If a businessman wants to avoid paying tax, surely he won't be
STUPID like you and tell IRAS what you just did in the query.
Whether it's legal or legal rest with the ability of the tax
accountant. If he employs staff to do nothing, surely he won't be
stupid to tell the IRAS that they are doing nothing. If all the
paper work is proper, there should be no questions about it's
legality.
U r implying there is a dishonest element in the whole
deal. Sure, u can bluff your way employing a guy who basically do
nothing and claim he did a lot of thing, then have tis guy remit
the money back to your bank. If u claim he did basically nothing,
then tat is found not to be directly relevant to the whole deal and
it is not tax deductable. However if the gov found out tat such a
practise occurs, he can very well sue u. It is not about
whether it can be discovered or not. It is about whether
is the whole deal is illegal or not. I have already
answered previously. However the concept is just too difficult for
u to grasp
If the government finds out they can prosecute? You mean if I
decide to pay my secretary $10,000 a month to make one cup of
coffee during that one month, it is wrong. It's up to me to decide
the job scope of my employees, if I so decide to pay $10,000 for my
secretary to make me 1 cup of coffee, or sit around the office to
do nothing for 1 minute, it's entirely my choice. IRAS can't
dispute the salary I pay her. Funny how you claim that IRAS can
claim it's illegal for me to pay what I choose to pay to my
employees.
For the whole scheme to work, the secretary have to pay the
money back to u. If she is found to be your close relative, then
the whole deal is also dubious. U can free to give any pay to your
secretary for doin nothing but it is not tax deductable. Tat is the
bottomline
Why not send it the letter of query written by me, see if it's
legal.
I do not want to be associated with so0meone like u either.
Why don't u send your own letter
