The Regulatory Standards Bill is the worst & most dangerous proposed by this corrupt government and submissions on it close Monday 12th Jan at 11.59pm

That is TOMORROW so please please please submit because they are sneaking it through using the other bills as distractions!

This bill if it passed would rewrite how laws are made in Aotearoa, forcing our laws to comply with Act's extreme libertarian values: prioritising business profit over human wellbeing, environmental protection & the treaty of waitangi. It has been described as one of the most regressive & dangerous bills ever considered, and as a " legal straight jacket" for government. I've also seen it described as trying to make Aotearoa into America and honestly they're not wrong.

From the above guide:

Here is an overview of some of the key principles and some of their potential consequences:

* Selected aspects of the rule of law, including equality before the law - which may sound good but in practice can mean protecting existing unequal interests e.g. the property rights of the “haves” get protected, while actions to increase fairness and equality for the “have nots” are restricted e.g. affirmative action for marginalised groups or vulnerable natural places or resources we all value

* Limitations on administrative discretion i.e. government decision making - this would kneecap future governments from making decisions for the good of all.

* Focus on extreme individualistic rights and property rights. These rights could only be limited by legislation if necessary to protect another person’s (or corporation’s) individual or property rights. Usually the government balances a range of rights and interests, including individual rights, property rights, human rights, societal wellbeing, the environment, and te Tiriti. Governments would no longer be freely able to balance a wide range of rights and interests.

*Restrictions on taxes, fees and levies which would significantly reduce the ability of government to fund the public services and infrastructure we rely on.

*Limitations on executive decision making (i.e. ministers and departments) and the right of review or appeal on executive decisions that affect certain rights, liberties and obligations.

*Massive deregulation across the board through application of the narrow definition of regulatory stewardship.

*A strong clause on the taking or impairing of property, including the requirement for fair compensation. This is similar to Free Trade Agreements which New Zealand has decided are too extreme to sign up to as they would create huge liabilities. Under this principle any limitations on the unhindered rights to use property (including, for example, land for development, intellectual property, mining licenses etc.) would mean that the government could be sued for compensation for lost future income and profits.  

For example, if new rules restricted mining in sensitive areas due to environmental concerns or prohibited tobacco advertising to protect public health, affected companies could claim their property rights or commercial interests were "taken"or “impaired” and demand compensation. Such payouts could amount to billions of dollars, taking away money from essential services like healthcare and education to pay for corporate losses.

The biggest reason that the last two hundred years have seen a series of conflicts between the employers who deploy technology and workers forced to navigate that technology is that we are still subject to what is, ultimately, a profoundly undemocratic means of developing, introducing, and integrating technology into society. Individual entrepreneurs and large corporations and next‐wave Frankensteins are allowed, even encouraged, to dictate the terms of that deployment, with the profit motive as their guide. Venture capital may be the radical apotheosis of this mode of technological development, capable as it is of funneling enormous sums of money into tech companies that can decide how they would like to build and unleash the products and services that shape society. Take the rise of generative AI. Ambitious start‐ups like Midjourney, and well‐positioned Silicon Valley companies like OpenAI, are already offering on‐demand AI image and prose generation. Dall‐E spurred a backlash when it was unveiled in 2022, especially among artists and illustrators, who worry that such generators will take away work and degrade wages. If history is any guide, they’re almost certainly right. Dall‐E certainly isn’t as high in quality as a skilled human artist, and likely won’t be for some time, if ever—but as with the skilled cloth workers of the 1800s, that ultimately doesn’t matter. Dall‐E is cheaper and can pump out knockoff images in a heartbeat; companies will deem them good enough, and will turn to the program to save costs. Artists who rely on editorial and corporate commissions will see rates decline, all because the companies unleashed a disruptive technology without soliciting input from existing workers. If ordinary humans and working people are not involved in determining how these technologies reshape our lives, and especially if those outcomes wind up degrading their livelihoods, time and again the anger will be acute and far‐reaching. And if workers cannot even legally organize with one another to cushion the blow, there is liable to be nowhere to turn at all, no option but to dismantle that technology. The same rage fueled (and may have helped inspire) a fictional contemporary of the Luddites too. When Mary Shelley dreamed up Dr. Frankenstein’s monster in 1816, she imagined him not as a simp, the way he would be portrayed in the movies, but as a thoughtful and articulate creature who ends up chafing, violently, against his impoverished, man-made existence. The Luddite rebellion came at a time when the working class was beset by a confluence of crises that today seem all too familiar: economic depression and stagnant trade, rising inflation and high prices, excessive taxes for an unpopular war, and a government that strands unions, rules out serious relief for the poor, and declines to uphold industry regulations. And amid it all, entrepreneurs and industrialists pushing for new, dubiously legal, highly automated and labor‐saving modes of production.

