The Icthus Directive

(part 1)

16:04:22 Galaxy Standard Time

Agent Kelton entered the numbers into the menu as precisely as his exosuit gloves would let him. 72% baroque orchestra. 28% smooth jazz.

He tapped a final button, flicked off the suit’s forearm screen, and grinned as the first notes sounded gently in his earpiece. Everyone had their own blends of automusic these days, but he was proud of this one. He’d spent weeks adjusting the percentages until the jazz notes wavered just between the melody and the continuo, supporting but not overwhelming the whole.

He started the rover again. Music should help the drive go faster. The planet Nereus was known for its constant pale-green twilight, bare, jutting landscape…and not much else. Working in census compliance didn’t really set you up for trips to the luxury biosphere planets.

Just one more isolated mining settlement to go.

18:20:37 GST

Kelton jerked the rover to the left as its fat rubber tires nearly collided with yet another spiky rock jutting from the canyon floor.

He could see the end of the canyon ahead, where one wall sank back into a dusty twilit plain. It couldn’t come soon enough. He’d been awake almost a full standard day, and he’d spent the last hour weaving through the canyon, straining to see ahead. The rover’s headlights were bright enough, but they turned the rocks nearest him into knife-sharp, mile-long shadows that obscured everything in their path.

He flexed one hand, sore from clenching the wheel. Right, right again, left—around a rock that towered taller than a D-class ship. He was nearly there.

And that’s when the tire popped.

Kelton knew by instinct what the sharp jerk was even as it flung him forward. He clung to the wheel as the rover careened to the right, wrenching it into a clear spot. He slammed on the brakes and slid to an unsteady halt. The rover rocked forward, then sideways, as any remaining air left the shredded tire in a rush.

Dust clouded and swirled in the headlights. Theorbo and bass guitar twanged together in his ear.

He took a long breath, switched off the automusic, and cursed. Very loudly.

Survival wasn’t the issue. The rover carried emergency oxygen and food, even a foldable shelter in case of something like this. This wasn’t the first time he’d broken down while on a job.

But the closest company craft was on the literal other side of the planet, over in Luton. Devor had taken it to do the big, spread-out mining centers there, leaving him with the rover for the little ones. He’d told her it wouldn’t be a problem.

Knowing her, she’d decide it was most efficient to finish up her compliance visits before coming to his rescue—and she’d expect him to get his last one finished anyway.

Flicking on his forearm screen, he typed a quick message and activated his location beacon.

I’ve broken down a few miles out from Settlement A412. Rover is currently inoperable and will need to be transported for maintenance. I’ll plan to meet you at A412 at your earliest convenience.

Scowling, he pressed “send.”

Then he swung down from the rover. Boots crunching in the dusty gravel, he walked around to the back and unhooked the survival essentials pack. With a grunt, he swung it unto his shoulders and fastened the straps.

He’d rather get to A412 tonight. The shelter wasn’t comfortable.

Cursing again, Kelton switched off the rover, sending his surroundings into stark blackness. Quickly, he turned on his exosuit’s own headlight. Then he marked his current coordinates, set up the routing system, and started walking.

He didn’t have Settlement A412’s exact coordinates—that was the other problem. Its census agreements hadn’t been updated in over ten years. An embarrassment to the Milky Way Authority, on all counts—one he would soon correct. But first, he had to get to the general area, keeping his eyes open for the domed shelters that would be burrowed into the rocks beside the yawning mining shafts. And he was tired.

He hadn’t walked for more than a few minutes when he saw a figure ahead—silhouetted in the pale light just beyond the canyon’s end. It seemed to be walking slowly in his direction. He tensed a little, gloved fingers twitching towards the stun rod clipped to his thigh, then dropping again. A lone traveler, on foot, was unusual. But Nereus wasn’t known for violence or gang activity.

The figure continued its slow progress toward him. As they drew even with another and his headlight flashed over it, he saw that it was an android.

