In most cases we own a majority of the equity interests of a firm and structure a revenue sharing arrangement in which a percentage of revenue is allocated for use by management of that Affiliate in paying operating expenses of the Affiliate including salaries and bonuses. We call this the “perating Allocation. ” The portion of the Affiliate’s revenue that is allocated to the owners of that Affiliate (including us) is called the “wners’ Allocation. ” Each Affiliate allocates its wners’ Allocation to its managers and to us generally in proportion to their and our respective ownership interests in that Affiliate. ne of the purposes of our revenue sharing arrangements is to provide ongoing incentives for Affiliate managers by allowing them to participate in the growth of their firm’s revenue which may increase their compensation from both the perating Allocation and the wners’ Allocation. Thesearrangements also provide incentives to control operating expenses thereby increasing the portion of the perating Allocation that is available for growth initiatives and compensation. An Affiliate’s perating Allocation is structured to cover its operating expenses.

Internet tax bill off the table – for now
San Francisco Chronicle
tmpl –> California AB178 which was slated for a hearing April 27 was taken off the table just hours before it was to be heard by the Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee. Although this is not a victory in the fight against taxes that unfairly target small businesses opting to leverage an online marketing business model it’s a very positive development. This means that AB178 is now considered a two-year bill and won’t be voted on until January 2010 at the earliest. Still small-business owners need to keep an eye on this issue as the contents of the stalled bill could be placed into another bill or end up in the annual budget and pushed through unnoticed. As written AB178 claims that any Web publisher who displays advertising from an out-of-state retailer and subsequently earns a commission on a sale as a result of that advertising establishes a presence in the state for the retailer requiring it to collect sales tax on all orders received from residents of California.
