|Gu Ying shoots the wild animals in the Antarctic region.[For Women of China]
Gu Ying, formerly a professional paraglider, is now a wildlife photographer. Gu has spent much time shooting wild animals in Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve, in northwestern China's Qinghai Province, since 2016. "My responsibility and obligations are to record wild animals in a real, comprehensive way, and to reveal the actual living conditions of the animals to the public. I hope the public will learn about the wild animals, and then help protect them," says Gu.
Becoming a Photographer
Both of Gu Ying's parents served in China's air force. Under their influence, Gu developed a yearning to fly when she was young. One day, in 2003, paragliding caught her attention, while she was hiking. The sport evoked her childhood dream of flying.
Gu took some paragliding courses, and she later became a professional paraglider. She practiced paragliding for half a year before she won the gold medal in a national paragliding competition. She became a member of China's national paragliding team in 2004. She won gold medals in national paragliding competitions three times over the next five years. Unfortunately, she had an accident while she was practicing in 2009; she fractured the second lumbar vertebra, and she was confined to bed for the next three months. She had to suspend her paragliding career for at least one year.
|Gu Ying is practiced paragliding.[For Women of China]
While she was recuperating, Gu realized she could fulfill her dream of flying in another way — so to speak. As she could not fly like a bird, she decided to take photographs of birds. She became a wildlife photographer, and she mainly shot various species of birds.
"Paragliding and shooting wild animals have something in common. I have passion for both … Both require much willpower and patience. I need to spend much time to do them well. Paragliding is a sport that requires me to challenge myself. However, shooting wild animals is more meaningful. I can promote the animals to more people," says Gu.
She often stays in remote regions for long periods to shoot rare bird species or to obtain valuable photos of wild animals. She stayed in a remote mountainous area in the Tibet Autonomous Region for several weeks, in September 2011, to shoot photos of some special birds on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. She went to the Arctic region twice and each time she stayed there for 10-plus days, so she could photograph the moment when polar bears left their caves, with their newborn cubs, after hibernation. She stayed in the Antarctic region for 18 days, to shoot emperor penguins as they were breeding.
"I study the animals before I shoot them. I must be thoroughly familiar with their habits and characteristics. I need to use different methods of photographing to shoot different animals. Only if I blend into the living conditions of these animals can I obtain high- quality photos. Many wild animals live in remote areas, so the conditions … must be arduous. However, I really enjoy shooting animals, and I never regard it as a difficult thing. I describe wildlife photography as 'peeping.' I cannot disturb the animals. I hope to approach the animals without disturbing them, and to shoot them in a clear way," Gu says.
To date, Gu has shot more than 1,000 species of birds in various regions of the world. Some of her photos have been included in the Handbook of the Birds of the World, an authoritative bird encyclopedia. She has also shot many rare animals in their habitats.
In Hoh Xil
In 2016, the administrators of the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve invited Gu to take photographs of Hoh Xil. Some of those photos were included in a video, an introduction to the reserve, to accompany the reserve's application to be listed as a world heritage site, in the natural site category. Hoh Xil was added to the list on July 7, 2017.
Gu has shot various species of animals in Hoh Xil nature reserve and the Three-River Source (Sanjiangyuan) National Nature Reserve, situated in southern Qinghai Province. Sanjiangyuan is the largest nature reserve in China, and it is the origin of the Yangtze, Yellow and Lantsang rivers.
"China has an abundance of species, especially on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The public knows little about most of the species. I am a Chinese wildlife photographer. I think I have a responsibility to shoot the species in Hoh Xil," says Gu.
She arrived in Hoh Xil to shoot Tibetan antelopes for the first time in June 2016. "I once went to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau three times in two months to shoot the antelopes. I once stayed in the depopulated zone in Hoh Xil for 40-plus days. I put up a tent where the antelopes lived, and I installed the photographic equipment in the tent. Every day, I entered the tent at 5:30 am, and I left the tent at 9 pm. I could only eat some canned congee, as fragrant food would attract nearby bears," says Gu.
She is planning to make a documentary that reflects the natural ecology of Hoh Xil and Sanjiangyuan. "There are few images about the animals and plants in the depopulated zone. I need to spend much time shooting the species. I hope more people will gain a more comprehensive understanding of Hoh Xil and Sanjiangyuan through my photos and videos," says Gu. She provides her photos and videos to experts, to help
them conduct their research. Experts at the Northwest Institute of Plateau Biology, under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, spoke highly of Gu's images of the migration of the Tibetan antelopes. Experts cannot say for certain why the antelopes migrate every year, but they can study the reasons why the antelopes migrate through Gu's photos and videos.
Gu serves as deputy secretary-general of the Hoh Xil Wildlife Conservation Association. She has given lectures, in China and abroad, on photography and ecological protection. She also gives lectures attended by biology teachers from primary and middle schools, and she shares her experiences in Hoh Xil with those teachers. The teachers share Gu's concept of ecological protection with their students, and they help the students cultivate an interest in nature and the awareness of protecting the biological diversity on earth.
"Wildlife photography does not merely mean shooting beautiful photos, but also promoting the species on earth to more people, so the public will pay attention to the species, and help protect the environment and the biological diversity on earth. We should respect all life on earth," says Gu.