An old DG-30 unit. Emphasis on old—a long crack ran down one of its legs, and the eye-sensors were separate, mounted on top of the head. Probably a pre-biometric scanning model. No visible weapons.

It had to be from Settlement A412. But why was it ranging miles away?

Kelton took a step closer. “Directive?” he asked it.

“Directive,” said a cool, carefully accented voice. “Feed the hungry. Give drink to the thirsty. Clothe the naked. Shelter the homeless. Visit the sick. Bury the dead.”

The directive was non-standard. Not mining protocol, that was for sure. The unit paused, as if waiting.

Then suddenly it bent at the waist, reached out a rust-spotted finger, and traced a shape into the fine gray dust. Two curving lines, like segments of a circle, meeting at one point and crossing at another.

He had hoped that the DG-30 would show him the way. But the scratched shape didn’t look like a map.

Kelton leaned forward and sent a visual search query for the symbol. But the results pane at the bottom of his vision came back empty.

The unit’s two greenish eye-sensors were tilted toward him. “I don’t understand,” he told it.

It paused again, as if recalibrating, then asked a new question.

“What is your need?” The metallic voice had a touch of sympathy.

“Nothing,” Kelton began; then, remembering its odd directive in a sudden flash of genius—“I mean, I’m homeless.”

“Homeless,” repeated the android. “No place of residence?”

“None,” he answered, hoping it somehow wouldn’t scan his identity chip.

It paused again. Then it nodded.

“Follow me,” it said, and it turned and began walking.

That worked?

Kelton followed. They crunched along in silence, out of the dark canyon, and struck out across the plain. For the first time in hours, he felt like laughing. The whole interaction had been so strange—just a few words, and now the unit was taking him where he needed to go. And the shape it had drawn? He’d have to ask about it at the mining settlement.

Odd that the visual search hadn’t found anything.

Understanding GST in Real Estate: Simplifying Taxes for Homebuyers

GST implementation in India on 1st July 2017 heralded a monumental change in the nation’s tax framework. Specifically in real estate, GST applies to the purchase of under-construction properties like flats, apartments, and bungalows. It replaced multiple indirect taxes like VAT, Central Excise, Octroi, and Entry Tax, which were complex and led to higher costs for homebuyers.

Before GST: Tax Challenges

Before GST, developers faced a maze of taxes that added to the cost of projects without the benefit of tax credits. This often led to higher prices for buyers, who struggled to understand the varied tax rates applied by different states.

Impact of GST: Transparency and Benefits

GST brought transparency to property transactions by streamlining taxes into a single system. It eliminated the cascading effect of taxes, benefiting both developers and buyers. For buyers, knowing the exact GST percentage applicable to their purchase simplified financial planning.

GST Rates for Flat Purchase in India (2024)

Under-construction affordable housing: 1% GST

Under-construction non-affordable housing: 5% GST

Ready-to-move-in properties and land purchases: No GST

Benefits for Homebuyers

Transparent Pricing: Buyers now have clarity on taxes they pay, avoiding the confusion of multiple taxes.

Affordability: Reduced GST rates, especially 1% for affordable housing, make buying homes more accessible.

Financial Planning: Buyers must fund GST separately, as banks typically don’t finance this amount.

No GST on Land: Purchasing land for building homes is not subject to GST, making it an attractive option.

Galaxy Orizzonte: A Premier Residential Project

Galaxy Orizzonte, Baner, Pune, is an upcoming under-construction project offering 2, 3, and 4 BHK homes. Known for its strategic location and modern amenities, it exemplifies the benefits of GST on under-construction properties, ensuring transparency and clarity for potential homebuyers.

In conclusion, GST has simplified the tax structure for real estate transactions, benefiting both developers and buyers alike. Understanding these nuances helps homebuyers make informed decisions and plan their investments wisely.

The Importance of Understanding Tax Laws

Understanding tax laws is crucial for both individuals and businesses. It ensures compliance, helps in optimizing tax liabilities, and avoids potential penalties or legal issues. In London, Ontario, tax laws encompass federal, provincial, and municipal regulations, each with its own set of rules and requirements.

