Note: I'm mad!! There are emails "floating" around town and postings on http://losbarriles.ning.com/  that were never on the BPE. I heard several times, "Oh, I read it on the BPE!" and that's NOT true!  Please be sure you have the correct source before you say.......it was on the Pony. This is very damaging to me and  the BPE.  Cheryl

a. Useful English/Spanish Dictionary Online - I found a very useful online English / Spanish dictionary and Learning Resource at http://www.spanishdict.com/dictionary . Unlike Google's, simple translation utility, the online dictionary keeps a history of your word searches, gives you links to similar words, links to other language aids, and provides multiple translations and definitions of words and phrases depending on context. For example, here are the various translations and definitions for the English word "Table" when used in various contexts:

There are also sections devoted to Learning Spanish or English. Best of all, the site is Free! - Alan, alan@baja1.com,  Todos Santos.

b. Todos Santos Fire Photos - Most of us remember the fire that spread through Todos Santos several weeks ago. It's hard to imagine the exact extent of burned area from the ground. Yesterday, while flying over the city at an altitude of about 1000 feet, I took some photos you may be interested in seeing that show the area affected and new regrowth that has began. The photos can be viewed at my web site here: www.todossantosrentals.net/todossantosrentals_fire.html  - Robert Quirk, rq@todossantosrentals.net , (624) 147-0326, Todos Santos

BANKING

a. I think the Dollar issue is being commented so out of order.... The correct information was given by Noelia from the Bancomer, anybody else is just giving the information half way.... She said 3% as a Retention Tax (Capital Gains Tax) those if us that are valid business that pay taxes can deduct this from our annual payment.... Below there was another person who mention 2% (not 3% - 4%) they are wrong in a way... Last year it was 2% this year from January 1st 2010 it's a 3% tax and over $15,000.00 Pesos or equivalent in USD at the moment of depositing the Cash only.
Thanks for reading... Jorge
(So then..........I asked Jorge, "Are all the banks the same?" Cheryl
Reply: Yes all banks are with this same Federal requirement

Say for example you have 4 banks accounts at different banks and you are depositing CASH into them:

At each Bank you can deposit in CASH every month only up to $15,000.00 Pesos (Equiv. In USD or any other currency for that goes) with out paying the Federal Capital Gain Tax (IDE) if at any back you should go over this amount then they will charge or collect or retain (how ever you want to put it) 3% above the $15,000.00 Pesos Bench Mark.

For example:

Bancomer you deposited during the month of March $20,000.00 Pesos; Now we subtract from the total amount of $20,000.00 minus the $15,000.00 (their limit) this bring us an over head of $5,000.00, now this times 3% they will retain / collect/ charge from your account $150.00 pesos only that month.

Now At Banamex, you had in March $13,500.00 pesos total deposited, you will not be charge because you did not go over the Limit.

You can wire transfer and/or deposit checks into your pesos account with out no limit nor No Charge of this Federal Tax.

I do recall about depositing or W/T into your Dollar Mexican Accounts something about they have establish Limits that the Bank has to keep a record of your transaccions.... I will find out tomorrow at the bank about this.

I just log on this web page...http://www.bansefi.gob.mx/prodyserv/otros/Paginas/IDE.aspx and I found out that this rule only applies to us as Sole Proprietors... If you have a Mexican Corporation this does not apply..... (at least that was this said), still looking for the dollar deposits..
