Nope: I'm not a resident of Russia, neither other shareholders. This is not the case. And the problem is ongoing for 2 months+.
I understand the willingness to bring this, but currently this is not the case.
- temp8964 5y agoBut you are a citizen of Russia? Do you pay tax to Russia?
- igordebatur 5y agoNo I don't pay tax to Russia, I happily stopped when I moved to Canada.
- vmception 5y agoYou can count on one hand the number of countries that tax their citizens who earn outside of their country.
- cute_boi 5y agoI personally think its egregious to tax people when they aren't using any resource from the country where they don't live. Tax is mainly collected for development of nation, at least that's what government says.
- vmception 5y agoYes, that is what they say, what they do is largely different. The outcome, and my current view, is that the threat of taxes incentives other kinds of transactions, and when those transactions are not pursued then the remainder of the money available is taxed. This means do the transactions that are not tax events, do the transactions that are deductible expenses, do the transactions that result in tax credits. Invest in the area or sector experiencing the tax holiday, move to the area with the tax exemption. No individual politician will say it that way, any individual politician will say the opposite “tax everyone, fair share, yada yada”, but they are politicians, and the political body in aggregate creates tax laws more similar to my observation. And yes, I can acknowledge that there is a very limited number of things that a wage slave can do to reduce taxes. The tax code awards taking risks, this doesn't mean the employee wont fail and have no remaining ability to exchange time for food and shelter. But if you dont fail, it will continue rewarding you.
- mdoms 5y agoHave you renounced your Russian citizenship?
- igordebatur 5y agoThis requires getting another citizenship and it takes time. I'm waiting.
- jacquesm 5y agoFor Canada: good luck. I gave up after a couple of years of waiting with endless promises that it would soon be resolved, it felt like building on quicksand.
- igordebatur 5y agoI have high hope and a lot of persistence but I hear you. All of my friends told me that Canadian bureaucracy is super slow. So I came prepared.
- mardifoufs 5y agoWait, I thought canadian citizenship is pretty much guaranteed after ~3 years as a permanent resident. I'm not sure since I got it when I was 9 years old but is it different now? Is it even possible to get without a PR?
- jacquesm 5y agoIt isn't. And even getting permanent resident status can take a long, long time.