Federal Tax Obligations

At the federal level, Canadians are required to pay income tax on their worldwide income. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) administers tax laws and collects income taxes. Key aspects include:

Income Tax: Individuals must report their income annually and pay taxes based on their income bracket. Deductions and credits, such as the Basic Personal Amount and charitable donations, can reduce taxable income.

Corporate Tax: Businesses must file annual corporate income tax returns. The general corporate tax rate is 15% at the federal level, with various credits and deductions available to reduce the tax burden.

GST/HST: Goods and Services Tax (GST) or Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) applies to most goods and services. In Ontario, the HST rate is 13%, combining the federal GST of 5% and the provincial rate of 8%.

Provincial Tax Obligations

Ontario's tax laws include additional obligations for individuals and businesses:

Personal Income Tax: Ontario levies its own income tax, calculated based on a percentage of federal taxable income. The rates are progressive, with higher income earners paying a higher percentage.

Ontario Trillium Benefit: This benefit combines the Ontario Sales Tax Credit, Ontario Energy and Property Tax Credit, and Northern Ontario Energy Credit, providing financial assistance to eligible individuals and families.

Corporate Income Tax: Ontario's general corporate tax rate is 11.5%. Small businesses may benefit from a lower rate of 3.2% on their first $500,000 of active business income.

Municipal Tax Obligations

In addition to federal and provincial taxes, London residents and businesses must also adhere to municipal tax regulations:

Property Tax: Property owners in London pay property taxes based on the assessed value of their property. The municipal government sets the tax rate, which funds local services such as schools, public transportation, and emergency services.

Business Tax: Businesses may be subject to additional municipal taxes, licenses, and permits, depending on the nature of their operations.

Common Tax Issues and How to Address Them

Tax accountants in London, Ontario, often encounter common tax issues faced by residents and businesses. Here are a few examples and how to address them:

Setting reminders and working with a tax accountant can help you stay on top of these deadlines.

Understanding Deductions and Credits

What are the different types of GST Registration?

Navigating the world of GST (Goods and Services Tax) can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to understanding the various types of GST registration available. Whether you’re starting a new business or managing an established one, choosing the right type of GST registration is crucial for compliance and growth. Here is a quick guide to different types of GST Registration.

Regular GST Registration: Ideal for most businesses, this type of registration is required if your turnover exceeds the prescribed threshold limit. It allows you to collect GST from customers and claim input tax credit, which helps in offsetting the tax you pay on inputs.

Composition Scheme: Perfect for small businesses with a turnover below a specified limit, this scheme simplifies tax compliance by allowing you to pay GST at a fixed percentage of turnover rather than the standard rate. Note that you can't claim input tax credit under this scheme.

Non-Resident Taxable Person Registration: If you're a business operating temporarily in India, this registration is essential. It enables you to conduct business and comply with GST regulations without the need for a permanent establishment.

Casual Taxable Person Registration: For businesses that occasionally supply goods or services in a state where they don’t have a fixed place of business, this registration is a must. It ensures that you meet GST requirements on a temporary basis.

Input Service Distributor (ISD): This type of registration is for businesses that receive input services and want to distribute the input tax credit across different branches or units.

E-Commerce Operator Registration: If you run an online marketplace or facilitate online transactions, this registration helps you manage GST compliance related to the supplies made through your platform.

Choosing the right type of GST registration ensures smoother operations and better compliance with tax regulations. For expert guidance and hassle-free registration, visit Online Legal India to learn more about how we can assist you!

Weekly Market Outlook

It turned out to be a fabulous week of trade for Indian equity benchmarks with frontline gauges garnering weekly gains of over two percentage points and settling above their record 79,000 (Sensex) and 24,000 (Nifty) levels.

During the week, traders were seen taking bullish bets in fundamentally strong stocks in hopes of continuity in reforms and focus on the 100-day agenda of the NDA government. Sentiments are also buoyed by the expected revival in the technology space and consolidation in the cement industry.