A bill proposing to prohibit abortion after 13 weeks of pregnancy was filed in the N.C. House by nine Republican representatives in the General Assembly on Feb. 5.
House Bill 28 would prohibit access to abortion after the 13th week of pregnancy except in cases of medical emergency. This bill comes shortly after President Donald Trump stated his desire to stop late-term abortion in his State of the Union address on Feb. 5.
Currently, North Carolina law bans abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy, except when there is a danger to the mother's life or when her physical health is compromised. If passed, the law would go into effect on Dec. 1, 2019 and would apply to abortions performed on or after that date.
The bill's primary sponsors are Rep. Keith Kidwell, R-District 79, Rep. Michael Speciale, R-District 3, and Rep. Michele Presnell, R-District 118.
Kidwell released a statement Monday detailing his support of the bill. Kidwell said he opposes allowing abortion after the quickening, or when mothers can feel movement in the womb around the 13th week of pregnancy.

Just read an insightful post from Newsweek regarding the ongoing financial disaster and why William Black, a guy who tells it like it is, thinks Obama's economic team can't cut it in trying to turn this country around before it's too late.
"The administration's officials have all been failures as regulators. [Chairman of the Securities Exchange Commission] Mary Shapiro's big thing was self-regulation. That worked real well: the self-regulation of the investment banks. Ben Bernanke [Chairman of the Federal Reserve] I'm also very critical of, but I do give him credit for being willing to drop a lot of his anti-regulatory ideology in the face of the crisis. He literally wrote the book on the Great Depression, but he was not going to go down in history as the person who caused the second Great Depression. Some of the things Bernanke did were very bad, but he is in sharp contrast to Geithner who has been wrong about everything in his career. When Geithner was once answering a question in response to Ron Paul, he said, 'I've never been a regulator.' He was then the President of the New York Federal Reserve, and he purports that he was never a regulator? That is a demonstration of what is wrong with the Federal Reserve banks if the head of the unit doesn't think he's a regulator. He's a disaster."
To see why William Black's a player, click here to catch the interview he had with Bill Moyers, it's a classic.

Anxiety is never a pretty experience with which to deal. To properly understand anxiety, perhaps we should make a quick definition of it.
Anxiety is not synonymous with fear; rather, anxiety may be classified as a type of fear. The difference between outright fear and anxiety is that when one is afraid, there is a specific source of the fear; one knows what one is afraid of. One fears a snake biting one, for instance.
Anxiety, on the other hand, is a fear that has no specific source, or the source is generalized and not well-understood.
Anxiety may also be in the realm of worry; for instance, one worries and experiences worrying without knowing what exactly is causing the worry.
This is the world into which I've been plunged over the past few days. Whether the anxiety is a mere process of irrational psychological elements or is an intuitive perception that something is wrong with me or someone else is unknown at this point, and I can say that I really wish I knew what was going on.
Or perhaps I don't really wish I knew what was going on!
Sometimes, when one experiences an inexplicable emotion, it is because the feelings have been carried on the current of humanity and brought to one. Someone you care about is upset or worried, and you somehow pick up on this things, even non-locally.
Maybe there is more to be said that simply can't be stated aloud, and that's fine by me.
I pray that all things are well, though.
(Author's Note: I wrote this blog sometime last week when my anxiety was pretty high. Since then, I've come down from it, but this blog was still worth posting.)