[mariacallous]

It no longer makes sense to speak of free speech in traditional terms. The internet has so transformed the nature of the speaker that the definition of speech itself has changed.

The new speech is governed by the allocation of virality. People cannot simply speak for themselves, for there is always a mysterious algorithm in the room that has independently set the volume of the speaker’s voice. If one is to be heard, one must speak in part to one’s human audience, in part to the algorithm. It is as if the US Constitution had required citizens to speak through actors or lawyers who answered to the Dutch East India Company, or some other large remote entity. What power should these intermediaries have? When the very logic of speech must shift in order for people to be heard, is that still free speech? This was not a problem foreseen in the law.

The time may be right for a legal and policy reset. US lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are questioning Section 230, the liability shield that enshrined the ad-driven internet. The self-reinforcing ramifications of a mere 26 words—“no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider”—has produced a social media ecosystem that is widely held to have had deleterious effects on both democracy and mental health.

Abraham Lincoln is credited with the famous quip about how you cannot fool all the people all the time. Perhaps you cannot, but perhaps the internet can. Imperfect speech has always existed, but the means and scale of amplification have not. The old situation cannot be the guide for the new.

Section 230 was created during a period when policy was being designed to unleash internet innovation, thereby maintaining America’s competitive edge in cyberspace. The early internet was supported by a variety of friendly policies, not just Section 230. For instance, sales arranged over the internet were often not taxed in early years. Furthermore, the internet was knowingly inaugurated in an incomplete state, lacking personal accounts, authentication mechanisms, commercial transaction standards, and many other needed elements. The thinking was not only that it was easier to get a minimal design started when computing power was still nascent, but also that the missing elements would be addressed by entrepreneurs. In effect, we were giving trillion-dollar gifts to parties unknown who would be the inevitable network-effect winners.

Section 230 was enacted as part of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, a larger legislative effort within the umbrella 1996 Telecommunications Act. Section 230(c)(1) provides immunity for online services regarding user-generated content, ensuring the companies hosting content are not treated as publishers of this information. Section 230(c)(2) offers Good Samaritan protection from civil liability when the companies—or platforms, as we call them today—in good faith remove or moderate objectionable content.

After President Bill Clinton signed the 1996 Telecommunications Act into law, it was unclear how the courts might interpret it. When the dust cleared, Section 230 emerged as something of a double-edged sword. It could be used to justify censorship, and at the same time be deployed as a corporate liability shield. Most importantly, it provided the runway for the takeoff of Google, Twitter, and Facebook. (And now TikTok—which, being a Chinese company, proves that Section 230 no longer serves American interests.)

The impact on the public sphere has been, to say the least, substantial. In removing so much liability, Section 230 forced a certain sort of business plan into prominence, one based not on uniquely available information from a given service, but on the paid arbitration of access and influence. Thus, we ended up with the deceptively named “advertising” business model—and a whole society thrust into a 24/7 competition for attention. A polarized social media ecosystem. Recommender algorithms that mediate content and optimize for engagement. We have learned that humans are most engaged, at least from an algorithm’s point of view, by rapid-fire emotions related to fight-or-flight responses and other high-stakes interactions. In enabling the privatization of the public square, Section 230 has inadvertently rendered impossible deliberation between citizens who are supposed to be equal before the law. Perverse incentives promote cranky speech, which effectively suppresses thoughtful speech.

And then there is the economic imbalance. Internet platforms that rely on Section 230 tend to harvest personal data for their business goals without appropriate compensation. Even when data ought to be protected or prohibited by copyright or some other method, Section 230 often effectively places the onus on the violated party through the requirement of takedown notices. That switch in the order of events related to liability is comparable to the difference between opt-in and opt-out in privacy. It might seem like a technicality, but it is actually a massive difference that produces substantial harms. For example, workers in information-related industries such as local news have seen stark declines in economic success and prestige. Section 230 makes a world of data dignity functionally impossible.

