Greece is one of Europe's top tourist destinations; most foreign visitors come for the sunshine and beaches, as well as the heritage and history of Athens, Delphi, and Mycenae. There is, however, much more to the country than simply the Greek islands and classical ruins. Greece is developing a reputation as one of Europe's most attractive destinations for travelers seeking vibrant nightlife and entertainment, and Greece casinos are an important part of this appeal marked card tricks. Like many other European countries, Greece has a mixture of long-established casinos and newer ventures, which together offer a healthy choice of options to visitors and native Greeks alike.

Up until the mid 1990's, Greece casinos were all state-owned businesses, but this has changed in recent years, and several private companies now operate casinos in the country. Unlike some other countries, Greece casinos are not centered in the capital; on the contrary, most of the casinos in Greece are spread throughout the rest of the country, as well as on the larger islands. There is a lower age limit of 23 on visitors to Greek casinos, and an entry fee is normally charged at the door.

The largest Greece casino is situated in the Hyatt Regency in Thessaloniki, which is Greece's second city, in the north of the country. This casino has some 77 tables and nearly a thousand slot machines on the floor easy cards tricks, making it one of the biggest casinos in Europe. There are also casinos in Xanthi and the popular resort of Porto Carras, although these are not on the same scale as the Hyatt Regency Casino. In addition, there is a very large casino in Loutraki, a spa town in southern Greece. Loutraki is very popular with the Greeks, especially the Athenians seeking to escape the city during the hot summer months, and particularly in August, when many residents flee the city in search of tranquility. This casino, the Club Hotel Loutraki, is on a similar scale to the Hyatt in Thessaloniki, and both are extremely busy and popular venues.

There are also casinos on some of the larger islands, Corfu in the north, Rhodes in the east, and Syros, which is nearer Athens. These casinos are extremely popular with foreign tourists, for obvious reasons. Of all the Greece casinos, the closest to Athens is the Mont Parnes casino, which has a spectacular setting on a mountain north of the city, offering panoramic views over the entire Athens area. For this alone, the Mont Parnes casino is a must-see addition to any trip to the Greek capital.

Rule of law and equality before law are hall marks of civilized societies. Laws in money matters are aimed at , inter alia, providing a fiscal balance in the society as well as funds for development of a nation as a whole. Tax laws should be effective to achieve these goals. And like all other laws what makes them effective is trick cards the way in which people feel it runs with their interests and not against them.

In this article, as the title suggests, we would see why people do not file tax returns as required under the law. Are there lacunas in the law? Are laws irrational? Are they discriminatory? Do they promote inequality? Are they creating distortions in the system? Is it reflective of the general attitude of our society towards law of land? Or is trickle down effect of big-wigs' flouting of the constitution of Pakistan? These and similar other questions are relevant to understand the behaviour of non-compliance of tax laws in general and non-filing of tax returns in particular. So in effect, it boils down to one question- is it worthwhile to file a tax return or is escape the better strategy from the point of view of a (non-)filer of returns.

Who are required to file return of income tax?

According to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, the following persons are required to file tax returns.

(a) Every company irrespective of income earned.

(b)Every person other than a company whose taxable income for the tax year

exceeds Rs. 100,000/-

(c) Every person who was charged to tax in any of the two preceding tax years.

(d)Every person who owns immovable property with a land area of two hundred

and fifty square yards or more.

(e)Every person who owns any flat located in areas falling within the municipal

limits existing immediately before the commencement of Local Government laws

in the provinces; or areas in a Cantonment; or the Islamabad Capital Territory.

(f)Every person who wants to claim a loss for carry forward.

Prior to finance Act, 2005 the following persons were also required to file returns:

(a)Every person who was a subscriber to telephone whether mobile or landline.

(b)Every person who was an owner of a motor vehicle.

(c)A member of a club having either admission fee of Rs. 25,000 or monthly

subscription of Rs. 500/-

(d)Everyone who took foreign travel other than for Umrah, Hajj or Ziarat.