We had a really tough time choosing our favorite writing contest submissions. However, in the end, we had to make a decision. In case you missed it, our third place winner was J. M. Cools with her 4th of July cemetery celebration and our second place winner was Cherie Kephart with her loving description of disgusting cat food. Go check it out if you haven't already. But now it's time to announce . . .
Our FIRST place winner is Diane Rogers!
Diane's delectable descriptions of Parisian baguettes make you want arrive early to seize the day even with grumbly teenagers in tow.
Impossible Paris
Never arrive in Paris at six o'clock in the morning.
If you do, a bland-faced hotel clerk will stare you down from across a marble counter and shake his balding head from side to side.
"C'est impossible," he will say.
His words banish your dreams of an early check-in and a hot shower. They make you forget the thrill of watching a fuchsia sunrise pirouette over the City of Lights during landing—a spectacle that made you believe Paris is the kind of place where anything is possible. Instead, the comingled aftertaste of irritation and airline coffee drive you in search of your toothbrush.
You brace for a volley of complaints from the two exhausted, ripe-smelling teenagers slumped on the lobby sofa behind you. But when your 15-year-old daughter shrugs her shoulders and says, "C'est la Vie. C'est Paris," and your 13-year-old son shoots you a what she said look, you think you've won the lottery.
After your son's hunger leads you onto the Parisian sidewalks, you feel your stomach clutch at the realization you have no idea where you're headed. Within minutes, however, you arrive by chance into a world exploding with the scent of honeysuckle and summer peaches. Shaded by rows of leafy Linden trees, an entire city block lined with market stalls envelops you in the fragrance of yeast, warm butter, and chocolate. A waft of espresso sends you to your knees.
At the intersection of Saxe and Bretuil in the seventh Arrondissement, your senses come alive. This, you think, this is the pinnacle of Paris. Who needs the Eiffel? Here, a rainbow of produce pulsates with freshness. The air is laden with the earthy scents of fresh-harvested food, damp cardboard, and cigarette smoke. Rush-hour commuters scream by on motor scooters blasting tinny horns. Crusty baguette soldiers stand at attention. Creamy orbs of artisan fromage blink at you like alien stars daring to be explored. Shameless custard-filled pastries, burlesque and berry-laden, flaunt themselves. The toasty croissant in your hand tastes of sweet butter and bliss. In the company of your children, Paris is a place you want to chew on forever.
On this corner, you watch with motherly pride as your daughter's high school French generates a spontaneous feast, more lunch than breakfast. From her lips, magical words like Baguette Les Ouefs yield edible bread boats smeared with velvety butter, brimming with sliced eggs and lettuce frills. Sandwiched between your teens, you sit on a curb eating a bounty of simplicity. The size of your burgeoning son's Converse sneakers makes you wonder where the time has gone. You beg it to stand still, but it won't.
This summer, your husband will be in the process of booking two tickets to Paris. He will stop and ask your thoughts on the best time to arrive. The aftertaste of that speckled sunlit morning seventeen years ago will come rushing back.
"Six o'clock in the morning," you will say. "Any other hour of the day is 'C'est impossible.'"
After retiring from a corporate career in business transformation and change management, Dr. Diane Rogers brings her expertise in social psychology to classrooms and families.
Her first picture book, Stand Tall, made its debut at the 2008 Seeds of Compassion Conference in Seattle, Washington featuring His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. A week after the book's release, the State of Washington selected Stand Tall as an official teaching resource for compassionate education. Diane's other published works include Emerge, A Story of Confidence, and When We All Stand Tall. To find out more, visit www.drdianerogers.com.
A self-professed global nomad, when they aren't traveling on or jumping out of planes, Diane and her husband Kevin triangulate between Sydney, Australia, Newport Beach, and their sailboat in the Mediterranean.

