YOURSAY | ‘However, they should be practical and logical to follow.’ DBKL crackdown causes Chinese restaurants' costs to rise – group KK Voter: Rules are rules. They have been around for ages, so these businesses should comply. However, the issue lies with Kuala Lumpur City Hall’s (DBKL) Facebook postings about the initial crackdown, which is racial , insinuating “us against them,” “teach ‘them’ a lesson,” etc. This is not acceptable. That said, there should also be more clarity and consistency. For example, what about businesses where the brand is the signage and ordinary English words, such as 7-Eleven, McDonald’s, and KFC? Shouldn’t they also display the names of the current companies that own the particular outlets in Malay and minimise the brand presence on the signage, especially since businesses with Chinese characters as their brand are being targeted? What about FashionValet or TudungPeople? If you are serious about cracking down, then literally every business in KLCC and the other top-tier malls in the Klang Valley under DBKL’s jurisdiction is non-compliant. Furthermore, more Malays and tourists visit these places, so why is there no crackdown? If you don’t want the public to assume the crackdown is racially targeted, then don’t make it appear that way and don’t boast about it on social media, an unbecoming government body. My suggestion is to tap into the talents of these entrepreneurs, cuisine, and differences. Do not let these differences or slip-offs lead Malaysia backwards and disunite us. Dr Mahathir Mohamad belongs to a world where his imagination allowed him to be worried sick that the Chinese have something against the Malays when we do not. Malaysia is a progressive nation with so much talent, opportunities, potential and future. Let us not waste it all. This is a blessed land and a blessed people! MarioT: If there are rules to follow, then they should be complied with, otherwise there can be chaos. However, the rules must be logical and practical to follow. A Chinese outlet patronised by the Chinese community must be given some flexibility to display its characters on the signpost for clarity. It might even have some “ feng shui ” in doing so for a profitable business. The same applies to Tamil outlets. Direct translations to Bahasa Malaysia may have a ridiculous and indecent outcome. There should not be hard and fast enforcement and common sense plays a part too. MSK: Signage rules have been there all this while. To apply for your business licence you need to submit signage artwork for approval. Stop crying foul when everyone, including DBKL, overlooks the ruling. Sometimes I find it very fishy how it got approved in the first place. FitnessPro: There are so many inconsistencies in this signage saga. Firstly, why did the DBKL approve these designs? All signage at commercial premises must have DBKL’s approval first before they can be produced and put up. So, why approve, and then fine? Did DBKL themselves make a big blunder and now pass on the blame and fault to these Chinese entrepreneurs? If DBKL has erred, then DBKL should bear the responsibility for this error. Why fine these businesses when they had applied for DBKL for approval? Secondly, as mentioned, most of these business eateries target tourists from China and serve non-halal food. If that is the case, why fine them for making a wise business decision? Isn’t our local government an understanding and a progressive one? Or is this driven by jealousy and racism? Thirdly, why not tap into the talents of these Chinese cuisines and promote Malaysia positively on the world stage? There are so many economic opportunities from these things, but all we are centring on is language for signage. It is true, that this is Malaysia and our national language is Bahasa Malaysia. But as a society of diverse backgrounds, cultures and languages, why are we so intolerant of other cultures and languages? Why are the Malays, led and driven by Mahathir, so worried, so scared, so insecure and so paranoid by Chinese signages? These signages in the Chinese language are a business decision and by no means belittle anyone or anything. So why make a big issue out of a molehill? These businesses are trying to survive and make a living. Why is our local government so anti that? So many questions, and so few answers. P. Dev Anand Pillai: It has been there for decades and there has been no noise about it but all of a sudden, when there are some who decide to make some noise on it, the sleepy authorities of ours will suddenly wake up and spring into action! Isn’t this common in our enforcement culture? What is new? If written Chinese language characters are such an issue with the local Malay culture, why are we dealing with the mainland Chinese in the first place then? Our local ethnic Chinese have learnt to adapt and have no problems with Bahasa Malaysia or signage which they use in their business signage but now we want mainland Chinese tourists to come to Malaysia and contribute. How can they do that if they do not understand the signage on the boards? Why not ask how much of Malaysia’s debt is owed to China? What about Proton? Why did we allow Geely of China to become its partner? Come on Malaysia, what is happening? Koel: If there is indeed discrimination and if certain businesses are being targeted by DBKL, then these businesses should provide some evidence for this. Similarly, if the signage policy was an overnight decision, perhaps DBKL could be queried about requiring businesses to suddenly change. However, if the signage policy has been in force for a while and businesses have chosen to ignore these policies, then they do not have legitimate reasons. So this must be clarified when claiming victimisation. OrangePanther1466: I am a Malaysian of Chinese origin and I mostly dine in Chinese