model. Before a person buys an apartment in a project, and first entered the showroom, he spoke with the developer, reviewed the final product, even shopping at the well, and then sign a sales contract, where as long as the buyer paid in timely and had every right in the world to demand that its counterpart, the developer, the department will also deliver on time and in shape.
