Child porn legislation proposed
Manitobans could be the first Canadians to face jail time and fines for failing to report suspected cases of child pornography.
-
CBC News has learned the provincial government will introduce legislation Wednesday that will amend the Child and Family Services Act to expand the definition of child abuse to include child pornography.
-
Under the legislation, anyone caught not reporting suspected cases of child pornography could face up to two years behind bars or a maximum $50,000 fine - the same penalty for those who fail to report child abuse.
-
"Child porn is not just a picture - it's a sexual assault committed against a child," said Lianna McDonald, director of the Canadian Centre for Child Protection. "It's an act of child abuse that needs to be stopped."
-
The agency runs the national tip line for reporting child sexual exploitation that Manitobans will be asked to call if they notice a possible case of child pornography.
-
McDonald said the legislation won't solely target internet service providers, but everyone from computer repair technicians to a babysitter who stumbles upon photos in someone's home.
-
Police outside Manitoba are applauding the move, including Toronto's police force, which is known worldwide for employing innovative methods of cracking down on sexual exploitation.
-
"These are real children and these are real photos and we can never forget that.... It's evidence and should be treated that way," said Det.-Sgt. Kim Scanlan, who heads the Toronto Police Service's child exploitation unit.
-
Child protection advocates said they hope the federal government will adopt legislation similar to the Manitoba proposal.

How has MSC legislation affected Agencies and Contractors?

This is a presentation to show how MSC legislation has affected Agencies and Contractors?
For a free salary calculation please visit http://www.tarpon-uk.com/salary_calculator/index.aspx
Tarpon is an employment benefits company which offers contractors a tax-efficient payroll service. We are experts at giving impartial tax advice. We'll claim up to 100% of your expenses back for you. And we'll provide you with a personal business manager to handle both your admin and your invoicing. Plus many additional benefits making contracting more rewarding.
A Managed Service Company (MSC) is a form of intermediary company which enables workers to provide their services to end clients.
The definition of an MSC in the legislation includes both 'composites' and 'managed personal service companies'.
A provider promotes the use of such companies and offers the structure. The worker is a shareholder, but does not have any control over the company.
What does the MSC legislation do?
It deems any payments received by an individual working through an MSC to be employment income.
This means that PAYE and Class 1 NICs must be applied to all income received by individuals in MSCs in relation to their services.
The legislation applies whatever the form through which the worker receives their remuneration.
What does the MSC legislation do?
If an MSC cannot pay the PAYE and NICs that it is liable for, under the MSC legislation the debt can be transferred to a third party, including the company's director, the MSC provider and, in certain circumstances, other third parties that may have benefited from the placement.
The key parts of the legislation took effect from 6th April 2007 and in August 2007 the Finance Bill was formally enacted, meaning the full legislation, including transfer of debt provisions, is now in force.
When is an MSC not an MSC?
A number of MSC Providers have been telling their clients that they are accountants rather than MSC Providers in response to the legislation, leading individuals to believe that they are not affected by the MSC Legislation.
HM Revenue & Customs actually still views many of these organisations as MSC Providers. The relationship between the client's company and the MSC Provider is what will determine whether the new tax rules apply or not.
Individuals who have continued to operate through such service companies need to carefully consider their relationship with the MSC Provider. If the service company is within the legislation, and has not operated on a PAYE basis, the individual could be held personally liable for the debts.
Who is affected? Who isn't?
Who is affected?
Primarily it is the workers who use Managed Service Companies to provide their services, because the legislation is concerning taxation of that person's income.
The legislation also affects anyone who makes Managed Service Companies available (MSC Providers).
In certain circumstances, the legislation may also affect other third parties.
Who is affected? Who isn't?
Who is not affected?
Workers operating through a Personal Service Company that is not within the new definition of a MSC.
Workers operating through Umbrella Companies.
