    As a CPA who specializes in tax this video triggered me. If you try half of these the IRS will come looking for you. Rich people don’t pay as much in tax as regular people because of safe harbor rules. The US doesn’t care where you make your money, there’s a worldwide tax and if you denounce your citizenship you have to pay taxes on everything you have before they let you leave. Not to mention estates, gifts, and trusts are taxed separately from federal income tax. Half of these “methods” are subject to AGI limitations. And the other half have different tax rules than GAAP rules.

    • @John2r1
      @John2r1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      @@two7plumbing thing is if you don't have any profits there's nothing to be to pay taxes on. You can't get 22% tax from 0% income. Which is what profit is when you own a business. If you don't take an actual paycheck and instead take equality out and use all company assets to run your company. Which only requires you to be able to say you use the asset to go to meeting's or whatever events required to run your company. Then you don't technically own anything your using and you don't have a taxable income as an individual. Your company still has to pay corporate taxes but you pass those cost on to the price of the product your company makes. Ergo your not paying taxes out of your own pocket.
      It's the same with debts due to buying property if you buy a house then rent that house out. Your not paying your money to the bank your taking money from someone else to pay the bank. All extra money is profit to most people. But its really an asset to invest. So if on paper your not taking a paycheck and you don't personally own anything as an individual your not personally paying taxes.
      The US Tax code treats the Company and the Individual who owns it as separate entities.
      People like Donald Trump don't directly own anything their companies own it. They just use company assets. That's how the rich personally get around taxes while their companies pass the tax on to consumers.
      It cost Nike about 20¢ an hour to produce their shoes in their Vietnamese factories. The cost to the consumer here in the US per pair of shoes is between 25 to over 150 dollars depending on the shoes. The reason why taxes .
      It's a dog eat dog world. And the rich figured out how to get around the system.

I guess the word is "foolish". You buy on credit! (WRONG) and wind up paying 24% INCREASE of the price. You bu new instead of used. You buy into scams, instead of research. You want to '" do nothing- yet get rich". Why? You buy lotto tickets!
      Work your butt off like I did for 25 first years- earning LESS than welfare! Meanwhile partners rip you off, employees steal your business, customers file bankruptcy, rather then pay for goods bought, equipment outright stolen. Government refuses legit expenses. Meanwhile burglar alarms are ringing every few days, (or hours).

      Create an info product that teaches aspiring engineers how to pass a specific engineering test/certification, or, get a promotion. This can be in the form of an ebook, video course, and or, monthly subscription. You could even build a media brand if you're comfortable creating content. It's a great semi-passive revenue stream, it's borderline infinitely scalable, and you obviously have the skill and expertise to make it happen.

You can renounce your citizenship but there’s definitely an exit tax on that. This is a lot more complicated than the video implies as well as a couple other things. With that being said, it’s correct in most ways.

However the basic idea of structuring your affairs to take advantage of the tax laws of your own jurisdiction is good and it is worth investigating whether a specific technique would work in your country.

    I have to disagree with you on one thing in this video. When it comes to maxing out contributions to a retirement account, you did not mention if it's a pre-taxed contributions or after tax contributions. I contribute to both a pre-taxed and Roth retirement accounts. As you already know, no one pays taxes with a pre-taxed retirement account and the money grows tax free. However, the money is taxed as ordinary income in retirement. With a Roth retirement account, the tax on the contributions are paid up front but the money grows tax free and is also withdrawn tax free in retirement. Both of my retirement accounts are well managed by me. Other than that, this video is very informative and shows how people can use the tax system to their advantage regardless of their wealth level.

      Yes, I think this is why so many people in the US think that the rich don't pay their fair share. On average the rich pay 27% in taxes while the working poor pay 4%. But because taxes are confusing and most don't understand how it works, plus it doesn't help when you hear Warren Buffett make comments about he pays less in taxes than his secretary. All this becomes very confusing and it's no wonder why Americans are angry towards the rich. This is why financial education and understanding taxes should be taught in high schools.

    Couple clarifications plz 1.Taking bank loan does not waive taxes. You pay back bank loans with tax paid money. Loan is not an expense. 2. You do not have to reinvest money to save taxes. You have to pay corporate taxes on profit and then can reinvest it. However, tax paid income could be kept as cash asset in a corporation. You pay personal taxes only when you pay yourself salary or dividend.