To date, content moderation has too often been beholden to the quest for attention and engagement, regularly disregarding the stated corporate terms of service. Rules are often bent to maximize engagement through inflammation, which can mean doing harm to personal and societal well-being. The excuse is that this is not censorship, but is it really not? Arbitrary rules, doxing practices, and cancel culture have led to something hard to distinguish from censorship for the sober and well-meaning. At the same time, the amplification of incendiary free speech for bad actors encourages mob rule. All of this takes place under Section 230’s liability shield, which effectively gives tech companies carte blanche for a short-sighted version of self-serving behavior. Disdain for these companies—which found a way to be more than carriers, and yet not publishers—is the only thing everyone in America seems to agree on now.

Trading a known for an unknown is always terrifying, especially for those with the most to lose. Since at least some of Section 230’s network effects were anticipated at its inception, it should have had a sunset clause. It did not. Rather than focusing exclusively on the disruption that axing 26 words would spawn, it is useful to consider potential positive effects. When we imagine a post-230 world, we discover something surprising: a world of hope and renewal worth inhabiting.

In one sense, it’s already happening. Certain companies are taking steps on their own, right now, toward a post-230 future. YouTube, for instance, is diligently building alternative income streams to advertising, and top creators are getting more options for earning. Together, these voluntary moves suggest a different, more publisher-like self-concept. YouTube is ready for the post-230 era, it would seem. (On the other hand, a company like X, which leans hard into 230, has been destroying its value with astonishing velocity.) Plus, there have always been exceptions to Section 230. For instance, if someone enters private information, there are laws to protect it in some cases. That means dating websites, say, have the option of charging fees instead of relying on a 230-style business model. The existence of these exceptions suggests that more examples would appear in a post-230 world.

Let’s return to speech. One difference between speech before and after the internet was that the scale of the internet “weaponized” some instances of speech that would not have been as significant before. An individual yelling threats at someone in passing, for instance, is quite different from a million people yelling threats. This type of amplified, stochastic harassment has become a constant feature of our times—chilling speech—and it is possible that in a post-230 world, platforms would be compelled to prevent it. It is sometimes imagined that there are only two choices: a world of viral harassment or a world of top-down smothering of speech. But there is a third option: a world of speech in which viral harassment is tamped down but ideas are not. Defining this middle option will require some time to sort out, but it is doable without 230, just as it is possible to define the limits of viral financial transactions to make Ponzi schemes illegal.

With this accomplished, content moderation for companies would be a vastly simpler proposition. Companies need only uphold the First Amendment, and the courts would finally develop the precedents and tests to help them do that, rather than the onus of moderation being entirely on companies alone. The United States has more than 200 years of First Amendment jurisprudence that establishes categories of less protected speech—obscenity, defamation, incitement, fighting words—to build upon, and Section 230 has effectively impeded its development for online expression. The perverse result has been the elevation of algorithms over constitutional law, effectively ceding judicial power.

When the jurisprudential dust has cleared, the United States would be exporting the democracy-promoting First Amendment to other countries rather than Section 230’s authoritarian-friendly liability shield and the sewer of least-common-denominator content that holds human attention but does not bring out the best in us. In a functional democracy, after all, the virtual public square should belong to everyone, so it is important that its conversations are those in which all voices can be heard. This can only happen with dignity for all, not in a brawl.

Section 230 perpetuates an illusion that today’s social media companies are common carriers like the phone companies that preceded them, but they are not. Unlike Ma Bell, they curate the content they transmit to users. We need a robust public conversation about what we, the people, want this space to look like, and what practices and guardrails are likely to strengthen the ties that bind us in common purpose as a democracy. Virality might come to be understood as an enemy of reason and human values. We can have culture and conversations without a mad race for total attention.

While Section 230 might have been considered more a target for reform rather than repeal prior to the advent of generative AI, it can no longer be so. Social media could be a business success even if its content was nonsense. AI cannot.

