BobTheTaxMan   It does not qualify [reference post 2] …I’m going to make it real simple for you.  My research has shown this…It’s going to be treated as ordinary income and that’s that.  Now, what would happen if you elected to do it as capital gains and file your return?  Here’s what will happen…if you are incorrect and it comes back it will take two years before you hear from them.  The amount of penalties and interest that is going to be accumulated over that two year time frame is…going to be big.  So you have a choice.  On my side I tell people treat it as ordinary income.  Yeah you’re going to pay more taxes.  That’s true you’re going to pay more taxes on it but I do know this much, within 3 years, because you have three years to amend that return to get money back, within three years somewhere along the line someone is going to get a Letter of Definition from the IRS that definitively says this is how we’re taxing it…and/or there might be rule changes in the IRS that converts this from ordinary income to capital gains.  That might happen.  I’ve seen it before. [Post 3… ]

BobTheTaxMan    1.  I have had a lot of people send me email saying, “ This person is saying this is going to be capital gains and NOT be ordinary income.”  I’ve even been sent long convoluted processes someone has created for being able to move money in different ways so that the categorization was redone.  I’ll tell you from my own studies, one of the things when I got into this thing over a decade ago…I spent a lot of time researching it.  I contacted Several of my financial advisors who worked with their tax attorneys.  I got the leading CPA of the east coast who deals in Foex currency exchanges and his research came up with the exact same thing that the attorneys came up with.  And that is there are two ways that people might misconstrue that this is supposed to be taxed as capital gains. I can tell you right now from the research they did and my own research the dinar does NOT qualify.  [Post 2 of… ]

BobTheTaxMan   For those of us who have been riding this cotton picking train of the dinar for so long you couldn’t get a better tax opportunity than we have now.  It’s just absolutely freaking amazing what we have.  The new rules brought in under the Trump Administration give us so much leeway and so much opportunity to be able to save on taxes, to share this with everyone we love, less consequences. The whole tax planning game has changed immensely because of the changes in 2018  and 2019…As Paul Harvey used to say, “Here’s the rest of the story.”  There are some things about the IRS, particularly those who come into a lot of money in a hurry that have certain triggering points.  I’ve got three of those I want to talk to you about.  [Post 1 of… ]

Delta – Dinar Guru NOTHING MAKES SENSE WITH IRAQ…LOL… BUT IMO IT’S COMING…

MilitiaMan – Dinar Guru   Article:  “Report: More than one million people visited the Baghdad International Fair”  If one were to have watched Trump talking to the Farmer on Friday, one may want to smile. Trade. Fair Trade…

Don961 – Dinar Guru  Article:  “Iran : The busy days of ATMs / new banknotes began”    imo … this may be a sample of the type of article we may witness concerning Iraq’s currency in ATMs in the future …freely speaking about new banknotes being distributed … plain language … no guessing … no cryptic language or meanings … just business as usual …

Kaperoni – Dinar Guru  Some still want to believe in an overnight event such as a RV or RI.  But it is physically impossible for the CBI do such a thing.  To much money in circulation, could never afford it, nor does it make any scientific/logical sense.  What does make sense is for Iraq to raise the value gradually.  Such an event would allow for the reduction of dinar, allow for the CBI to profit from the appreciation and reduce inflation as investors/investment comes into Iraq.

EHankins – Dinar Guru   “REPORT: IRAQ ANNOUNCES THE DISMANTLING OF THE LARGEST FUNDING NETWORK FOR “DAHESH”  Quote:  “A recent report said that the State of Iraq announced the dismantling of the largest funding network of the group “Daash” terrorist.”  …stopping the thievery and future potential corruption obviously is a very wise move of opportunity just imagine the possibilities of what the bad guys could have would have done with the stronger dinar when the RI happened … It is extremely encouraging seeing them stopped…

Delta – Dinar Guru   “REPORT: IRAQ ANNOUNCES THE DISMANTLING OF THE LARGEST FUNDING NETWORK FOR “DAHESH”  Quote:  “A recent report said that the State of Iraq announced the dismantling of the largest funding network of the group “Daash” terrorist.”   …IMO THAT IS WHY THE CBI DID NOT RI YET… BUT NOW IT’S CLEAR TO GO…THIS IS HUGE…ALSO THEY WERE USING THE CBI AUCTIONS FOR FUNDING…THAT’S WHY IMO THEY HAVE TO STOP THE AUCTIONS ASAP..

Kaperoni – Dinar Guru   …the IMF cannot force CBI to do anything…that being said the CBI is a member in the IMF and agreed to the conditions of that membership and one of the conditions stated says member countries have to strive for Article VIII as soon as possible.  So I do not think the CBI will drag their feet to meet move from Article XIV to VIII much longer when that is the intent in the plan.