Some of the criteria looked ridiculous, however they remained on statute book for a long time. If data of the CBR given in the Year Book 2004-05 is correct, then it is a cause for great concern. Total number of NTN holders in a population of 152.5 millions is only 2.28 million. Out of NTN holders, only 1.23 millions filed returns in 2004-05. Whereas return filers are only 1.23 million and details are given by the CBR as under:

"Whereas the share of return filers to NTN holders has been around 54%, the share of the same to live cases has been 72.4%. Segregating this information into individuals and corporate categories it has been observed that within the former category (salaried and business persons and AOPs) having NTN, nearly 50% had filed their returns and within the corporate sector, the compliance rate has been around 55%. However, the compliance rate of private companies was at least five times superior to that of the public (listed) companies where it was in the range of only 10%. Incidentally, the compliance rate of the foreign companies has been extremely low at around 3%. Since this situation requires immediate correction through further research, CBR has already embarked upon an extensive effort to streamline the income tax base including the list of withholding agents."

Whereas as per SECP total number of registered companies as on 31st December, 2004 was 45028, total returns from this sector during 2004-05 were only 12526 (27.8% of registered ones) which indicates the huge task CBR faces and requires skilled staff instead of wasting time in planning what to do about 11000 officials feared to be redundant as a result of so called reforms.

CBR thinks further research is needed for correction of the situation as if it were not evident. CBR keeps harping on the same string that tax base is small and it is trying to broaden the tax net. Far from truth. Pakistan has a very large tax base. Courtesy of the CBR's policy of withholding and collecting taxes at source, almost everyone is now either tax payer or tax collector (Unpaid Tax Collectors). Even if sales tax is ignored, see the "net" of indirectly collected direct tax. The following data will indicate the number of taxpayers in Pakistan which denies claims of CBR.

Total population 152.5 Million

Labour force 45.76 Million

Unemployed 3.52 Million

1/3rd labour force below poverty line 15.00 Million

If all the balance labour force is assumed to earn taxable income, it would be 27.24 Million. Now let us see how many tax payers are there in Pakistan on account of tax collection at source from 3 venues only.

Profit and loss account holders/

Fixed or Term deposits 20.00 million

Telephone subscribers cell phone users 23.20 million

Commercial and industrial connection of

electricity (KESC not counted) 2.20 million

Tax on cash withdrawals (all accounts) 26.00 million

Apart from it, tax is also collected/deducted at source on rent paid, value of imports and exports, payments made for supplies and services rendered, salaries, brokerage and commission, from motor vehicle owners, etc.

In my humble view instead of broadening the tax base it is time to narrow the tax base. Instead emphasis should be on recovery of "due tax" from the persons who should pay tax as required under the law of land. Emphasis should be on getting returns filed where they are due. Mindless imposition of withholding taxes is not panacea to broaden tax base. Why people do not file returns when tax is deducted at such a large scale? The possible explanations might be as under:

1. The tax deducted/collected at source like electricity bills, prepaid phone cards, etc. is so small at individual level and people do not want toindulge in the process of filing returns even if they have incomes belowtaxable limits. They think cost of getting refund of their taxes would behigher than the amount of refund they would get. So they let their money remained with the CBR as unclaimed deposit. As a matter of fact, CBR should indicate figure of tax collected but not due each year so that clear picture of "due" tax collected is reflected. It is highly deplorable that CBR collects advance tax from such persons in the first instance and thenretains it unauthorizedly. True tax reforms call for return of "unduetax collection".

2. Many of them do not want to be in the "tax net" because they understandtheiractual tax liability would be much higher if caught in the "tax net."Such behaviour is not irrational even though it may seem unethical marked cards.

3. They believe the government is not worthy of more taxes as their money is not spent on them. Corruption and leakages in the system, low priority to social sectors , huge unproductive expenditure on large sized federal and provincial governments and exemptions to vested classes of the societysubdue the pricks of ethics in the prospective tax payers.

4. The departmental officials do not see beyond return filers. Once you file a return, the tax collector puts your name on tax rolls and your absence will be noticed. But those who escape this tax roll, they remain unnoticed(sometimes with the connivance of the tax officials) for years and years.Policies of the CBR reward non-filers and punish regular taxpayers. First of all they seldom issue notices to people who are not on tax rolls. The much trumpeted survey conducted by spending millions ofrupees failedto increase tax base. Rather it eroded whatever image CBR had in theeyes of people as an enforcement agency. Amnesty Schemes so often offered in Pakistan give message to the tax evaders that they would getsuch chances in future too. So why pay taxes voluntarily now.