Markets started the week slightly in the green as traders found some support after the GST Council at its 53rd meeting introduced sweeping reforms with an aim to simplify tax compliance and ease the burden on taxpayers.

Some support also came after S&P Global Market Intelligence said that the new government will likely focus on job creation and addressing farmers’ concerns in its first 100 days.

Markets extended their northward journey and looked resilient during most part of the week taking support from RBI’s statement that India recorded a current account surplus of $5.7 billion or 0.6 per cent of GDP in the March quarter. In the year-ago period, the current account deficit stood at $1.3 billion or 0.2 per cent of GDP.

Sentiments also remained upbeat with CRISIL Ratings’ report stating that capital goods makers are likely to see revenue rise 9-11% in fiscal 2025, led by continued significant outlays towards railways (including metros), defence, conventional and renewable sectors.

This compares with an expected around 13% growth in fiscal 2024. Optimism continued on Dalal Street taking support from RBI’s data showing that India’s financial position with the rest of the world improved over the year. The country increased its overseas assets more than it increased its foreign liabilities, largely due to a rise in reserve assets.

Key gauges continued to hit record levels one after other as traders took support with the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) stating that India’s economy is set to achieve significant growth, with projections nearing 7.5% for the current fiscal year (FY25).

Some solace also came with CRISIL’s report stating that India’s current account surplus in the fourth quarter of the 2023-24 fiscal was aided by the narrowing of the merchandise trade deficit, an increase in remittances and a surplus in services trade. The country’s current account recorded a surplus of $5.7 billion, which is 0.6 per cent of the GDP, in the fourth quarter of the last financial year.

However, domestic markets ended the week off record highs as traders booked minor gains on the final day of the week as participants turned wary of the high valuations. Traders also took note of a report that Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI) at its board meeting approved new criteria for a single stock F&O entry and exit, voluntary delisting norms and flexibility on the same, norms on finfluencers, measures to ease of doing business for REITs and InvITs and many other decisions.

Despite profit booking in the last session, Sensex and Nifty managed to settle above their psychological levels of 79,000 and 24,000, respectively.

Case Study: Import Duty Calculation Example

Let's consider a real-life scenario of importing electronic gadgets from China to India and calculate the import duty:

Scenario:

A company in India plans to import 100 smartphones from a manufacturer in China. The total cost of the shipment, including the product cost, shipping, insurance, and handling fees, amounts to $10,000.

Calculation Process:

Determining Customs Value:

Product Cost: $8,000

Shipping, Insurance, and Handling Fees: $2,000

Total Customs Value: $10,000

Identifying the HS Code:

The smartphones are classified under HS Code 8517.12.00 - telephones for cellular networks or for other wireless networks.

Researching Duty Rates:

The duty rate for smartphones under HS Code 8517.12.00 is 20%. Calculating Import Duty:

Import Duty = Total Customs Value * Duty Rate Import Duty = $10,000 * 20% = $2,000

Conclusion:

In this scenario, the import duty from Chinafor importing 100 smartphones to India amounts to $2,000. By accurately calculating import duties, the company can effectively budget and plan for the total import cost, ensuring a smooth and cost-effective import process.

Unlock the Secrets of Smart Property Tax Management for Real Estate Investors

India's real estate sector is expanding, with many opportunities for future expansion. According to Mordor Intelligence, the market is currently worth USD 265.18 billion and is expected to increase at a CAGR of 25.6% by 2028, reaching USD 828.75 billion in total. Despite the present rise following the pandemic, real estate has always been a secure shelter for investors seeking long-term profits. Similarly, for developers, it is a profitable path because it allows several options to not only demonstrate modern architecture but also generate a significant ROI.

However, profits earned are subject to relevant property taxes, which an individual or a limited liability business must pay to the government. Avoiding this payment results in a fine and, in some situations, harsh legal action. Regardless of the conditions, there are always methods to save money on taxes if you have the correct strategies. This article examines some of the clever tax tactics that could help investors and developers save money in taxes.