Back in the USA
Dear Family, Friends, and Supporters,
It was a warm welcome back to the USA. We were glad not to be freezing cold this time. We've also appreciated all the greetings and meetings we've been able to have since our arrival in July. Our time back in the US, so far has been pretty busy. We had about a week and a half to recover from jet lag (which really was the best we've ever experienced, Praise God!) before taking off for the East Coast for 2 weeks. Our organization had a scheduled Enrichment conference where we heard updates from other colleagues around the world, reconnected a bit with some our colleagues on furlough, and even shared what God has done through the efforts of our team in the last year. Our children enjoyed meeting up with other Third Culture Kids just like them and seeing some of their BD buddies. The second week was a refresher in the vision and practice of our organization. And in between all this, we saw family, friends, and spoke at CenterPoint Community Church. We returned to Southern Illinois and moved into the house we are renting for the year. The next morning 6 of 8 of us woke up with some terrible GI bug and the next day the other 2 came down with it. Not sure we've ever had our whole family sick at the same time. But, within a couple days we all bounced back and tried to do a little more unpacking and settling into the house. We've been so blessed by friends helping us with furniture and other needed items for the house, with really nice neighbors and lots of neighborhood kids for our kids to know and play with, and just many other little encouraging things.
Meghan was eager to spend her shared birthday with her dad, since it has been several years since we've been able to do that. So, we headed out to Arkansas for a week to visit with most of her family members. It was a great time of seeing loved ones again, meeting a new nephew for the first time, and seeing our kids thoroughly enjoying their cousins. The boys were especially excited to do "farm stuff" with Meghan's older brother.
We returned from Arkansas and shared with our local church, Third Baptist, of God's working in the last two years since we were here last. We're grateful for how supportive they've been of our family and encouraging to us while we worked in BD. It's been great to see people there again. Some of our kids decided they wanted to talk about their home and experiences, and it was a great place for them to do that with people they've known. Sarena wanted to make sure everyone knew about our cat Batman and how much she misses him. School started up in September and we've been working our way into a nice routine until October 5th came and hit the restart. Brielle Faith Dempsey joined our family at 2:37pm weighing 7lbs 1oz and snuggled right into our arms. Our other kids have been thrilled to have a new little sister, Siobhan especially who says,"my baby!" We're thankful for a safe delivery and a calm, healthy baby girl.
One of our kids answered the question, "What is the hardest and best thing about being an MK?" with this: "It's being able to make friends with people from so many places and learn about them and learn new culture; but then no matter where you go, you are missing someone or some place. When I'm in Bangladesh I miss my family and friends in America, and when I'm in America I miss my friends and home in Bangladesh." Pray for our colleagues, both expats and Bengalis, that they would be strong in faith, that they would be renewed in heart, mind, and spirit, and that we would see the growth of God's kingdom in Bangladesh.
We especially ask your prayer for our colleagues, Harold and Shawne Ebersole. Earlier this year, they returned to the USA for a couple month break. In a short time, Harold started having some significant health problems which led to the diagnosis of Leukemia. In the midst of treatments for that, Harold again began experiencing troubling problems. Recently he was diagnosed with Lymphoma as well as the Leukemia. He and Shawne have rested in God's sovereignty through all of this, but we know the pain and trials are hard to bear. Please pray for them both and their family.
Brett will be the speaker of a breakout session at the Global Health Missions Conference in Louisville November 8-10. His topic will be on the Rohingya Refugee crisis and our hospital's response. One particular cause of rejoicing this month is little 5 year old Nurul, one of Brett's patients from the refugee camps. Nurul was a very complicated case and despite Brett and the other surgeons best efforts, his only hope of long-term survival was a risky operation by a pediatric surgeon in Dhaka. Some of our colleagues accompanied Nurul and his father to Dhaka and helped with the after-care. We're so thankful for how our Father has provided his needs and healed him. Pray with us that the testimony and words spoken to Nurul and his father will soften their hearts to Christ.
Praises and Prayers:
- Praise to our Father for how he has blessed Meghan and our baby girl, Brielle, with a safe and healthy delivery.
- Continue to pray with us for Liam's friend Abe* who we mentioned our last update. Liam especially misses him and we pray that the words of Truth spoken to Abe* will bear fruit in his life. We are thankful he has relationships with several of our colleagues in BD.
- Praise God for all the ways he has provided for our family in these last several months including traveling mercies and provisions of our daily needs.
- Continue to pray for our friends and colleagues, for renewal of mind, spirit, body, and united purpose. Pray that we all would be seeking what the Father would have us do, despite the needs and distractions around us.
- Pray for our colleague Harold who was diagnosed with Leukemia and Lymphoma. Pray that despite the pain, chemo, and struggles that his prayer would be answered- that Christ be glorified.
- Pray for our kids as they continue to adjust to the USA and learning many new things about life and culture from the American side of things.
- Pray for Brett's family and especially his Grandfather. His health has not been doing well.
Thank you all for your love and support of us as we share in our Father's work in Bangladesh.
The Dempsey Family