5 Tax amnesties prove effective where laws are enforced with full vigour. It gives tax evaders a window of opportunity to make their record clean.

6. CBR has not taken any action against persons who neither availed amnesty nor paid taxes before or after this amnesty. In a culture ofimmunities and impunities no one cares such amnesties.

7. Our tax law favours tax evaders and avoiders. Taxpayer and tax-evader are two brothers. Taxpayer kept on paying income tax each year @ 35% ofhis upper bracket income for 10 years. Tax-evader never filed return. After10 years he was caught in "tax net". Notice was issued. He files tax returnshowing below taxable income. When asked to explain from where he gotmoney to purchase the plot he owned in defence, his explanation was thathe got a prize bond and he produces receipt of the same which isobtainable from the market by paying a little more than the prize moneyand tax deducted would be 10%. That is it. Instead of 35% he ends up with10% or so and no hassle of filing return over the years. All money is white now. Foreign remittance is perhaps the cheapest way to whiten your money earned in Pakistan but given flavour of foreign remittance.

8. You may purchase a plot for Rs. 15 million and CBR will ask you toexplain only to the extent of DC rates of the property. So you plough back your untaxed business profits into cash economy and at the end you will also enjoy legal cover as capital gains on immovable property is forbidden tree for taxation.

9. It looks as if the government chooses to withhold/collect tax from such sectors which it thinks would not file returns and not claim refund of taxes withheld as advance taxes. My this impression emerges from the fact that tax on commercial electricity bills is collected without any lower limit. Similar is the case with pre-paid cards. While capital gains on listedshares is exempt, tax is withheld on transactions of such shares.

Achieving tax revenue target should not be the only criteria to judge performance of the CBR. Ascertainment of actual potential of tax revenue, extent of realization of this potential, progressiveness of structure of taxation, its impact on the economy and extent of reducing income inequalities in the economic system are all relevant in evaluation of the performance. Promoting tax culture is as much need of the hour as controlling unwanted, useless, unproductive expenditure. There is a strong case for paradigm shift in attitude of CBR. The non-compliance gamble which at present swings heavily in favour of non-filers should be shifted against them. They should feel themselves at some disadvantage vis-à-vis tax law compliant citizens of Pakistan. Only culture of fairness and equity can promote tax culture otherwise you may continue to achieve targets without achieving objectives of taxation.

A state that is largely comprised of desert, it is an interesting fact that more than eighty percent of Nevada's land mass is controlled by the US military, and there are some immense bases there. When you consider that the total population of Nevada is less than two and a half million and the land mass is almost three hundred thousand square kilometers, then you will understand that the average Nevadan has a lot of space, and most of it empty, surrounding them.

Canadians love visiting the United States. Often, these Canadian tourists patronize United States casinos, sometimes winning big. When the Canadian gamblers hit U.S. jackpots, they are often surprised marked poker and dismayed when they realize their United States gambling jackpot is hit with the dreaded IRS tax on gambling winnings. Luckily there are companies offering refund management services. These companies will streamline the paperwork and deliver the fastest, most secure and most thorough U.S. gambling tax refund.

The tax on gambling winnings is applied to both visiting Canadian and domestic United States gamblers. For both Canadian and American gamblers, if the gambling jackpot fits into the criteria (e.g. the eligible games and their corresponding monetary thresholds) it will be hit with the tax on gambling winnings. The USA-Canada tax treaty guarantees Canadians the same treatment under U.S. tax laws as American citizens. American citizens can obtain a U.S. gambling tax refund with each year's IRS tax returns. While Canadians are technically allowed to apply for a U.S. gambling tax refund, Canadians are not usually allowed to file for a gambling tax recovery. Sound frustrating? It is, as the IRS has no real incentive to make the process any easier for foreigners who want to obtain a gambling tax recovery.

