Wanted to share an observation. Usually, on getting a receipt, I take a quick glance to see if it is "proper". I am told a proper one is supposed to have a number, date, and tax id number of the business that is issuing it.
So, with that background, past weekend, when I was handed a receipt at the NICE expressway tollgate, I took a look, and noted that there was no TIN mentioned anywhere.
So I was wondering if anyone knows the tax implications of toll collected by NICE. Does NICE pay taxes on the toll it collects? Or is there a waiver for them? Other question - are they supposed to report vehicle stats - and report their toll revenues in any form or fashion? A missing TIN number in receipt may or may not mean anything, but I am just curious.
Just to make the point about TIN very clear, here is a receipt, in my book a proper one, because it seems to have a number, a date and the business TIN.
Note the bottom half of this receipt - clear TIN, and CST as well.

Its not NICE
Its NECE Limited on the receipt.
Common emergency number
Why are there multiple emergency numbers. When we have an emergency we have to determine what type, heart condition, accident, fire etc.; we have to determine where, NICE road, MG Road, Koramangala, etc. we have to know NSD code etc.
Why dont we have a common emergency number like 911 or 100 for all emergencies which can be called from all places. The advertisement of emergency numbers by hospitals is not good. I was looking for possible presentation of proliferation of so called emergency numbers, and when I found this, thought this was a very nice example.
expressway traffic patrol - who?
Since we are at it, I am alos curious if its okay for NICE to hav their private highway patrol on the expressway? Whose responsibility is to enforce speed limits and safety on the expressway?
If its NICE, then will they be liable for any damages that happen on the expressway, and can be proved to be due to lax enforcement?
[I am not a NICE hater or anything, just that someone should ask these questions.]
