Google Avoids Taxes With Bermuda Shell

Nice plan if you have the money and structure to make it work.

Google Inc. avoided about $2 billion in worldwide income taxes in 2011 by shifting $9.8 billion in revenues into a Bermuda shell company, almost double the total from three years before, filings show.

By legally funneling profits from overseas subsidiaries into Bermuda, which doesn’t have a corporate income tax, Google cut its overall tax rate almost in half. The amount moved to Bermuda is equivalent to about 80 percent of Google’s total pretax profit in 2011.

Quote from Tsing Tao:

Where's the outcry over this?

Do you know how much "rich" people tax (over $200k) a year these taxes could cover?

You'd think the government would/could...

1. Cut wasteful spending

2. Cut fraud

3. Close "loopholes"

Before demanding higher taxes from those with no vote.

Those Google guys are Obama buddies. He probably had the IRS help them setup this maneuver to avoid taxes. If you are Obama's friend you don't need to pay higher taxes, it's just those who didn't vote for him. Google raised a lot of money for Obama's campaign. He loves Google.