Canadian gamblers who attempt to obtain a U.S. gambling tax refund for themselves will often be befuddled and/or annoyed. The IRS has, and will ask potential claimants of the U.S. gambling refund to send in their passports to the IRS, and allow the IRS to keeptrick cards the passports for an extended period of time. This is ostensibly done to allow for the verification of the Canadian gambler's identity. It does not make sense, as most every other place only requires a glance at a driver's license or the social insurance numbers to prove one's identity.

Faced with these seemingly insurmountable obstacles to obtaining a gambling tax recovery, most Canadians simply give up, and allow Uncle Sam to permanently keep the tax on gambling winnings.

Yet thanks to many complaints, the United States government has licensed a select number of Canadian professional firms to handle United States tax claims for Canadian clients. These Canadian firms are formally called 'certifying acceptance agents', and will handle casino refund management services on behalf of their clients. Although casino refund management services constitute a large portion of the certifying acceptance agents' business, other United States tax issues can be handled as well. Canadians who have had tax on gambling winnings subtracted from their casino jackpots often have United States withholding tax taken from their Las Vegas rental income. Certifying acceptance agents are uniquely capable of handling the arcane United States tax laws on behalf of Canadian clients.

These are called games of chance and include games like roulette, craps, slots, keno, and bingo.

Your business card can bring you more leads, more clients and more riches…but only IF you know how to leverage its full potential. The humble business card has got to be the most underutilized marketing tool of all…yet it has the power to churn out riches into your bank account like a turbo-charged, cash-flow machine.

When I'm at a networking event I'm amazed that only 5% of the business cards I see are truly effective. The rest miss the mark…badly. First off, I invite you to rethink the function of your business card cheat poker…

Don't think of your business card as an ugly, functional parking lot for your name and address. Think of your business card as an elegant invitation to a fantastic party you're having. You want lots of people to come and enjoy the fun. With this mindset, here are five keys to leverage the full power of your business card.

1. Put a Call to Action on Your Business Card

When someone hands me their business card the first thing I do is flip it over. I'm usually shocked. 95% of the time I see the same massive mistake being made…the back of the card is blank! (Or worse, it has a small advertisement for the printing company, which indicates the person didn't want to spend the $10.00 to remove the printer's logo.)

Use the back of your business card to present an irresistible offer and reason why someone should go to your website or contact you again. Offer them a free special report, eCourse or audio with information your target market most wants. The #1 purpose of your business card should be to invite them to take the next step in your sales process.

2. Make It Easy To Write On Your Business Card

I like to make the front of my card glossy and the back flat. This way I can write a personal note on the back where my call to action is. This personalizes the "invitation" and helps people remember you out of all the business cards they already have stuffed in their pockets.

 3. Put a Photo of You On Your Business Card

Get a professional headshot and make it big on your card. You know what it's like having a stack of cards and not remembering who's who. But when your beautiful face is front and center people will remember you.

 4. Make Your Business Card Simple

Another big mistake I see is cramming marked card tricks too much info on your card. Your business card isn't there to sell people…it's there to guide people to take one, simple step – your call to action. Don't confuse people by giving them more than one website to visit. If you give a dog two bones they go crazy with confusion. When marketing your business give your prospects only one single action to take.

Avoid odd size and shape business cards – it becomes a burden for the person carrying it.

 5. Make Your Business Card Easy on the Eye

Your card also needs to be visually appealing and easy on the eye. Avoid any graphic element that isn't essential in driving people your call to action.

Avoid handwriting fonts because they are hard to read. Also avoid super small print.

I use a graphic trick on the front of my business card that's literally as old as the Gutenberg Bible. Artists for the past 550 years know that the three most powerful colors in print are black, white and red. The whole front of my card is black with white and red text. It's called a reversal. This way my name pops right out.

Also, my headshot on the front is against a dark background and I'm wearing a dark suit with a red shirt and tie – again, so my face pops right out. The back of my card is all white except for my call to action copy, which is red and black. This style works for me. Your task is to find the right look and style that matches your brand.

I recommend you spend the extra money to get the best printing possible. You want your prospect to handle your business card and feel its weight and glossy front surface. It all adds to the positive, perceived image you want to make.