There have been suggestions that AI needs Section 230 because large language models train on data and will be better if that data is freely usable with no liabilities or encumbrances. This notion is incorrect. People want more from AI than entertainment. It is widely considered an important tool for productivity and scientific progress. An AI model is only as good as the data it is trained on; indeed, general data improves specialist results. The best AI will come out of a society that prioritizes quality communication. By quality communication, we do not mean deepfakes. We mean open and honest dialog that fosters understanding rather than vitriol, collaboration rather than polarization, and the pursuit of knowledge and human excellence rather than a race to the bottom of the brain stem.

The attention-grooming model fostered by Section 230 leads to stupendous quantities of poor-quality data. While an AI model can tolerate a significant amount of poor-quality data, there is a limit. It is unrealistic to imagine a society mediated by mostly terrible communication where that same society enjoys unmolested, high-quality AI. A society must seek quality as a whole, as a shared cultural value, in order to maximize the benefits of AI. Now is the best time for the tech business to mature and develop business models based on quality.

All of this might sound daunting, but we’ve been here before. When the US government said the American public owned the airwaves so that television broadcasting could be regulated, it put in place regulations that supported the common good. The internet affects everyone, so we must devise measures to ensure that our digital-age public discourse is of high quality and includes everyone. In the television era, the fairness doctrine laid that groundwork. A similar lens needs to be developed for the internet age.

Without Section 230, recommender algorithms and the virality they spark would be less likely to distort speech. It is sadly ironic that the very statute that delivered unfathomable success is today serving the interests of our enemies by compromising America’s superpower: our multinational, immigrant-powered constitutional democracy. The time has come to unleash the power of the First Amendment to promote human free speech by giving Section 230 the respectful burial it deserves.

Brazil’s tax reform journey: a long road, with further challenges ahead

Fernando Silva of Vertex provides a guide to the ambitious transformation of Brazil’s complicated tax landscape, and says careful navigation will be required to negotiate dual VAT and phased implementation

Brazil’s tax system has long been ranked among the most complicated and least efficient in the world. This frustrates citizens, domestic and foreign corporations, investors, and tax authorities alike, with multiple layers of taxation governed by overlapping and often conflicting sets of rules. But now that is changing. After 30 years of innumerous attempts, Brazil’s government is embarking on what is arguably the most ambitious tax transformation in the country’s history. 

The measure, passed in December 2023, sets up a more transparent tax system that simplifies an outdated collection process for the production and sale of goods and the provisioning of services. Removing complexity from tax terms, conditions, and rules alone could significantly improve Brazil’s business environment, increase productivity, and boost investments in the country.

But while Brazil’s tax reform promises long-term clarity, in the near term it will likely bring additional challenges. There will be a phase-in period of between seven and 10 years that will force companies and tax preparers to learn a new set of rules and comply with two different, and sometimes contradictory, systems.

How to Register a Company in the EU: A Step-by-Step Guide by Euro Company Formations

The European Union (EU) is an attractive location for entrepreneurs looking to expand their businesses into a market of over 450 million consumers. The EU's seamless internal market, robust legal framework, and favorable business environment make it a hotspot for both startups and established businesses.

At Euro Company Formations, we help businesses navigate the complexities of EU company registration, offering expertise and guidance every step of the way. This article provides an overview of the EU registration process and the benefits of incorporating within the EU.

Why Register a Company in the EU?

Register a company in the EU offers numerous advantages:

Access to a Large Market: With 27 member countries, the EU is one of the world's largest markets, providing ample opportunity for business growth.

Favorable Business Regulations: The EU provides clear regulations on trade, intellectual property, and consumer protection, giving businesses a stable environment.

Free Movement of Goods, Services, and Capital: Once established in one EU country, your business can trade freely across the entire EU without additional tariffs or complex regulatory barriers.

Tax Benefits: Many EU countries offer tax incentives and advantages to new businesses, especially those in innovation and technology sectors.

Steps to Registering a Company in the EU

1. Choose Your Business Structure

The EU allows different types of business structures, including Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), Sole Proprietorships, and Public Limited Companies. Choosing the right structure impacts your tax liabilities, personal liability, and reporting requirements. Euro Company Formations can help you select the structure that best suits your business model.

2. Choose a Country for Registration

Each EU country has its own regulations, so it’s essential to choose a country that aligns with your business goals. For instance, Ireland and Estonia are popular for tech startups due to favorable tax regimes and online accessibility.