Smart tax-saving Ideas

If you are a real estate investor, you may have to pay a variety of taxes, including municipal corporation tax, goods and services tax (GST), stamp duty, registration fees, and others. With so many taxes, it's difficult for an individual to design a perfect approach for any one tax. However, with the combination of many smart techniques, a collective favorable outcome can be achieved.

Save on depreciation

While real estate can appreciate dramatically in value, it is also prone to depreciation. As a result, both investors and developers employ this method to reduce their property taxes. Depreciation can be used to demonstrate the loss of value of a property, which can dramatically lower taxable income for both investors and developers. The actual use of depreciation deductions allows individuals to avoid tax while still retaining a significant percentage of their earnings. According to the Income Tax Act, the annual depreciation rate for residential properties is 5%, while for non-residential developments it is 10%.

Benefits of Joint Ownership

Another profitable option for both investors and real estate developers is to jointly own a property. Section 80C of the Income Tax Act gives relief of up to Rs. 1.5 lakh for properties owned jointly by co-owners and financed with a home loan. Furthermore, if the co-owners generate a rental income from the property, they can divide the rental or capital gains in a way that reduces their overall tax liability. This method may be more effective if the other owner is in a low tax bracket.

Investment in agricultural land

Agricultural land in India is not only a profitable investment opportunity, but it may also be an excellent tax-saving technique for investors. According to Section 54 of the Income Tax Act, agricultural land is not considered a capital asset, hence no capital gains tax is levied on its sale. This is why this form of land is profitable in terms of both income and tax savings. Aside from these benefits, the owners can use the land for other benefits such as organic farming or fractional holdings, which can provide a passive source of income.

Strategic investments

Investors and developers must time their investments to avoid excessive taxes. To avoid a late penalty, short-term buyers and sellers must consider the tax deadline. Furthermore, the timing of purchasing building materials or making repairs early in the year is critical for developers because these actions qualify for immediate tax deductions. One effective method is to invest in 54EC bonds, which allow investors to deduct up to Rs 50 lakh on capital gains from the sale of a flat. However, one must only buy the 54EC bonds, which are issued by the Rural Electrification Corporation (REC) and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).

All things considered

For a long time, real estate has provided investors with security through quick value appreciation, rental opportunities, and long-term reliability. However, with large capital gains come a slew of taxes that can be overwhelming for home sellers. To dramatically minimize these taxes, one can use a variety of tactics, including depreciation deductions, investing in agricultural land, jointly owning a property, and strategically timing their investment.

The real estate market is expected to rise in the near future. Those who are ready to invest in properties must understand not only their taxes but also how to maximize their revenue. If there are any complications with tax planning, it is recommended that they contact a professional or use an automated tax solution to streamline their tax filing procedure.

7 Types of Taxes in Australia

Introduction:

All countries have a tax system in place, to pay for public, common societal, or agreed national needs and for the functions of government. Understanding the different types of taxes is crucial for both individuals and businesses operating in any country. In this article, we’ll explore 7 key types of taxes in Australia, shedding light on their purpose and impact.

Types of Taxes:

1. Personal Income Taxes:

Personal income tax is one of the primary sources of revenue for the Australian government. It is levied on the income earned by individuals and is progressive, meaning higher earners pay a larger percentage of their income. Anyone with over 180000 AUD income is required to pay 45% of their income.

2. Capital Gains Tax:

When individuals or businesses sell assets such as real estate or investments, they may be subject to capital gains tax. This tax is calculated on the profit made from the sale of these assets.

3. Corporate Taxes:

A corporate tax, also called corporation tax or company tax, is a type of direct tax levied on the income or capital of corporations and other similar legal entities. The rate may vary, and it plays a significant role in funding government activities.