A Silicon Valley Technology Company that Works with Wood
MISSION BELL IS A CALIFORNIA-BASED COMPANY that specializes in quality architectural woodwork, millwork and custom casework. Their work extends from the most intricate one-of-a kind quality woodwork fixtures to standard production cabinets. In addition to that, they also source and stock unique reclaimed and salvaged wood with great stories.
Originally named "Morgan Hill Millwork," the company was founded in 1959 by Leonard Scianna and his wife Marjorie, along with two other business partners. In 1963, the company was incorporated and moved from Morgan Hill to a larger building in Santa Clara.
Mission Bell operates the largest custom millwork manufacturing facility in Northern California.
Equipped with high volume, computer-controlled production and machining systems and capable of double shifts, they have more capacity to process large jobs, or turn-around quick schedules, than any other millworker in the region. They prepare custom panels in their immaculate veneer processing lab and operate multiple spray booths for finishing. In 2012, they added a state-of-the-art IntelliStore material handling system, one of only a handful of such systems west of the Mississippi.
Their San Francisco Showroom is equally unique.
Conveniently located in the heart of the Financial District, it is an ideal place for customers and design/build professionals to touch and see a wide variety of wood veneers and treatments in person. Whether you come for a "Lunch & Learn" session, or meet for a private strategy session with one of our design professionals, the SF Showroom is a place you'll want to visit. The Showroom is also staffed by Estimators and a Project Management Team, making it an ideal operational base for jobs located in the City.
- An established showroom in San Francisco's Financial District, in close proximity to many architectural and general contracting firms.
- Featuring thirty species of veneer laid up on 24″ x 84″ panels, one side bookmatched center balanced, the reverse side slip matched, illustrating the possible design nuances in various lay-up techniques.
- A library of dissimilar materials, as well as Reclaimed Recycled Material, that is typically incorporated into millwork assemblies.
- The showroom features all FSC® green material used in the fabrication of our showroom paneling, and various millwork assemblies, and is used to illustrate and discuss millwork detailing, constructability and material specifications with our clients' design teams.
- A collaborative space for Design Assist on projects and an excellent space for project management for ongoing jobs.
Reclaimed Wood
Mission Bell leads the local millwork industry in acquisition and installation of reclaimed and recycled wood products. They periodically acquire quantities of rare, high quality reclaimed wood which can be easily incorporated in your green project.
Their expertise in sourcing unique materials and manufacturing with them can help ensure that your next project is a success. They can recommend reclaimed veneer or solid stock applications that will leverage the material and keep an eye on the budget at the same time.
There is a richness and warmth that comes from using wood that has been previously used or has been saved from being discarded. Most reclaimed or salvaged wood has unparalleled architectural quality and character – and often an interesting story that makes it especially attractive for projects.

Tomio, Davide (Frederiksberg, 2017)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The first essay investigates how credit risk, the risk that a bond issuer will default, affects bond market liquidity. Specifically, we depart from the current literature in that we analyze the direct and indirect channels through which credit risk affects market liquidity, rather than determining whether both are priced in the bond. We focus on the Italian sovereign bond market, which allows us to determine how central bank interventions affect the sensitivity of the liquidity provision by market makers to default risk. We motivate our empirical analysis with a simple model of a risk averse market maker, holding an inventory of a risky asset and setting her optimal marginal quotes (and, therefore, the optimal bid-ask spread), in the presence of margin constraints and borrowing costs. The margins, set by a clearing house, depend on the risk of the asset, as measured by the CDS spread, and the actions of the central bank. The CDS market is fundamental to the market maker's and the clearing house's decisions, since it is from the CDS market that they deduce the future volatility of the asset return. In addition, the market maker can pledge her assets at the central bank to finance her positions at rates influenced by the central bank's actions. The model provides several empirical predictions that we test in the empirical section of the paper. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9482

