In this book we have provided you with a comprehensive look at the
UIC system from the local office level to the highest administrative
level. We have described how the UIC system is organized and how it
actually works in determining your UIC tax charges. We have provided
you with tips, strategies, and techniques to help you control and mini-
mize the amount of UIC tax you pay. We have given you questions to
ask your state UIC office to assist you in preparing and winning your
UIC cases and keeping your UIC tax charges to a minimum. We have
given you advice on how to present your side of a case to a UIC office,
and we have shown you how to win UIC appeals hearings.

We have provided you with the kind of advice we would provide our
own clients on a one-to-one basis. Our sincere desire is to give you the
most complete information and the very best tools we have to offer to
help you understand and successfully overcome the obstacles of the
UIC system.

This book was designed to give you every advantage legally allowed.
No advice is perfect. No amount of advice can ensure you will never
lose a UIC case. No one can anticipate every possible scenario or situa-
tion that might arise as you deal with the UIC system. What we have
given you is information and knowledge in an organized, comprehen-
sive form. We believe it is a practical tool of great power and substance
that can give you an extraordinary advantage in dealing with UIC mat-
ters when used correctly.

We are confident that with a little patience and practice you will
begin to feel comfortable dealing with all types of UIC problems. We
wish you the best of luck and success in your quest to master the UIC
system and control the tax costs of the program.
