Nakida Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I was wondering about the taxes and the spread when the RV kicks off. Some are telling me that it will be a 35% tax, and others are saying 28%. So what is it? Also...........can someone explain to me about the "Spread". Not sure I am grasping all that well.

Joker017 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Good Morning Nakida, In answer to your question, the jury is still out on what the taxes will be. Long term 15% or Short Term 35% Capital Gains or Regular income 35% still to be determined! Keep in mind whether your state has state taxes, for instance here in Ohio our's is almost 6% The Spread is how the Banks or the place you cash in makes their money, It could be 0% on up, but keep in mind that it is negotiable so put on your negotiating Boots before you walk into the Bank or Cash in Place Also there is a set Spread that the Government will get regardless if the Bank makes a spread or not the Government will always get their share. For me and where I live I'm figuring total for me to set aside and cover my A** will be about 40-45% including all Taxes and Spreads to pay! I'd rather set aside more and be safe than less and be sorry come Tax time! Hope this helps Joker017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR Bobert Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Nakida: The taxes, like date and rate, no one knows pre RV. the spread in how much the the banks will pay you for your iqd and how much they will sell them to you for. the cbi rate right now is they will buy them for 1164 and sell for 1166 a six dinar spread, but since you will be cashing thru a bank or dealer that probably will be different. and you should be able to negotiate the rate. you appear to be new to this site. There is a lot of great info here so read read and read some more. Welcome to DV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butifldrm Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Just a thought, but could the spread we pay become a tax deduction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one2one Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 investing in dinar seems subject to the 15% long term capital gains tax----IMO----16 months ago, i bought mine unless some investments are treated differently--which i never heard of so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markinsa Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Many think the gain on the exchange of Dinar for Dollars will be ordinary Income, so the regular tax rate will be 35% for income "$388,351 or more" then take into consideration that you may have to pay the AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax), that rate could be even higher. For understanding the spread, get the "Cash in Guide", Adam explains it very well. - Just a thought, but could the spread we pay become a tax deduction? In short, "No". If you didn't have to pay the spread, the spread would be additional profit. You pay tax on the difference of what you paid (Your basis), and what you sell it for. Sales Price - Basis = Profit (Income) So if I paid $1,000 for 1,000,000 Million Dinar with an RV at 1:1 with a 10% spread, my profit and taxable income would be ($900,000 - $1,000) $899,000. - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rulesforrebels Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Like others have said the spread is what you will be charged to convert your dinars into dollars. Someone through out could be 0% it absolutely will not be 0%. Everyone wants to make a buck nobody does anything for free. In my experience traveling currency exchanges will generally charge you 12% to 18% banks generally tend to do a little better maybe 5%-6% however that's even on very common currencies like the Euro. The Iraqi Dinar is more of an exotic currency so the spread will be much higher. I know of one currency exchange in my area buying Dinar that is the only one I know of. Thye are buying in at $620. Obviously that's a terrible spread and dinar isn't a pegged or traded currency so things would probably be better hypothetically if there was an rv but keep in mind this is a hard currency to turn around, expenses of brinks trucks, shipping etc add up to a lot let alone the fact the banks need to make a buck as well. I would be expecting a 15% spread at a minimum IF it were to RV. I also find it funny how some people have buy back gurantees but make no mention of what the spread will be or what they will buy back in at. I could make a buy back gurantee to everyone on this site as well, if it rV I gurantee I will buy your dinar....at $1 per million lol. See they can throw out any price as they didn't promise anything in particular. Edited February 12, 2012 by rulesforrebels 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomeygoat Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 So if you made $1,000,000 on the RV, you would end up with less than $600,000 after 35% tax and 10% spread. Thats not good really. Its a huge lump they are taking away. And whats that ATM tax? Can anyone explain.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW No the bad deal is when you scrimped and saved and sacrificed all the things that $1,000 could buy you in order to purchase the dinar, the government comes in, without risking anything and takes $390,000 of it to give to someone else. That's criminal. - 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have the power of the government behind them,and that's why it's criminal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW So you see by the other comments it is a bad deal..IRS just takes from you and dosent do a thing for it as usual. Turn in $1000 into $1000000 is a good thing, but Mr Big sticking his hand DEEP into our wallets to take a cut of it, is a bad thing. Of course if you dont see that you must work for the reveue service.... HOOTS MON..WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARRRRRR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeTas Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Do you drive on highways? Do you cross bridges? Have you been protected by the military? Have you gone to school, or have children who go to school? Have you enjoyed our beautiful national parks? The government has done nothing for you? ......etc. Please......We share so that we can care for one another. Greed is the enemy of community. Watch how you vote is right.

Carrello Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 investing in dinar seems subject to the 15% long term capital gains tax----IMO----16 months ago, i bought mine unless some investments are treated differently--which i never heard of so far I think the operative word in your statement is "seems". I would like to see what the IRS definition of "seems" is. Investing in currency does not put you in a 15% tax category. Long term capital gains is when your asset is held over one year and incurs 15% tax. Short term is under one year and incurs 35% tax. Plan for 35% tax because no one is sure yet. I would rather get a refund than a new striped suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEESEAN Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 With the article I just posted about Obama's new tax plan there just might be a flat 30% tax (If i read it right) for those who make over a million a year. I'm with Carello, i'll put the 400,000 aside for taxes. I'm not to keen on the whole jail thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomeygoat Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Who said anything about not paying taxes? All I said its a liberty to take away such a large amount. Just open your bill fold and pay up what ever the IRS wants, no problems. But Its also that sort of weak, giving in type attitude the government likes. " America needs you", or should I say "your money" "It dosen't matter how you got it, we want a big cut" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
