As a salary-earning individual, there's very little you can do to actually reduce your taxes by a meaningful amount, let alone down to zero like these corporations can.
- whitepaint 5y agoI'm a freelancer, I'm sure many here are as well. I do my own taxes (or more precisely, my accountant does). And it was more to demonstrate, does anyone pay more than they have to? Why do we expect businesses to act differently than how individuals do?
- wolfretcrap 5y agoThen why not start a company if the grass is sooo much greener on other side. It's true you can claim a lot as expense and register zero profits but only when you really don't have money. People forget, Amazon gets its money from stock market - this money is someone's pension funds and savings, they are investing because people believe Amazon will one day then profit, they don't care about these losses. So what's the alternative? Prevent people from investing into profitable things?