4. Goods and Services Tax (GST):

The Goods and Services Tax is a consumption tax levied on most goods and services sold in Australia. It is currently set at 10%, and businesses are required to register for GST if their annual turnover exceeds a certain threshold.

5. Property Taxes:

Property taxes in Australia can take various forms, including land tax and municipal rates. Land tax is imposed on the unimproved value of land, while municipal rates fund local government services.

6. Departure Tax:

A departure tax is a fee charged by a country when a person is leaving the country. When individuals leave Australia permanently or for an extended period, they may be subject to a departure tax. This tax aims to capture a portion of the wealth accumulated during the individual’s time in the country.

7. Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT):

FBT is levied on non-cash benefits provided to employees in addition to their salary or wages. The tax is levied on the employer, not the employee, and will be levied irrespective of whether the benefit is provided directly to the employee or an associate of the employee.

Conclusion:

Understanding the various types of taxes in Australia is essential for individuals and businesses alike. As the taxation landscape evolves, staying informed about these taxes is crucial for compliance and effective financial planning. Whether you’re an employee, business owner, or investor, navigating the Australian tax system is a key aspect of financial management.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF INVOICES? IMPORTANCE OF INVOICING IN AN ENTERPRISE

Generally, the invoicing process is an important activity in an enterprise.  It needs to be more structured, reliable, and effective since it is the mode of asking customers to make payments and bring cash to the company.  Any business selling goods or services needs to be paid for.  Invoice is an instrument asking for such payment.  Any business enterprise needs to maintain records to keep track of transactions occurring as part of its business activities.  Invoice is a document that preserves this important transaction record related to payment.

When it comes to invoices, every industry sector has its own specific requirements.  The invoice for a construction industry would not necessarily have been the same as the invoice for any retail transaction.  That is because invoices differ on whether they are for services provided on a time-based, weekly or regular basis or whether goods are bought or sold.  On the basis of these various criteria for specific sectors, as well as for various goods and services, invoices can be classified as below’ However, in the end the invoice structure needs to comply with the regulatory requirements of each State/Country.

Types of Invoices

Standard Invoice

It is straightforward and is used to bill your services whenever a service is provided.  This will include a description of service, cost, tax,  payment methods accepted, and the due date.  The standard invoice is used by a number of industries, such as retail, agriculture, wholesale and one can add other elements like shipping, discount, etc.

Export / Import Invoice

These invoices are one of the most important documents for international trade and ocean freight transport.  It is a legal document issued by the seller (exporter) to the purchaser (importer) in an international transaction and serves as a contract and proof of sale between the purchaser and the seller.  Simply it is used for customs declaration when the product is crossing international borders.

Progress Invoice

Progress invoicing also referred to as progress billing is the process of invoicing the client incrementally for the percentage of work that has been completed by the total amount of work due.  It is commonly used in works that stretch over a long period.  It is mostly used in the construction industry that not only takes a lot of time for each project but is also very expensive

Timesheet

This is a combination of timesheet and invoice which is generally used during a project.  It is mostly used in process-oriented units.   Not only does it record the number of hours worked on the project, but it also attaches the invoice for the amount payable by the client for the amount of work done.  This is a special type that is preferred by professionals whose services are accessed on the basis of the time period for which the service is provided.

Utility Invoice

Utility invoice differs from other invoices as it mentions a due date, the amount of penalty payable after the due date, and the billing period.  Generally, these are the invoices received by a company for natural gas, electricity, water and sewer charges that the company used during the previous month or another period of time.

Recurring Invoice

Recurring invoices can be used to bill customers for on-going services.  This usually applies to the rental industry.  This type of invoicing tool works well for subscription-based businesses and utility segments as well.

Pro-Forma Invoice

This is basically referred to as estimation or a quote.  A Pro-forma invoice is a commitment to provide something.  The terms in this may change as the project proceeds.  It can be termed as Estimate or Quote and ultimately it moves to standard invoice later. Registration and Free trial are available for SmartAdmin’s invoicing software.

Sonic the Oz-Hog Act 3/12: Maximum Khanage!

