You believe Dontall is doing a better job with their tax planning due to the lower effective tax rates and, therefore, decide to invest $100,000 in Dontall.

Even before the penalties, the newly assessed tax rate of Dontall is now greater than…

The cheating may take the form of not reporting income or taking nonexistent or unjustified deductions. The total loss to the government is more than $100 billion a year. This represents the unpaid taxes of otherwise honest Americans, not the additional tens of billions hidden by drug czars and other hardened criminals. If all taxes were properly collected, a portion of our federal deficit could be wiped out. The most frequent offenders are the self-employed. A General Accounting Office (GAO) study revealed that auto dealers, restaurateurs, and clothing store operators underreport their taxable income by nearly 40 percent. Doctors, lawyers, barbers, and accountants underpay (cheat?) on 20 percent of their revenues. The most proficient of the nonreporters are in the food-service industry. Collectively, waiters and waitresses fail to report 84 percent of their tips, according…arrow_forward
