$1 trillion in unpaid corporate taxes sparks UN tussle
The Hill ^ | 11/01/2023 | Tobias Burns

The IRS is cracking down on domestic tax evasion by going after wealthy individuals and complex private partnerships, but some of the biggest tax evaders — U.S. multinational corporations — are still exploiting legal gray areas to stash money overseas and keep it out of the government’s reach.

Fed up with a stalled international effort at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to rein in the use of tax havens and put a global corporate minimum tax into force, African countries at the United Nations are now leading a charge for greater transparency and fairness in international tax.

“some of the biggest tax evaders — U.S. multinational corporations — are still exploiting legal gray areas to stash money overseas and keep it out of the government’s reach”

There used to be a 44% retained income tax as I recollect.

Taxes often are theft, but roads, schools and the military cost big money.

The VA budget will be around $300 billion. That’s about $3600/per family of four.

To: Brian Griffin; All

if there are ‘legal gray areas’ that’s the fault of the tax code, and ultimately, congress; DONT blame it on businesses trying to protect themselves from rapacious governments.

There is no “international taxes” since there is no taxing authority.

Efforts to make such authority must be resisted vigorously.

And “taxing fairness” isn’t about the taxing but it’s about funding, about piggies squealing that they could be eating at a bigger trough....

Why give any money to the UN when burning the money is faster and far more moral?
Oh, we should check to see if there are Hamas tunnels beneath the UN building. If so, let me have an F-15 and I gladly volunteer to take care of the situation.

You IRS assholes wrote the rules. Am I right? The director said they’re going after people making under $400000. Doesn’t sound like billionaires to me.

How about ZERO business taxes? Problem solved. After all, businesses don’t pay taxes. They just collect taxes from their customers. Simplicity solves many complex problems.