Sonic the Hedgehog issue 92 AU Publication Date: 9th March 2001 Price: $4.98

No self-deprecating musings or long-winded prologues this month. There's quite a bit to cover, so let's just dive into round three of this rodent-related rabbling retrospect.

Much can change in the space of three years. Australia had come far since the release of January 1998's Sonic Firsts, and unfortunately not all of it positive. After half a decade of insistently proclaiming the policy was dead, then-Fearless Leader John Howard pulled a spectacular electoral backflip and, by the skin of its teeth, legislated the GST. From 1st July 2000, goods and services across the land were hit with a 10% price hike. The policy was marketed to voters as a means of easing tax collection by procuring money during production, as opposed to a US-style system of adding percentages at checkout. It didn't quite work out smoothly as they hoped, and the policy remains as decisive today as it was over 20 years ago.

Barely any products were spared from the increase, including publications produced locally and imported. MAD Magazine took the government to task with their infamous "GST Free" issue 377, jumping from $3.95 (cheap!) to $4.35 (not so cheap!). Comic books equally suffered; X-Men might've stopped Onslaught, but they couldn't stop the rise from $4.25 to $4.68, and for anyone not quick enough to buy issue 84 immediately, Sonic the Hedgehog spun up $4.50 to hover around the $5 mark before eventually settling at $4.95. A far cry from the glory days of 1993's piggy bank busting $2.25.

From a cynical standpoint, the GST's timely implementation felt like an attempt to monopolize on the impending tourist trade. Within two months, Australia would take global limelight with the Sydney Olympic Games, or as the late Juan Antonio Samaranch infamously declared "Syddernee!". Thousands travelled from overseas to watch the two week event, while millions tuned into Channel Seven to cheer on our teams bringing home 58 medals, an unprecedented tally which remains unbeaten to this day. Unfortunately the government's price hike failed to aid the flailing SEGA World Sydney, which closed its doors one final time a month after the closing ceremony.

Beyond a hectic few days in South Australia, the 2000-01 summer bushfire season was...n't that bad. A very surprising and much-needed reprieve before the catastrophic events come year's end. Eminem and Dido's collaboration Stan was just about to knock LeAnn Rimes off musical pole position. Steven Soderbergh's Traffic usurped Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe's thrilling Proof of Life as the countries number one film, but only one week before losing to the month-long reign of Miss Congeniality. DVD's and Wi-Fi were still foreign objects, thus Hollow Man was Video Ezy's top VHS release.

When it came to media domination however, a new king stood proud. Having won hearts and wallets throughout 1999, former children's champion Pikachu and pals were overthrown by the arrival of Goku and his crew. Initially launched on 31st January 2000, it wouldn't be until a heavy promotional push come July that Aussies fell head over heels into the world of Dragon Ball Z.

By 9th March 2001, the series was unstoppable; toys, magazines, bedspreads, videotapes, cards, Crazy Bones and virtually everything in between. Dragon Ball Z came, saw and conquered, and on that particular day, Aussies tuned into Cheez TV at 8am to lap up the premiere of Last Ditch Effort. Having suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Androids 17 and 18, the Z Warriors are left arguing among themselves as Piccolo sets out to make a life-changing decision. Meanwhile there's little Chi-Chi and Yamcha can do to assist the ailing Goku, having been struck down by the insidious Heart Virus. A situation only compounded with the ruthless Androids slowly closing in on their hideout.

It's a level of public praise Archie Comics could only envy.

The comic industry had been reeling for years. Sales were down all over the board, distributors barely getting books to shelves, and smaller retail chains dropping titles left and right. Archie had a solid track record, but columnists predicted the company would be lucky to reach 2006, sooner depending on how the Dan DeCarlo litigations went. Money was tight, and had it not been for the injection of revenue and public interest from the live-action Sabrina the Teenage Witch, even their top-selling speeder came perilously close to cancellation.

