Speaking Federally
Dividends are currently taxed at lower rates than "regular" income. Dividends are currently taxed at 15% (5% for those in the lowest two tax brackets).
These rates are set to expire (and thus increase to a more complex and higher system) mid-season this year (12-31-08) unless an extension was passed that I'm not aware of. edited to add: the changes to this have been complicated, I believe for 2008 the rate may be 0% for those in the bottom two tax brackets. |

I just took a quick look at some of the other Forums for the first time. Very interesting. I now know what the testing Forum is all about. I used to think that it was about various exams for officials. It's not. I found JugglingReferee practicing how to line out my quotes; Stat-Man practicing his keyboarding skills; and JugglingReferee, and w_sohl, learning how to add signatures. Over on the Feedback Forum I found Back In The Saddle asking if he could keep my quotes off his monitor by adding me to his ignore list. Wow. There sure is a lot of information out there on the internet. However, there is no Water Polo Forum. The ASPCA, PETA, and the Humane Society must have lobbied to keep it off. |

San Diego is usually a great city...
Oh man. I remember when this email started going around in the association. Some people shrugged it off, some ran out and bought their licence. I haven't done anything yet.
What really sucks is that each city requires you to have a licence and each city has their own fee for a licence. We work all over San Diego county which I believe has 12 cities in it, if not more. 12 times whatever the fee is equals a lot of money. I am not buying one. I think it's ridiculous to not enforce this law for years, and then just becuase times are tight start to enforce it. |

Talk about a great way to decimate the officiating ranks.

Now, if I were officiating multiple sports all year round, high school, youth leagues, adult leagues, etc., or was heavy into college officiating where the income became substantial, then I could see it. But, for the $2-3,000 minus expenses I currently make from officiating, it alone wouldn't be worth the extra bookkeeping hassles and fees. |

As you know, hockey in King in Canada, and Toronto is a huge market. I've heard of some leagues that play until 2am - because ice time is so sought after. I had a tax friend tell me that Revenue Canada is having a trial program this winter where they're tracking how much money people make officiating hockey in the GTA. While I've never cared to see anything official on the topic, and it'd be silly for my friend to lie about it, it is scary ground for the rest of us here in Canada. Maybe I should pay attention to this topic.
