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...

nakalimutan yata ng mga tao na iba ang kita ng company sa kita ng individual

hindi naman tulad ng sole proprietorship na ang kita ng company ay kita na din ng owner

like yung owner pwede kumuha ng pera sa cash register ng tindahan niya

ibang iba ang publicly owned company

hindi masama siguro na mag hire ng tax consultant or tax lawyer to do the taxes properly... sa batas and sa tax code.. maraming ways to legally avoid paying taxes.. like what's mentioned before.. make the company pay your personal bills na palabasin na company expense, wala ng personal expenses, tax deductible pa...

like.. ilabas ni Pacquiao ang pera nya to the US (bumili sya ng condo dun di ba? ), there may be a 1 time tax payment for bringing out the funds, but hindi counted sa income tax statement yun...

yung mga endorsements nya locally.. not sure if there's a way na palabasin na ex-deal yun para ma minimize ang taxes to be paid on his part (yung burden na magbayad ng taxes ay nasa brand owner na kumuha sa kanya bilang endorser?) ...

he could do that since he has the asset base to protect... sa kagaya ng mas nakararami sa atin... hindi worth it na gumastos ng ganyang kamahal for tax advice, kung ang asset base ay magkano din lang naman...

we know that, what I'm trying to say is, dapat ginawang siya ng tax shield ng accountant niya. diba meron na siyang company ngayon? two in fact wire production and meron pang isa eh.

hinde naman dine declare specifically sa BIR yun income mo yun meron withholding tax sa ganitong income then doon sa isang income walang WT.

mukhang pathetic ang BIR natin mas malaki pa binabayaran tax ng isang employee kesa sa boss niya .(Revillame, MVP).

Looks like he is learning how to play around with taxes and corporation... Very good, he is getting smarter instead of declaring all those as personal income...

I think he hired some clever accountants and created a corporation to be a tax front for him. Wouldn't you do the same if it would save you millions?

hinde ko tuloy alam kung sobrang tanga or sobrang honest si Revillame. pero mahigpit talaga BIR ngayon.

a very good friend of mine called me last week and asking kung sino meron contact or malakas kapit sa BIR, nahuli din company niya not declaring proper taxes. actually meron nag report na employee dahil meron rewards sa BIR. they had a meeting sa BIR office and ang laki ng na assess na back taxes.

told him to just pay up that assessor para ma-close na ang book close shop na ang company then open na lang ng bagong company name.

Yep if in case you get caught by the BIR better to just wind up and create a new company. Much less hassle!

ipagpatuloy lang ni PNoy ang pag harass niya sa mga business

ma-di-discourage ang mga capitalist mag invest, mag expand