The look and feel of your card is for one purpose only…to make it easy for your potential client to take the call to action you indicate. Your business card is only step one of many – it's the invitation. You must decide what your sales process looks like for your business first and THEN create your business card to support the sales funnel that will make-you-rich.

Second, the "Sound, video and game controllers" were marked with a cross or exclamation mark items which should be deleted, then click "Refresh" command or restart the Canon BP-827  computer.
Third, Refresh (or restart the system), the system will generally find new hardware, and the emergence of a new hardware dialog box asks you to install the drivers for it. Asked the driver path in the time, please insert the appropriate disk drive, and then click "Disk" button. In the pop-up dialog box, enter or select the disk drive letter (of course, you can click "Browse" button in the dialog that appears select the drive letter and path to disk), click "OK" button, the installation driver.

First check the sound card if there is a resource conflict with other hardware, especially the sound card's IRQ value, suggest that the sound card occupy IRQ 9 or 10. Then in the "Device Manager" option page to find the existence of "other devices detected" or "unknown device" option, after found the options above (Windows 98 will not recognize the device are placed here), with the mouse double-click them and delete with a sound, midi, wave the words of the project, and then restart the computer, then install the driver (method see below). Sometimes, open the "Device Manager", although no yellow exclamation point (sign of conflict), but the CANON NB-5L sound is not audible, in fact, there is conflict, but the system did not check out

Method 4, to modify the registry: Sound card driver installed, if the "Sound,video and game controllers" in the options with an exclamation mark easy cards tricks, you can modify the registry way to solve this problem.

Forth, is to run the Registry Editor Regedit, find the branch in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE System Current Control Set Services Class MEDIA contains the file name you remember the key, double-click them, and then press the keyboard "Delete" key to remove it from the registry. Restart the computer, then the problem should be resolved.

7. Sound card broken? Motherboard Questions? This is the worst result, you can plug in for a good sound card to try.

Fault 2: excessive noise sound card
Common causes of such failures occur:
1. Card is not right. As the chassis manufacturing precision is not evry high, The bad sound baffle manufacturing or the installment bad cause the sound card not to be able to unify closely with the motherboard expansion slot, on the visual obvious sound card "Gold Finger" has the dislocation with the expansion slot reed. This phenomenon is in ISA or PCI card, are common faults. Generally used pliers correction.
2. Active Speaker Speaker input connectedto the sound card output. For the active speaker, should be connected to the sound card's Line out side, its output signal without sound card amplifier, noise is much smaller. Some only one output card is still Speaker Line out jumpers on the card depends on the decision, factory default is often Speaker, so unplug the sound card to adjust the jumper.
3.Windows driver that comes with bad. When installing the sound card driver, choose "drivers provided by the manufacturer," and not to vote for "Windows default driver" If "Add New Hardware" in the way of the installation, choose "Disk" instead of from the list box choice.If you have already installed the Windows own driver, choose "Control Panel → System → Device Manager → voice, video and game controllers" sub-point device, select "Properties → Driver → Driver → Change from disk Installation. " Then insert the card with the disk or CD-ROM, load the driver provided by the manufacturer.
4. Play the video can, play MP3 No, you can put inside the audio Jieba hero to normal 22050 Hz on the line.

Fault 3: Sound Card can not "plug and play"
1. Try to use the new driver or an alternative program. I once had a sound card, under the Windows 98 disk with the original driver how to install the driver has not installed, the only place with a Creative SB16 driver, everything is normal.Then upgrade to Windows Me, not to normal and back to using Windows2000 (Full Edition) comes before the sound card drivers properly.
2. The most headaches than detected under Windows 9X Plug and Play devices has chosen to given a free hand to help you install the driver, the driver side is not used, after re-install every time you delete will repeat this problem, and not use the "Add new hardware" solutions. I reveal here a unique offerings secret trick: Go to Win9xinfother directory, the *. inf file on the sound card and then restart all deleted manually after the installation, this was 100% efficacious, the sound card has saved countless lives ... ... of course, modify the registration table can achieve the same purpose.
3. Does not support the PnP sound card installed (also applies to not use these PnP means PnP sound card installed): enter "control surfaces", "Add New Hardware" Next, when prompted "need Windows searches for new hardware required it? ", Select" No ", then choose from the list of the" Sound, video and game controllers "use the driver disk or directly select the sound card type to install.