3. Register Your Business Name

You’ll need to check that your desired business name is available in the chosen country’s commercial register. The name must be unique and comply with any naming conventions.

4. Prepare Required Documents

Most countries require basic documents, including:

Articles of association (company bylaws)

Proof of identity for directors and shareholders

Proof of registered office address

In many cases, you’ll also need to provide proof of funds if starting a capital-intensive business. Euro Company Formations offers services to help organize these documents and ensure compliance with local regulations.

5. Register with Tax Authorities

Once your company is legally established, you must register with the relevant tax authorities for VAT, corporation tax, and, in some cases, employee payroll taxes.

6. Obtain Necessary Licenses and Permits

Depending on your industry, you may need specific licenses to operate legally within the EU. This includes permits for regulated sectors like finance, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals.

7. Open a Business Bank Account

Opening a business bank account in the EU simplifies transactions and helps establish credibility. Many banks require proof of company registration, identification of the company's directors, and sometimes even a business plan.

Why Choose Euro Company Formations?

At Euro Company Formations, we simplify the process by offering personalized guidance and support tailored to your business needs. Our experienced team has in-depth knowledge of each EU country’s specific requirements, ensuring your company registration is smooth and hassle-free.

For residents and business owners in Karnal, finding the best CA is essential for effective tax planning, financial management, and compliance with legal requirements.

In this guide, we’ll discuss how to choose the best CA in Karnal to meet your personal and corporate tax needs, what qualities to look for, and how the right CA can provide solutions that maximize savings and ensure compliance.

Personal Tax Planning: They help individuals optimize their tax filings by identifying deductions, exemptions, and rebates to reduce tax liabilities legally.

Corporate Tax Management: For businesses, a CA ensures accurate corporate tax filings and advises on strategies to reduce tax burdens while complying with all laws.

Key Qualities to Look for in a Chartered Accountant in Karnal

When selecting a CA in Karnal for personal or corporate tax solutions, there are several key factors to consider.

These qualities will help ensure that the CA you choose can meet your specific financial needs and provide excellent service.

1. Qualifications and Certifications

The first thing to check when selecting a CA is their qualifications. Ensure that the chartered accountant is certified by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), which guarantees that they have met all the necessary educational and professional standards.

Additionally, look for any specialized certifications or training that indicate expertise in specific areas, such as GST, international taxation, or corporate finance.

2. Experience and Industry Knowledge

Experience is one of the most important factors when choosing a CA. An experienced CA in Karnal will have a thorough understanding of local tax laws and regulations, as well as knowledge of different industries.

A CA who has worked with a diverse client base, including individuals, small businesses, and large corporations, will be well-equipped to handle your unique tax and financial challenges.

For corporate tax solutions, look for a CA who has experience with businesses of a similar size and industry as yours. They will be familiar with sector-specific tax strategies, regulatory requirements, and best practices, ensuring you receive tailored advice that suits your business model.

A CA's reputation is a good indicator of their professionalism and quality of service. Look for reviews, testimonials, and word-of-mouth recommendations from current or former clients.

The best CAs in Karnal will have a track record of delivering timely, accurate, and reliable tax solutions. You can also ask for references from other local business owners or individuals who have used their services.

Your CA should regularly communicate any opportunities for tax savings, identify potential risks, and help you stay compliant with evolving regulations.

5. Communication Skills and Transparency

Clear and effective communication is essential when working with a CA. Financial jargon and complex tax laws can be confusing, so you want a CA who can explain things in a way that’s easy to understand.

They should be transparent about their processes, fees, and timelines, ensuring that there are no hidden surprises. Regular updates and open channels of communication will give you peace of mind, knowing that your tax matters are being handled professionally.

6. Technological Expertise

In 2024, a modern CA needs to be well-versed in using accounting software, cloud-based systems, and other technological tools. Technology can help streamline financial processes, improve accuracy, and ensure timely filings.

Make sure the CA you choose uses the latest tools and platforms to enhance their services. This is particularly important for corporate clients who deal with large volumes of financial data.

7. Cost-Effectiveness

While it’s important to hire a CA with the right expertise, you also want to ensure their services are cost-effective. Legalari Compare the fees of different CAs in Karnal and see what services are included.
