Name Search
My name is Kylecovey Miguel Smith, Graduate of Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University. My name is made up of 4 individual names that were given to me by my mother and father. My dad gave me the name Kylecovey due to liking the name Kyle, and due to his admiration of the interpreter James Covey, the man for vouched and translated for the captured Mende Africans of the Spanish slave ship, La Amistad, and aided them into being set free in 1839. My mother named me Miguel because she was a big Michael Jackson, but she wanted to give a special touch to the name by using the Spanish version. Therefore, I was assigned the middle name Miguel. My last name Smith was automatically given to me because my dad’s last name is Smith.

The value-added tax, sometimes known as VAT, is a system that has been optimized in order to help save unnecessary labour. You pay HMRC a percentage that is fixed in relation to your turnover that includes VAT rather than calculating the amount of VAT that you are responsible for handing over to HMRC by subtracting input VAT from output VAT. This is because you pay HMRC a percentage that is fixed in relation to your turnover. The nature of your business is the primary factor in determining the appropriate ratio.
