Lutte contre la fraude fiscale : les recettes americaines (Apr. 2013)

Les Etats-Unis ont mis en place des dispositifs musclés contre l'évasion, explique Patrick Bourbon spécialiste en optimisation fiscale à Chicago.

 Les Américains ont des années d’avance sur nous en matière de lutte contre la fraude fiscale. Barack Obama a vraiment pris le taureau par les cornes. Ils ont mis en place des dispositifs musclés contre l’évasion fiscale. L’un concerne les particuliers (le FBAR :Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts, instauré en 2011). L’autre, les particuliers et les banques : c’est le FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act de 2010).

Impôt sur le revenu : une hausse continue depuis cinq ans (Apr. 2013)

Depuis quelques jours, les 36 millions de contribuables reçoivent dans leur boîte aux lettres leur feuille de déclaration de revenus 2012. Ils ont un peu plus d'un mois pour la renvoyer par la poste ou la remplir sur Internet.

De quoi leur laisser le temps d'appréhender les nouvelles mesures entrées en application depuis le 1er janvier et qui alourdissent un peu plus leur imposition.

How to Reduce Taxes? Let's Learn More About the U.S. Tax System ! (Feb. 2013)

Are you curious to know how the recent tax changes will affect you? 

The last time the top individual marginal tax bracket increased was 1993. The maximum marginal tax rate of 31% in 1992 was raised to 39.6% in 1993.

The U.S. has not run a budget surplus since 2001. Federal debt is more than 100% of GDP, the highest in over 60 years. When the present value of social security and healthcare liabilities is taken into account, the debt-to-GDP ratio may climb to more than 300%.

Let's Diversify our Portfolio! (Oct. 2012)

Our goal is to help our clients understand why a portion of their portfolios is invested in international financial markets (20% to 50% of the equities may be allocated in Europe, Asia, and Emerging Markets). Not only do Emerging Markets have much lower debt levels and a younger population, international stocks also seem to be currently cheaper than U.S. stocks.

Investisseurs irrationnels : la peur de perdre (Oct. 2012)

Warren Buffet a souvent expliqué qu’il suivait deux règles de base en tant qu’investisseur professionnel. Règle numéro un: "Ne pas perdre d'argent", règle numéro deux : "Suivre la règle numéro un". Si ce principe de base a permis à l’"Oracle d'Omaha" de connaître de grands succès, cette idée nous donne l'occasion de parler d'une des distorsions cognitives les plus courantes parmi les investisseurs: la loss aversion, c'est à dire la peur de perdre.
