for the Baker Plan for Western Sahara Baker Plan The Baker Plan was launched in October 1985 at the IMF World Bank meeting in Seoul , by James Baker , United States Secretary of the Treasury , as a way to combat the international debt crisis.

Citation needed date April 2007 The Plan was designed to help highly indebted middle income countries, i.e. those countries that are not incredibly poor but nevertheless owe a large amount of money. Fifteen countries were mentioned, and ten of those were in Central and Latin America. Ultimately, the Baker Plan failed due to its inequitable principles on deciding which countries received aid.

The Mortgage Forgiveness DebtRelief Act was introduced in Congress on September 25, 2007, and became law on December 20, 2007. This act offered relief to homeowners who would formerly owe taxes on debt forgiveness forgiven mortgage debt after facing foreclosure. The act extends such relief for three years, applying to debts discharged in calendar year 2007 through 2009. With the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 , this tax relief was extended another three years, covering debts discharged through calendar year 2012. Normally in US law when a lender decides to forgive all or a portion of a borrower s debt and accept less, the forgiven amount is considered as income for the borrower and is liable to be taxed. However, after the signing of the Mortgage Forgiveness Act, amendments have been made to remove such tax liability and allow the borrower and lender to work freely together to find a common solution that is beneficial to both parties. This protection is limited to primary residences rental properties are ineligible for relief so consultation with a tax advisor is necessary to ensure that a borrower qualifies. ref http georgewbush whitehouse.archives.gov news releases 2007 12 20071220 6.html Fact Sheet The Mortgage Forgiveness DebtRelief Act of 2007 ref The amount of forgiven mortgage debt allowed to be excluded from income tax is limited to 2 million per year.