Round Recap – Week 15
There were some important results for clubs inside the top 6 in round 15, as the finals picture became even more unsettled than it already was.
Melbourne Victory made a statement with a 4-0 thrashing of Brisbane Roar on Friday night, before Adelaide cemented their 6th position with a 3-1 win over the Mariners on Saturday.
Sydney FC's win in the Derby and Melbourne City's draw with Perth on Saturday night ensured that the top teams couldn't break away from the rest of the pack. Then, on Sunday, Newcastle earned their first win since round 4 with a 3-1 win over the struggling Wellington Phoenix.
Goal of the week
For Kosta Barbarouses' second goal on Friday night, it took three individual pieces of skill to setup. First, debutant Stefan Nigro flicked the ball over Thomas Broich on the turn before laying off for Berisha. Second, it was Gui Finkler's perfectly weighted cross to find Barbarouses in the penalty area.
Then, finally, the Kiwi international had to execute a perfect header to beat Jamie Young's diving effort. A brilliant team goal to seal an impressive win for the Victory on Friday:
Moment(s) of the week
It's not every day you see a missed penalty. Do they get saved occasionally? Sure. But missed? It's a lot more rare. Well, lightning struck twice on Saturday evening in Adelaide, when both Marcelo Carrusca and Fabio Ferreira missed first-half penalties for their respective teams:
Player of the Season
Aaron Mooy gained some ground on Mitch Nichols, with a 2 vote performance against the Glory on Saturday. Elsewhere, Romeo Castelen and Craig Goodwin made big moves toward the leaders:

Saturday: Western Sydney Wanderers 1-2 Sydney FC
Western Sydney Wanderers has spurned a chance to go top of the A-League table, as Shane Smeltz blasted a late winner in front of a record crowd at Pirtek Stadium.

Saturday: Perth Glory 2-2 Melbourne City
Ten-man Perth Glory have held Melbourne City to a 2-2 draw in a back-and-forth contest at nib Stadium on Saturday night.
With 7,021 fans in attendance, goals to Erik Paartalu and Aaron Mooy were offset by strikes from Diego Castro and Chris Harold, all occurring before young defender Jacob Collard was given his marching orders mid-way through the second half.
Sunday: Newcastle Jets 3-1 Wellington Phoenix
Newcastle have registered their first win since round 4, after defeating the Wellington Phoenix 3-1 in sunny conditions at Hunter Stadium on Sunday.

VAT is accounted for on an accrual and non a hard currency footing. A supplier's liability to account for end product revenue enhancement arises in the nonexempt period in which the clip of supply takes topographic point. irrespective of whether or non the provider has received payment during that revenue enhancement period. A registered individual may therefore do a claim for an input revenue enhancement recognition in the nonexempt period during which the nonexempt supply is made to him. provided he is in ownership of a valid VAT bill from his provider. irrespective of whether or non he has paid his provider. The nonexempt period will by and large get down on the first twenty-four hours of a calendar month and terminal on the last twenty-four hours of that month.
Tax returns and payment of VAT
Where a registered person's end product revenue enhancement exceeds the input revenue enhancement. the difference must be paid to the Tax Authorities at the clip the return is submitted.

The due day of the months for payment of VAT are as follows:
•taxable supplies – on the entry of the return by the 21st twenty-four hours of the month following the terminal of a nonexempt period ; •importation of goods – on entry for place ingestion. when imposts duty or excise responsibility is collectible ; and •notice of appraisal – within 30 yearss of the day of the month of the notice. Interest and punishments
Interest and/or punishment are charged as follows for the failure to: •register for VAT – punishment of N10. 000 for the first month of failure and N5. 000 for each subsequent month in which the failure continues ; •file monthly returns – punishment of N5. 000 for every month in which the failure continues ; •remit VAT collectible to the FIRS – punishment of 5 % and involvement charged at the predominating commercial loaning rate ( presently about 21 % p. a. ) ; •issue a revenue enhancement bill for nonexempt goods or services – punishment of 50 % of the cost of the goods or services for which the revenue enhancement bill was non issued ; or •collect VAT ( by a registered individual ) – punishment of 150 % of the VAT non collected plus 5 % involvement above Central Bank of Nigeria Monetary Policy Rate. Time bound for claiming input VAT

