Tax incentives are created to stimulate one behaviour, so using them is good - but abusing those tax incentives - avoiding the behaviour they were supposed to stimulate but avoiding taxes is the immoral part. I'm seeing a decent amount of this with the recent crisis tax reliefs
- listenallyall 7y ago>> using them (tax incentives) is good that's a 180 from your initial comment >> Avoiding the behaviour they were supposed to stimulate but avoiding taxes I very clearly stated that I was talking about legal means. If a company claims a tax deduction for an action it did not actually perform, that would be illegal. >> recent crisis tax reliefs I can't speak to non-US policy, but in the US, the recent stimulus is not a tax relief bill, and thus inapplicable (though I will agree there is likely to be a lot of fraud).
