Kung 30% on average ang tax payable, ibig sabihin:

Wilfredo B. Revillame, P57.25-million / .30 = 190.8M

15.9M ang kinikita ni willie per month or 530,000 per day :shocked2:

yan din iniisip ko. bakit parang mas malaki ang kita ni willy sa mga yan. or baka sina henry sy ang nandadaya? hehehe.

pano nga pala nakukuha yung tax nila henry sy? may sweldo ba sila? or kasama sa tax na yan yung mga benta ng sm?

No mga businessman like Henry Sy and MVP all use their companies as a shield for personal income tax. Example yes SM made this much money for example, pero that is the company earning and not Henry Sy himself...

[jimnyeatworld]

^ hinde Tidus talagang signs of tax evader talaga

5 million lang difference ni Sharon Cuneta saka si Henry Sy

tapos 1.82B lang binayad ng SM Prime vs. sa top 1 na 10B


nagtatayo sila ng 3B-5B per mall almost thrice a year di pa kasama yun mga condo nya

tapos 1.82B lang

saka nasan BDO, wag mo sabihin share pa sa 1.82B pa yun.

Its stimple OB, don't take any income from your businesses. Leave it at your businesses... If you don't take the income, then you don't have taxable income. Let the business spend for your daily needs so you avoid taxation and in fact even reduce company taxes by declaring those as expenses... Also since these guys are shareholders, their stock value rises that is what makes them rich. If they don't sell their stock and just hold on to it you don't have tax obligations cause wala namang realize gains all paper gains lang...

These guys are smart, very smart...
