You're putting a lot of words in their mouth that they didn't say. Their original statement was perfectly valid; the business probably has losses they can use to offset the tax liability. That's all they said. They didn't make any further judgements about whether that was overall better or worse.
- bruce511 4y agoYou are correct, I was inferring a lot. Perhaps too much - I apologise for that. I guess the reply seemed strange to me because it started the thought, and then kinda didn't complete it. The post could have just said "yes", or could have mentioned the additional costs and explained that taxes were not the only likely overhead. But (it read to me) like the thought was incomplete, or was somehow implying the expenses were a good thing. Clearly though I misunderstood it - my bad.
