Ukraine has deployed military and engineering units to five Middle Eastern countries —the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and Jordan —to help intercept drones and strengthen air‑defense capabilities amid escalating regional tensions.  The teams, composed of specialist counter‑drone personnel , are advising local forces and assisting in neutralizing Iranian-made Shahed drones , which have increasingly targeted civilian and critical infrastructure during the ongoing Iran conflict.

The alternative minimum tax


 

The alternative minimum tax (AMT) is a secondary way for Canadians to calculate their income tax. It is often applicable when you have claimed a preferential tax deduction or credit, such as capital gains, dividend, or employee stock options.

Each year, your tax owing is calculated under the normal method, which considers the preferential tax credits and deductions. This number is then compared to a second calculation where you don’t receive these same credits and deductions, but your tax is calculated at a lower tax rate. For most instances, the normal calculation will result in more tax owing. When the second calculation results in a higher amount owing, you will pay this higher amount. The difference between the regular tax owing and the second calculation is the AMT. When you are subject to the AMT, this should be viewed as a prepayment of future tax. Over the next seven years, you can recover this amount paid against your regular income tax. In order to recover this AMT in the future, you would have to be taxable in future years, thus if you do not have taxable income in these years, this AMT will be lost.

I hope this helps!