restaurants. Since I like to empathise with the restaurant owners, I cannot fault DBKL. The signage rules were there to comply with. Perhaps the Malaysia Chinese Restaurant Association (MCRA) can work with DBKL to facilitate orderly compliance. As someone had suggested, the fastest way is to add another signage with larger fonts in Bahasa Malaysia where possible. I appreciate space constraints are another factor to consider. Dummies Dhimmi: Yeah we all know that Mahathir pointed the finger at the Chinese, and you guys jumped to it. Of course, you want to sound fair, but it sounds hollow. Malay businesses get heaps of help with people’s money. Others have to fend for themselves. These businesses that thrive on their own also pay taxes. How many times and in how many ways will the authorities put costly hurdles in their path to diminish or destroy them? UnicornV: The signboard issue should be a non-issue. The rules around Bahasa Malaysia sign boards have been around for decades. It is your fault for not complying with something so basic. Don’t make excuses to raise prices.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Getting blown out at Green Bay following another squandered late lead the previous week against Seattle has quickly turned the San Francisco 49ers from a Super Bowl contender into a team just fighting to get back to the playoffs. If San Francisco doesn't get healthy and eliminate the errors that led to Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Packers, the focus will turn from playoff permutations to what offseason changes are necessary. “I think everyone understands completely outside and inside what the situation is,” coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday. “That’s why the Seattle game was so tough of a loss and that’s why last night was even worse. We know what we got ahead of us. We know exactly what the playoff situation is. That is what it is. But really, all that matters is this week when you do need to go on a run and put a lot of wins to even think of that.” The task doesn't get any easier as the Niners (5-6) get set to play at Buffalo on Sunday night. The 49ers are hoping to get injured stars Brock Purdy , Nick Bosa and Trent Williams back for that game, but their presence alone won't fix everything that went wrong on Sunday . The defense got repeatedly gashed early and put San Francisco in a 17-0 hole before the offense even generated a first down. The running game never got going as Christian McCaffrey has looked nothing like the 2023 Offensive Player of the Year in his three games back from Achilles tendinitis. And whenever the Niners appeared to do something right, a penalty came back to haunt them. It added up to the most lopsided loss for San Francisco since the 2018 season, before Shanahan had turned the Niners into perennial contenders. “It’s probably one of the worst ones I’ve been a part of,” linebacker Fred Warner said. “It is embarrassing. You’ve got to take it on the chin, take it like a man and move on.” Despite the doom and gloom, the 49ers are only one game behind Seattle and Arizona in the NFC West standings with six games to go. But San Francisco already has three division losses and a difficult schedule featuring games against the Bills this week and Detroit in Week 17. “My optimism is not broken by any means,” tight end George Kittle said. “We still have a lot of very talented players. We will get some guys back and I still have full trust in the coaching staff to put our guys in position to make plays. I have no worry about that. But definitely an uphill grind. We'll see what we’re made of, which I’m looking forward to.” Red-zone passes to Kittle. Backup QB Brandon Allen connected on a 3-yard TD pass to Kittle late in the second quarter for San Francisco's only TD. Kittle leads the NFL with eight touchdown catches in the red zone, which is tied with Vernon Davis (2013) for the most in a season for a Niners player since 2000. Kittle was the only consistent part of the San Francisco offense with six catches for 82 yards. Avoiding penalties. San Francisco had nine penalties for 77 yards and they were costly and sloppy. The Niners had 12 men on the field on defense on back-to-back plays, three false starts, a pass interference in the end zone and three penalties on special teams, including a holding on Eric Saubert that negated an 87-yard kickoff return by Deebo Samuel to open the second half. Rookie Dominick Puni had three penalties after being penalized just once in the first 10 games. DE Leonard Floyd. There were few positive performances on defense, but Floyd had both of the team's sacks. Run defense. San Francisco allowed 169 yards rushing, including 87 in the first quarter for the team's second-worst performance in the opening quarter since 1991. The Niners missed 19 tackles, according to Pro Football Focus, as Josh Jacobs gained 83 of his 106 yards rushing after contact. Purdy took part in a light throwing session without pain on Monday and Shanahan is hopeful he can return to practice Wednesday after missing the Green Bay game with a shoulder injury. ... Bosa (hip, oblique) and Williams (ankle) also could return this week after sitting out Sunday. ... LG Aaron Banks, DT Jordan Elliott and WR Jacob Cowing all in the concussion protocol. ... RG Dominick Puni (shoulder) and CB Deommodore Lenoir (knee) underwent MRIs on Monday and the team is waiting for results. ... CB Renardo Green (neck) and LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (knee) are day to day. 11 — The Niners generated only 11 first downs, tied for the fewest in any game in eight seasons under Shanahan. They also had 11 in the 2022 NFC title game loss at Philadelphia when Purdy hurt his elbow and in Week 2 against Seattle in Shanahan's first season in 2017. The 49ers visit Buffalo on Sunday night.