In an attempt to keep Sonic alive, editor Justin Gabrie was given the unenviable order of trimming the fat, which in true comic book fashion meant abruptly dropping all their freelancers. For several months no new stories were purchased, instead running whatever material was left on file. Unfortunately most of said freelancers had moved on by the time Archie's embargo was lifted, resulting in a 'skeleton crew' of two writers, two artists and two inkers. It didn't last, as by 2001, one artist had departed for the House of Mouse and the other publicly fired.

Issue 92's double billing of The Wrath of Khan and Sonic Shuffle: Premonition perfectly encapsulated the turbulent turmoil behind closed doors. With nobody available to draw the main story, Marvel stalwart Michael Higgins was rushed in. What should've been a happy reunion with former co-conspirator Karl Bollers was anything but, as he was given only the script and several back issues for reference. The finished product proved hardly his finest work, being unfamiliar with the franchise he resorted to tracing panels from said back issues just to meet the incredibly tight deadline. All while SEGA demanded at the last minute 8 pages be dedicated to promoting their latest game.

For all Archie's efforts getting the book out on time and into fan hands, said audience were furious once it arrived. Already incited after an impromptu interview with artist James Fry revealed newcomer Mina Mongoose was set up as Sonic's new love interest, they let it be known under no uncertain terms that 2001's first offering was a sign of the apocalypse. "Cancelled!" they hollered, with "If it makes it into next year, I'll be very impressed" and "They bury themselves in plot holes, and the artists try WAY too hard to make it look more of an anime instead of a comic book" between bitter breaths. Karl Bollers and James Fry were routinely harassed on Usenet and AIM for doing their jobs, and after spending years as everyone's favourite punching bag, Nate Morgan was temporarily sidelined to make space for Mina.

The sheer vitriol aimed towards the teen mongoose was staggering. Pointless for a comic book character, but staggering. Her design was ridiculed, her name (rumoured to be a Sailor Venus homage at the time) gutted, her super speed lauded, and her connection to Sonic (feeble as it was) lambasted. Fans labelled her as "pure fan character crap there to drive the nail into SatAM's coffin". Witnessing hate spiels on message boards became par the course, while enterprising fans littered Sonic HQ and teamARTAIL with art of Mina scribbled or outright slaughtered.

It's ironic. 2001 kicked off with fans jumping online to complain about the comic's writing, Geoffrey St. John being an underhanded jerk, and Mina Mongoose' existence heavily resented. And while the entire creative team changed between them, 2011 kicked off with... fans jumping online to complain about the comic's writing, Geoffrey St. John being an underhanded jerk, and Mina Mongoose' existence heavily resented. The more things change.

A pity life turned out the way they did. Somewhere is an alternate universe where Archie Sonic was never rebooted, a universe where I can only begin to imagine what Mina did to cheese off readers in early 2021.

Next Time: The mayhem continues in April with the revisitation of a spinoff comic equally popular as it was polarising. Until then, have a reconstruction of March 2001's personal survival kit. Life was fairly turbulent back then, but certainly could've been far worse compared to travesties going on in the world then and as now. Never forget to be grateful for what we already have and give even a minute of our times for those without. Even just lending an ear to someone worse off can make all the difference.

What are the three types of GST Registration in India?

In India, there are primarily three types of GST registration:

Normal GST Registration: This type of registration is for regular taxpayers whose turnover exceeds the threshold limit specified by the GST law. They are required to collect GST on their sales and can claim input tax credit for GST paid on their purchases.

Composition Scheme Registration: Small businesses with a turnover below a certain threshold can opt for the composition scheme. Under this scheme, taxpayers pay tax at a fixed percentage of their turnover without collecting GST from customers. They cannot claim input tax credit.

GST Registration for Non-Resident Taxable Persons: Non-resident individuals or businesses supplying taxable goods or services in India need to register for GST. They are not required to have a physical presence in India to register under this category.

These are the main categories of GST registration in India, each catering to different types of taxpayers based on their turnover, business model, and residency status.
