Hello World

There is always a bit of awkwardness in a first interaction, so I will break the ice with an introduction.  My name is Phil.  I am 24, live in New York City, and work in finance which I was trained to do at the illustrious Stern school of business at NYU.  Beyond any formal training, finance, business, and the confluence of the two are subjects I’ve been interested in for quite some time now.

I recently built a site: www.wrestlingontv.com.  I was (and still am) a huge fan of amateur wrestling, but find it very hard to track when the world’s oldest (as in first sport in almost every culture known to man) and greatest sport will be on TV, or even streaming on the internet.  I’m guessing the same problem goes for a lot of fans of non revenue, tertiary sports.  So, I am trying to develop a scalable model to track all of the wonderful coverage that my sport deserves and make it easy for others to know when they can enjoy this coverage.

I started with close zero technical ability (unless you count building really long formulas in excel, or that one week in 8th grade I spent learning BASIC in the hills of Western Massachusetts).  Therefore, I thought it would be helpful to document some of the resources I used to learn a bit of PHP, Drupal, MySQL, etc.  Also, I have a much more ambitious and involved project which will hopefully develop over the next several weeks and months which will be a lot of fun to write about.

While I’m keeping the newer project a bit of a secret for now (something most VCs would probably frown upon and call me paranoid for), I think that a lot of what I’m learning about SEO, databases, etc will be worthwhile to post.

I also am excited to write about my thoughts on the economics behind everything from Night Life to Brooklyn Kickball.  Please stay tuned, and send me an email if you are so inclined.

  11. Bei Eigenbelegen handelt es sich um Belege, die von einem Unternehmen selbst erstellt wurden. Wenn ein Unternehmen also Waren an an anderes Unternehmen verkauft und für diesen Verkauf eine Rechnung erstellt,
    handelt es sich dabei um einen Eigenbeleg. Konkret muss der Steuerpflichtige
    Quittungen oder Rechnungen vorlegen können, andernfalls kann keine steuerliche Absetzung erfolgen. Im Steuerrecht gilt der Grundsatz, dass
    alle betrieblichen oder beruflichen Aufwendungen immer nachgewiesen werden müssen. Es kann allerdings vorkommen, dass
    ein solcher Beleg nicht mehr vorhanden ist. Beispielsweise kann er auf einer Geschäftsreise
    schlichtweg verloren worden sein. Durchaus üblich und erlaubt ist ein solcher Eigenbeleg hingegen bei kleineren Ausgaben so
    Trinkgeldern oder Münzgeld für den Kopierer.
    Und muss genau belegt werden, wie der Preis zustande
    gekommen ist. Dann können Eigenbelege als absolute Notlösung genutzt werden, die teilweise vom Finanzamt anerkannt werden. Beispielsweise kann die Preisliste eines Restaurants beigelegt werden. Sollte das Finanzamt den Eigenbeleg dann anerkennen, so ist
    ein Vorsteuerabzug nicht möglich, weil hierfür immer eine
    ordentliche Rechnung ausgestellt werden muss. Auch der Grund
    für die Ausstellung des Eigenbelegs muss angegeben werden. Sollte der
    Steuerpflichtige mit seinem Eigenbeleg die oben genannten Anforderungen erfüllen, so stellt dies noch keine Garantie für die Absetzbarkeit der Aufwendung dar.
    Neben den notwendigen Pflichtangaben muss das Finanzamt die Betriebsausgabe der Höhe nach verstehen.
    Zudem sieht das Finanzamt eine Höchstgrenze von 150
    Euro für die Absetzbarkeit bei Eigenbelegen vor.
    Damit kommt die Grenze derjenigen von Kleinbetragsrechnungen gleich.
    Zudem muss es sich bei der Aufwendung wirklich um einen Geschäftsvorfall handeln,
    Unternehmer können nicht einfach den Einkauf beim Bäcker absetzen.
    Beide Belege weisen nur minimale Eckdaten zum
    jeweiligen Geschäftsvorfall auf, weshalb größere Summen floppen können. Häufig genutzt werden Eigenbelege,
    um im kontext eines Geschäftsessens bezahltes Trinkgeld zu quittieren. Denn dieses wird meist nicht auf der eigentlichen Rechnung des Restaurants ausgewiesen.
