The government has many sources of income, but if we were to classify them, they can be broadly divided into tax revenue and non tax revenue. While tax revenue makes up the lion’s share of the government’s income, non-tax revenue also plays a crucial role in the country’s development. Let’s understand what constitutes non-tax revenue, how it’s generated, and why it’s important. What is Non-Tax Revenue? Non-tax revenue is an umbrella term for all of the government’s sources of income that are not related to taxes. This includes fees, fines, royalties, sales, interest, dividends, and more.

That income estimate assumes a 20% down payment, a 30-year fixed mortgage, and adherence to the 30% rule, which advises that homeowners spend a maximum of 30% of their gross income on housing. An income of $114,000 means that homeowners would earn about $9,500 per month before taxes — enough to pay the mortgage, property taxes, and insurance on their home. However, most American households make less than $114,000.…

Aiming to reinstate one-way attorney fees in insurance litigation, the House added an amendment – originally part of a separate bill – to an unrelated Senate bill focused on creating legal protections for owners of former mining sites. Filed by state Rep. Berny Jacques, the amendment would have restored Florida’s previous requirement for insurers to shoulder the insured’s legal costs, even if…

When a medical billing firm loses in court, whether through class-action lawsuits, consumer protection cases, or regulatory penalties, it does more than just make headlines. It sets powerful precedents and forces a change in behavior across an industry that’s been riddled with opaque pricing, predatory collection practices, and billing…