However. in line with the legislative act of restriction. which is six old ages. it is improbable that any claim in surplus of this will be entertained. VAT Refunds/ Carryforward

VAT conformity
Tax bills
A revenue enhancement bill is issued on the supply of nonexempt goods or services in support of the dealing. The VAT bill serves as a signifier of enfranchisement that VAT has been levied on a dealing. and as documental cogent evidence back uping claims for input revenue enhancement by a registered individual. A revenue enhancement bill must incorporate the undermentioned specifics:
•the taxpayer's designation figure ;
•name. reference and VAT enrollment figure of the provider ;
•customer's name and reference ;
•type of supply ;
•description of the goods and services supplied ;
•quantity of goods or extent of services ;
•the rate of VAT ;
•the rate of hard currency price reduction offered ; and
•the entire VAT payable.
The punishment for failure to publish a revenue enhancement bill for nonexempt goods or services is 50 % of the cost of the goods or services for which the revenue enhancement bill was non issued. Credit notes and debit notes
A recognition note or debit note is normally issued to take history of a alteration in the consideration for a nonexempt supply due to the undermentioned fortunes: •the cancellation of a supply of goods and services ;
•an change or fluctuation in the nature of a supply ;
•a alteration in the antecedently accepted consideration for the supply e. g. due to a price reduction ;
•a short supply of goods ;
•an unrecoverable bad debt arising from a nonexempt supply that has been written off ; or
•a return of goods to the provider.
The issue of a recognition note or a debit note will organize the footing for the needed accommodation to the relevant VAT return. The VAT statute law is non specific on what information is to be reflected on the debit and recognition notes but such paperss should incorporate sufficient information to place the original dealing and the VAT bill to which it relates.
A registered individual must maintain records and books of all minutess. operations. imports and other activities associating to nonexempt goods and services sufficient to find the right sum of VAT due. Transcripts of a supplier's VAT bills should be kept for a period of at least six old ages after the completion of the dealing to which they relate. A general statutory restriction of six old ages instantly following the last twenty-four hours of the nonexempt period in which the dealing took topographic point applies to the transporting out of a revenue enhancement audit to bring forth records. This clip bound can be extended when fraud is suspected to hold occurred. Records may non be kept outside the state. Records should be kept in the signifier of paper transcripts every bit good as in electronic signifier. where possible. For the intent of determining the revenue enhancement liability. FIRS may necessitate the registered individual to bring forth records and transcripts of VAT bills for keeping. as it may see necessary.
Specific VAT regulations
Bad debts
Where a registered individual has claimed an input revenue enhancement recognition. and the person's debt towards the provider is written off as unrecoverable. the registered individual will be required to do an accommodation for input revenue enhancement over-claimed in the yesteryear. Where a registered individual has made a nonexempt supply. accounted for the end product revenue enhancement and has later written off the whole part of the debt as unrecoverable. the relevant accommodations should be made to the VAT return for the period concerned. Although non specifically provided for in the VAT statute law. where a registered individual later recovers all or a part of the debt which was antecedently written off. end product revenue enhancement should be paid in regard of the VAT part of the sum recovered in the relevant revenue enhancement period.
Land and edifices
The Nigerian Law does non specifically exempt land from VAT. nevertheless. as land can non be expressly described as either a good or a service. the pattern is to handle land as exempt from VAT. The supply of edifices is nevertheless non exempted from VAT. The FIRS would hence demand end product revenue enhancement in this regard. which should be accounted for in the normal mode. Input revenue enhancement in line with normal regulations is capitalised as portion of the cost of the plus.
Other indirect revenue enhancements
Customss responsibilities
Customss responsibilities are collectible on imported goods at the rate of responsibility shown in the imposts responsibility duty with mention to the predominating Harmonized Commodity and Coding System ( HS codification ) .