ZETA securities between February 27, 2024 and November 13, 2024. Zeta is a marketing technology company. For more information, submit a form , email attorney Aaron Dumas, Jr., or give us a call at (800) 350-6003. The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Zeta Global Holdings Corp. (ZETA) Failed to Disclose it was Artificially Inflating Financial Results According to the complaint, on November 13, 2024, market research group Culper Research published a report entitled "Zeta Global Holdings Corp (ZETA): Shams, Scams, and Spam." The report alleged that the "integrity of the Company's data collection and reported financials" is severely undermined by two factors. First, the report alleged that "Zeta has formed ‘two-way' contracts with third party consent farms wherein the Company simultaneously acts as both a supplier and a buyer of consumer data," allowing the Company to "flatter reported revenue growth" and indicating possible "round-tripping" of revenue. Second, the report alleged that Zeta's collects the majority of its customer data from a network of "sham websites that hoodwink millions of consumers each month into handing their data over to Zeta under false pretenses." For example, the report alleged the Company and its subsidiaries operate a number of fake job boards which are designed to trick individuals into submitting personal data under the pretense of job applications. The report further alleged that the Company's "most valuable data" comes from these predatory websites, dubbed consent farms, which are "responsible for almost the entirety of the Company's growth." On this news, the Company's stock price fell $10.46, or 37.07%, to close at $17.76 per share on November 13, 2024. Plaintiff alleges that during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (1) Zeta used two-way contracts to artificially inflate financial results; (2) Zeta engaged in round trip transactions to artificially inflate financial results; (3) Zeta utilized predatory consent farms to collect user data; and (4) that these consent farms have driven almost the entirety of Zeta's growth.

One of the key aspects of the proposed macroeconomic policies is to stimulate domestic consumption. By incentivizing consumer spending and boosting domestic demand, China aims to reduce its reliance on exports and create a more balanced economy. This shift towards a consumption-driven growth model will not only benefit Chinese consumers but also contribute to the stability of the global economy.

Common reasons include underpaying quarterly taxes if you're self-employed or not updating your withholding as a W-2 employee. You may also owe if you collected unemployment benefits, which are taxable. Filing taxes is a task few people enjoy. But the frustration is worth it once you receive a refund . That is, unless, you owe money. While having a balance due on your tax return can be a surprise for some, it's nothing to panic over. There are multiple reasons why you may have underpaid taxes throughout the year, from shifting financial and personal circumstances to changing tax laws. But understanding why you ended up with balance due can help you avoid it in the future. Changes in income and withholding If you've transitioned into a new job in the past year, this can have tax implications. "Changing jobs midway through the year will affect your tax liability if your income changed between the two jobs," says Logan Allec, an accountant and owner of tax debt relief company Choice Tax Relief . If your new job pays more and moves you into a higher tax bracket, you'll naturally end up owing more come tax season. But Allec says that changing jobs can affect your expected refund for reasons other than the change in tax liability . "Let's say that halfway through the year, you go from a job making $25,000 per year to a job making $12,000 per year. Unless you prepare your Form W-4 in a specific way, that second job may not withhold any federal income tax from your paycheck because your $12,000 expected total annual earnings are less than your standard deduction," he explains. So while you paid your federal income taxes on the $12,500 you earned during the first half of the year, you didn't pay any on the $6,000 you made during the remainder of the year. This could cause you to owe money come tax time because you'll have to pay taxes on that $6,000 since none were withheld during the year. When calculating withholding, each employer only considers the income earned at that job. When you have multiple sources of income, however, combining those income sources may mean you may fall into a higher tax bracket than you might with a sole employer. Increasingly, many people are earning money from a side hustle in addition to their full-time jobs. These gigs don't typically withhold money for taxes like a traditional employer does, so you may need to make estimated quarterly payments to keep up with your tax liability. If you don't, you could owe at tax time. If your side hustle brought in more than $10,000 in 2023 and you received that income through an app like Venmo or PayPal, you should have received Form 1099-K from the payment platform at the beginning of tax season to fill out your 2024 tax return. For the 2024 tax year, payment processors have to issue 1099-Ks to anyone who received more than $5,000 in payments for goods and services, even if it was only one transaction. This is part of an IRS plan to phase in new reporting thresholds, which will eventually reach $600. Unemployment benefits are taxable , but most states don't automatically withhold your taxes. Benefit recipients can usually choose whether to pay taxes through withholding or by making estimated payments. If you received unemployment benefits in 2024, you should