  2. Re:Wow... on If IP Is Property, Where Is the Property Tax? · · Score: 1

    Here is a thought what about

    you only pay tax on IP if you have more than 5 IP's in your name ? Corporations have to pay tax on >=1 IP's

  3. Re:Wow... on If IP Is Property, Where Is the Property Tax? · · Score: 1

    I don't think a tax free period a tax deferred period, with the ability to adjust the value based on actual value over the past 5 years.

    Ent A, invest wigget alpha, interesting but not earth shaking, value $1000
    4 years later, having spent $2000 on it to develop further he has a deferred tax of [tax rate] * $1000 * 4 - tax deductions

    Year 5 comes along and another widget has been invented, which when put with widget alpha gives us 80% more efficiency on {petrol|fuel|....}. so Ent A can revalue his IP up to say $1M (or what ever he is being offered at the time). The re evaluation goes through at the time of the first transaction (or maybe gets back dated ???). He can afford to pay tax's because he is being paid for his IP

    I think this is a great idea. It simple and fits in with what we have, also it would be self sufficient.

    Would love to see the music industry pay taxes on their $1000 / song catalogue.

    What about this analogy.

    Gun manufactures, they argue it is not the gun that kills, it is the bad people that kill.

    It is not open share on my share that violates copyright, it is those bad people that copy the stuff from my shares.

    May I need to stick a notice on the share that says coping copyrighted material is illegal.