EHankins – Dinar Guru  Article:  “Signing a commercial economic agreement between Iraq and Kuwait”  Quote:  “the Iraqi-Kuwaiti agreement is a first step in the right direction to activate economic and trade relations and overcome the problems of the previous phase.”   [This is a significant piece to understanding where we are in the MR…we are at the doorstep to our reward.  Just ask yourself, why was this done now and so quickly.] I couldn’t agree more …. in my opinion this screams we indeed are on the other side …. both feet planted firmly because we have been prepared in advance.

Chattels – Dinar Guru   Article:  “Iraq strengthens its reserves of gold to 96 tons”  Countries such as Iraq, India, China and Kazakhstan were among the top gold buyers in 2018. According to data, Iraq increased its reserves last year by 6.45 tons, bringing its total gold holdings to 96.3 tons.

Adam Montana – Dinar Guru    I spend hours every day researching and communicating with my people on the Iraqi Dinar, international business, asset protection, etc…There are people I work with who know how important it is to get me my information by Tuesday, and are extremely dedicated to their roles…  Today is short and sweet. There is nothing negative to report – Parliament is working, OIL is still going the right way, and my gut tells me they are just kicking a few last details around.   If something counter productive were to happen right now, I’d take a harder look at things… but that’s not the case.  Everything is lining up!  Parliament: still working, and working effectively. OIL: still moving towards $60, and doing it steadily.  The only thing we can ask for right now is that BOOM! HCL news.  Keep your heads on straight! This really feels like the home stretch.

Chattels – Dinar Guru   Article:   “Tuesday, February 19, 2019  Security In Iraq Feb 8-14, 2019”   There was another week with few security incidents in Iraq. For almost four months now the country has averaged 20-30 security events each week and the second week of February was no different.

Kaperoni – Dinar Guru   If and when the CBI begins to float the dinar it could take 6 months to 2 years to delete the zeros (raise the value enough where the zeros are gone).  Remember if the CBI is going to do this event it will be in conjunction with investment capital coming to Iraq.  The more capital the greater the inflationary pressure meaning the faster it could rise.  The 2012 IMF Article IV Consultation with Iraq described the process and event as the Balassa-Samuelson effect.

Kaperoni – Dinar Guru    Things have been pretty uneventful…the last few weeks or so because Parliament has been on recess. Look for things to pick up in March…

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   I want to make one other point here too and that is the connection of the RV to the Iranian influence and militias. So how can they stop the auctions and launch the lower denoms and thus raise the rate if the militias are going to cause trouble and spread counterfeit currency only causing a disaster in the dinar rate anyhow. So like I have been saying all along, they must get rid of the Iranian influence if they are ever going to RV.  [post 2 of 2]

Delta – Dinar Guru   VERY INTERESTING NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE…
Iraq customs

• 50 cigars or
• 250 grammes of tobacco
• Up to 1 litre in wines or spirits
• 500 ml of perfume in two small opened bottles

[…with program rate on dinars why bother with the export of dinars or import of dinars.]   […the CBI still says 1190…]  IMO NOT FOR LONG…

Dinar News Update   The CBI has crossed the 2% for 90 Days rule for the Iraq Exchange Market.  The CBI had accomplished this for the Baghdad Market last summer.  The CBI began reporting the Iraq Market rate on November 14, 2019 which included three decimal places.   Some feel these rates must be within 2% of each other before the IMF can consider the dinar for Article VIII.

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   Article:  “THE FUTURE FATE OF THE IRAQI CURRENCY AUCTIONS”   …these currency auctions are doing more harm to Iraq than good. They are no longer necessary and outlived their usefulness. They were supposed to help Iraq get through the sanctions but apparently now they are helping Iran through their sanctions using Iraqi funds. …when the CBI tells us there is still POLITICAL INSTABILITY and ECONOMIC INSTABILITY this is what they mean. So now we get some insight as to what they have been saying all along. We now know the situation as to why the NSA stopped the RV twice in January. [post 1 of 2]

MilitiaMan – Dinar Guru   Article:  “Customs: We will begin the unification of customs procedures at all ports as of tomorrow”    …They moved it up from the 17th, so for those that suggest Iraq is always late, they in fact this time early… I love that pattern change.. Bring on the lifting of the exchange rate with no lag time.. lol    …Then we await the lifting of the three zeros from the exchange rate, thus, CBI should be screaming at us…lol.