receive Form 1099-G by the end of January so you can report the amount on your federal tax return. If you haven't paid any income taxes on the benefits you received, you may owe money when you file. Withdrawals from traditional retirement accounts are typically taxable. How much you pay depends on your age and the distribution rules of the account. Many employer-sponsored retirement plans, including 401(k)s , will implement a mandatory 20% withholding on the amount distributed from the plan, plus an additional 10% penalty if it's an early withdrawal. Often the withholding amount is enough to cover taxes, but in some cases it's not, leading to additional tax owed when you file your annual return. Quick tip: Make sure you file your taxes on time, even if you're worried you can't pay the full amount you owe, as the penalty for late filing is 10 times the penalty for late payment. The IRS offers various payment plans, which may help you avoid additional interest charges and penalties. Changes in deductions and credits Congress greatly enhanced tax benefits for struggling households during the pandemic. These included several rounds of stimulus checks, an expanded Child Tax Credit providing advanced payments to families, and a $300 charitable deduction that could be claimed alongside the standard deduction. All of these benefits have since expired, which may have an impact on your tax liability if your income has stayed the same or gone up. If your income or marital status has changed since last tax season, you may no longer qualify for certain tax credits or deductions. The Earned Income Tax Credit , for example, is only available to non-parents earning between $18,591 (single filers) and $25,511 (married, joint filers) for tax year 2024, up from $17,640 to $24,210 for 2023. Be sure to review the current income limits for deductions and tax credits well ahead of tax season to avoid surprises. Life events and tax implications Combining — or dividing — financial assets can shake up your tax situation, leaving you owing money when you usually get a refund. If you get married or divorced, be sure you have chosen the correct filing status and accounted for the increase or decrease in income when updating your W-4. If you sold your home for a profit, you may qualify to exclude up to $250,000 of the gain if you're a single filer or $500,000 if you're married and filing jointly. In order to do so, you need to have owned the home and resided there for at least two of the last five years. If you don't pass the ownership and residence tests , you may have to pay taxes on the gain. If you sell investments in a non-retirement account and earn a profit, you could be on the hook for capital gains taxes . These investments include things like stocks, cryptocurrency, mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Any stock or crypto gains should be reported on your tax return. You'll be taxed on the difference between your basis (usually your purchase price, but sometimes that includes an adjustment) and the proceeds from the sale. The amount you're taxed will depend on how long you owned the investment before selling it and your total income for the year. While taxpayers usually have to pay capital gains taxes on profits received from investments, Allec says there are exceptions, like if you have capital losses that equal or exceed your capital gains for the year. "If this is the case, you'll owe no capital gains taxes on your stock or crypto you sold at a gain because your capital losses will have wiped them out," he says. Other factors If you're self-employed and have no other sources of withholding, you're responsible for paying your taxes through quarterly estimated tax payments . Your estimated quarterly payments for 2024 are due on April 15, June 17, September 16, and January 15, 2025. If you underpay your quarterly taxes — or fail to pay them — you could owe money at the end of the year and the IRS could charge you additional penalties and interest. But you're not just paying income taxes. An employer must pay half of your Social Security and Medicare taxes when you have a job. If you're self-employed, you have to foot the entire bill yourself. However, you can deduct the employer-equivalent portion of that when figuring your adjusted gross income. If you're self-employed, it's a good idea to work with an accountant. A knowledgeable accountant will determine how much you owe for your quarterly tax payments and can give you tips for lowering your tax bill. If you're sure you should be getting a refund rather than having a balance due, you may have made an error in your calculations. If you're using tax software , consider upgrading to get one-on-one help from a tax professional. Oftentimes they will personally review your return to double-check for mistakes. If you identify an error — such as forgetting to report some income or failing to claim a deduction you're eligible for — in a return you've already filed, you should promptly file an amended return to correct it. FAQs on owing taxes Yes, you can negotiate your tax debt with an Offer in Compromise (OIC) , in which the IRS requests more information about your financial situation to determine whether you qualify to settle your debt for less than you owe. The IRS offers reasonable payment plans to individuals who can't afford to pay their tax bill in full, including short-term (180 days or less) and long-term options. To avoid owing taxes next year, ensure that your W-4 is updated to reflect any changes in your life, such as marriage, divorce, or the birth or adoption of children. If you have income that isn't subject to withholding, such as a side gig, you should calculate estimated taxes and make quarterly payments to the IRS, and possibly your state.