Fault 4: Play CD silent
1. Completely silent. Using Windows 98's "CD Player" CD release silent, but "CD player" works at the normal, indicating that the audio cable is not connected drives good.Using a 4-core CD-ROM audio cable to connect analog audio output and sound card CD-in can be, this line in the purchase of CD-ROM will be included.Can use other software players may also be resolved juice cards.
2. Double-click the far right below the volume control, master volume in the pop-up panel to see CD column is not selected the mute or volume is minimal.
3.Only one channel to speak out. I usually drive about two line output signal, the middle ground the two lines. Since the audio signal line, 4 lines of different colors usually can be found from the line of color-one correspondence Interface. If only one sound card interface and audio interface or each line did not match, had to change the order of the audio line connection, usually only the two lines on which you can change.There may be the CD's volume control bar is not balanced in the middle section

Fault 5: PCI sound card appears sonic boom
PCI cards are generally used because of technical causes hang Bus Master PCI bus hard disk read and write, mouse and other operations to enlarge the background noise's sake.
Solution: Turn off the Bus Master PCI cards feature, and replaced with AGP graphics card, sound card for the PCI slot.

Fault 6: not the normal recording
First check if there is wrong plug into the SANYO DB-L20 microphone jack on the other (usually the other end of the headset is a microphone plugged into a red box red that port, or you see they have a MIC logo, if not understand, try to change the plug test), and second, double-click the small speaker on the status bar (lower right side in most, if not found, you point "start" - "Control Panel" - "Sounds and Audio Devices" - in "place the volume icon in the taskbar" before the tick), the interface that appears, select "Options" - "Properties" → "recording" in the below "Show the following volume controls", select "microphone" - "OK" in the "microphone" in the "Select "playing in front of the bait on it.
And then "Control Panel → Multimedia → equipment" adjust "mixer device" and "Line equipment", set them to "use" status. If the "Multimedia → Audio" in the "Recording" option is grayed bad it may, of course, is not no room for saving, you can try the "Add New Hardware → Systems and Equipment" in the Add "ISA Plug andPlaybus", simply the sound card software installation tool with the card after restart.
Check if there is some problem with headphones (Start - All Programs - Accessories - Entertainment - recorder, see if I could record), if recorded, that is set up correctly, or if the other party can not hear, there may be other settings are not correct, or that chat software problems, for a chat software to try. If not recorded, can put your headphones, try to get other computers. The worst result is that sound card or motherboard problems.

Fault 7: Can not Play Wav's, Midi Music
Can not play Wav music phenomenon is rare, often due to "Multimedia" → "equipment" under the "audio equipment" more than one, you can disable a; can not play MIDI files may have the following three kinds of possibilities:
1. The early ISA sound card possibly is because 16 patterns are incompatible with 32 patterns cause the MIDI broadcast not to be normal, By way of installing the software wave table to be possible to solve the problem.
2. Today, most of the popular PCI sound card with wavetable synthesis technology, if the MIDI part cannot paly is very likely because you do not load the appropriate wave table sound library.
3.Windows volume control in the MIDI channel is set to silent mode.

Fault 8: PCI sound card is not normally used in WIN98
Some people reflected in the sound card driver installation process as usual, there is no conflict occurs, but is unable to speak in the WIN98 or following other failures occur.This phenomenon usually occurs in the PCI sound card, please check during the installation process Which PCI slot your PCI sound card to insert in. Some friends for thermal considerations, like the sound card inserted away from the AGP slot, near the ISA slots that several PCI slots. The problem often occurs here, because there is a Windows98 Bug: sometimes can only be inserted correctly identify the PCI-1 and two slots PCI-2 sound card. ATX motherboard in the two next to AGP is the PCI-1 PCI and PCI-2 (in some ATX motherboard the contrary, close to the ISA is the PCI-1), so if you do not have the PCI sound card installed in the correct slot, the problem will be generated.

Fault 9: trumpet missing
Start - Settings - Control Panel - double-click the Multimedia - audio - choose "Show volume control on the taskbar",and it's ok.