Delta – Dinar Guru   Article:  “Customs: We will begin the unification of customs procedures at all ports as of tomorrow”   Mawazine News.  published the new pricing of customs in all ports of Iraq custom base on international code…pricing base on international code.

MarkZ – Dinar Guru I am still hearing there will be no taxes on Dinar and dong exchanges…There is a tax treaty involved with this.  …Waiting for news out of Iraq…hopefully we will hear by tonight. Expecting to see news from [Guru] Frank26…he is the best source on Iraq…expecting a whole lot out of CBI today…I am also hearing there will be great security at the bank..and in the parking lot…I am not worried about security…There is a good chance I will be doing another update today.  Based on what I’m hearing and reading…As far as rates I am hearing street rate dinar 4.43 dong..2.20 to 2.25. Hopefully I will know more later today…

BGG ~ I would be VERY, VERY cautious with information such as this. This IGNORANCE will get someone into DEEP trouble with the IRS.

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   Article…December 10, 2014:  “RAFIDAIN BANK IN DHI QAR CONFIRMS THAT THE INTRODUCTION OF ATM DEPENDS ON THE CURRENCY”   Quote:  “…the introduction of ATM in the markets and banks ARE SUBJECT TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DECISION TO DELETE ZEROS FROM THE IRAQI CURRENCY...”  …don’t anyone tell me that bringing these ATMs online and filling them with dinar is not part of the plan of project to delete the zeros. Here is the article in black and white…Here is the proof.

Delta – Dinar Guru   Article:  “Customs: The implementation of the agreement signed with Kurdistan as of tomorrow 15-02-2019”   ADDING TAXES MEANS PRICES HAVE TO INCREASE AT LEAST BY 10 -30%…THAT WILL CAUSE INFLATION IN PRICES INSIDE IRAQ AND DEMONSTRATION  FROM IRAQI…SO THE GOV AND CBI HAVE TO GIVE SOME POWER OF PURCHASE…STARTING THE TAXES FINALLY AFTER SO MANY YEARS IS ONE OF THE BEST NEWS SO FAR SHOULD GET ALL OF US HAPPY…THERE WAS ONLY 2 THINGS LIFT FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO MOVE TO ARTICLE VIII… 1 – TAXES…WILL BE DONE TOMORROW… 2 – LIFT THE 000 ZEROS…

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   …old article from 2014… Article:  “DELETION OF ZEROS IN 2014 NOW EARLY 2015…PROJECT IS READY AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A DEFERRED PROJECT”  It is now already 2019 and so four years plus passed already. Where is the RV?  This project to delete the zeros is so long, long overdue. Each time we go through an election cycle with a new government we have to start convincing everyone all over again to do it and the importance of it. I think we are so close I can hardly wait.

Adam Montana – Dinar Guru    I’m actually very pleased to see the steady growth of oil, rather than a sudden spike. This “controlled growth” is exactly what I would want if I were Captain of the CBI, because it shows stability in the main area that needs it.  All of these things are coming together for us, creating the perfect situation. Obviously things can, and will, come up. I don’t have an exact date for you, and I never will. But that sure won’t stop me from being excited about what we’re in the middle of right now!  Overall, things are just looking dandy.   [post 2 of 2]

Adam Montana – Dinar Guru  The RV train is still chugging along, with nothing but positive steam powering these updates…suffice it to say that we’re in a pretty spot! NOTHING has detracted from the good news on HCL.  WE STILL have momentum on the budget, which is currently WAY AHEAD OF NORMAL. And I’ll sweeten it up just a little bit with this – you remember that $60 mark I mentioned about a month ago?  YEP, STILL GOING THE RIGHT WAY!  Oil is creeping up on $56 as I write this.  That’s halfway to my mark of $60…and going strong!    [post 1 of 2]

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   …Remember as I said many times we will see a rate change within Iraq as close to 1000 dinars or lower per USD first, then the CBI must launch the smaller notes or the economy will not have any currency they can work with.  So now we see the CBI program rate as record lows coming into this week and so we should expect it even much lower and then the launching of first the 25, 50 and 100 dinar notes, as promised would happen at this time. Stay tuned it is all good.  [post 2 of 2]  

Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru   Article:  “CURRENCY STRUCTURE: CENTRAL BANK PREPARES TO DELETE 3 ZEROS OF IRAQI CURRENCY” …this article …is only from Nov of last year…not too long ago. Okay so here is the beginning of the re-education process I said would begin a months before the reinstatement would happen.  Remember the CBI must first wait for the right environment to launch the rest of these lower smaller category notes. Now they are telling us the time is just around the corner. This is exactly what we wanted to hear and needed to hear at this time. [post 1 of 2]
