The more money you make, the more you have to pay in taxes, right? Not always. The ultra-wealthy typically take advantage of rules in the tax code which enable them to lower their effective tax rate. Warren Buffet has often pointed out that he pays less taxes than his secretary and Amazon famously paid zero taxes in 2018. So how exactly are the country’s biggest earners using the tax code to avoid paying taxes?

The two best things I did to significantly reduce my tax rate was: 1. Buy a house and rent out room - allows you to take a lot of deductions not to mention extra tax free income 2. Start a side business and push expenses/deductions to that side business. I am not rich nor wealthy. Anyone with a decent income can do at least one of these if not both.

Buy companies that are PROFITABLE, very important irrespective of sector. 4. Debt to equity ratio is less than 30% 5.

One of my friends gets around paying taxes by buying tax free municipal bonds. However, the bonds cost $10,000 a piece but the interest from them is tax free. The thing is the more money you make, the more opportunities open up to shelter your income from paying taxes.

Yes, but your friend already paid ordinary income taxes on the money he used to invest into the munis.

He will still have to pay capital gains taxes when he sells the munis / realizes the gains.

@@kaizuki2801 umm unless you’re talking about a different country, getting paid in cash or check literally has zero bearings on tax liability. The only thing is that cash is harder to track. That’s not tax avoidance. That’s tax evasion. That’s like saying just “launder your money”, cause hiding cash income is illegal, even if you can get away with it. We’re talking here about legal ways to reduce taxes, which most average people can hardly accomplish. The fact is, whether fair or not, the wealthy have much more legal avenues and opportunities to reduce their taxes than average people. And, let’s face it, they have the money to higher the best tax experts to figure things out for them. Average people either lack access to such tax experts or are just ignorant about things and don’t get sound advice because they don’t know any better.

Most people complain and complain about how the system doesn't treat them fairly and demand the wealthy pay their "fair" share of taxes. Those same people are the ones who completely steer clear of any tax planning and are the ones who sit on their couches, watch TV all day and run across a turbo tax ad in which turbo tax offers services to completely take "care" of their taxes. Your average person sitting there watching this advertisement doesn't even give it a second thought and spends extra money on a tax professional and continues to sit down and watch TV or party on the weekends instead of learning the ins and outs of tax planning that include numerous tax credits and deductions they could otherwise use to their advantage without the help of a professional, saving thousands of dollars, and potentially doing a better job than those Turbo tax professionals in reducing their tax liability to its fullest extent. Get your priorities straight and quit complaining about something that is 100% in your control. Choices and priorities are what separate the rich from the average person, not the IRS or capitalism/"system".

@godofthecorn3011
@godofthecorn3011 3 роки тому
This is what people miss when they make the argument for a flat tax. The tax system right now is FAIR. The top 15% are also responsible for 75% of income (100 minus 15, with 100 being the person who made the least, and 1 being the person who made the most). So if 76% of the federal income tax revenue comes from 75% of the income for which fed tax revenue is derived, it is proportional. For a long time I was against the progressive tax system. It felt unfair. But if you sit and think about it in a pragmatic way like this it changes your perspective.

@Kiyometa
@Kiyometa 2 роки тому
@@godofthecorn3011 I don't have a very strong opinion on this, but as far as the amount of federal income, if you take into account the significance of the worsening wealth divide/gap, it adds a bit more nuance. Where on that line should things change? I don't know. I see that there are some improvements to income in certain sectors recently, but also none in others. With the increase of automation of the workforce (need less workers), pushing more workers into the service sector, it is more difficult to find a well paying factory job or trade. There are so many other factors that influence this like the tipped wage (Only like $2.13 still to this day which is atrocious), the minimum wage still being where it is, the working conditions in many jobs, the proliferation of the 'gig worker,' which is more horrifying than most think. The numbers don't lie, in the US as of 2016, the top 1% own 40% of all wealth, the top 5% own 66% of all wealth, the bottom 90% own 21% (which is down from 33% in the 60s, this trend of decline increasing significantly in the last 2 decades) this has gotten significantly worse with the pandemic. The American dream of owning a home and car and being able to take care of a family off of a single income is dead. In the 60s and 70s you could do that, often with only a high school diploma. Is that a criticism of the income gap or the education system though? *shrug* a bit of both, with a multitude of other factors of course (all these problems have many causes, not just one, and so there is no such thing as a single directed fix either). Also, the decrease of benefits over the decades is very significant. A lot of benefits like health care coverage and pension is now taken out of your paycheck instead of being completely or almost completely covered by the company that you work for. The amount of income you get from easily accessible methods of investment like savings accounts have gone from 6-8% to .03% annual interest. On the other hand the interest rate has also dropped significantly, but that means we have an economy built on debt instead of wealth for the vast majority of the population. Should we blame someone in particular for this? Not really sure it is fair to place all the blame on the richest people, they are also participants in this broken system, but they also have more influence than most. Did you know that the IRS offered to make doing your taxes incredibly easy for people, but the tax preparation companies lobbied against it with really dumb arguments and trading favors to get it shot down? There is corruption everywhere in our government and the richest people have the money to buy off politicians to do what is best for them, instead of the general public. I'm cynical about it all, but I don't think I'm entirely wrong.

Not necessarily. You can do certain things to tax in a way that lowers rent. For example... Luxury apartments are all that are being built... That is because you can earn 4x the cost of that apartment. So the apartment complexes earn more money by leaving property empty. Tax the empty apartments, at different levels of course, under 10%? No taxes, 20% vacancy 10% of rent on empty apartments etc etc. giving a tax incentive to fill all apartments. Therefore drive rents down, while also increasing tax money.

"You can itemize on a schedule A" - Yes you can, however for 70% of the country, the Standard deduction is more advantageous. The 2017 tax law change improved that function for 50% of all tax payers, and capped property tax deductions. While it helped many, the significantly lower interest rates on mortgages effectively hindered the ability to benefit (from a tax perspective) from mortgage interest deduction. As a result, fewer people need a CPA to complete their taxes if you are taking a standard deduction.

If you earn employment income you will pay the highest tax rates but if you are wealthy and can live off dividends and capital gains you will pay much lower tax rates. Corporations pay out dividends from after tax income as they are not tax deductible so the person receiving the dividends gets a tax credit to avoid double taxation for that type of income. I don't live in the US but that is the general concept.

If everyone starts doing it, the rules will miraculously change to make rank and file people pay up once again while the actual "owner class" wiggles out of the new tax structure. The goal is to keep tax loopholes exclusive. If one or two people are allowed to cut the line, the line is still maintained. If the entire line figures out how to cut the line within the current rule structure, there ceases to be a line. They're only so brazen with telling everyone the "secrets" because they don't think many people will use those "secrets." But on the off chance a ground swell of people do, well whaddaya know a new tax structure. It's a shell game people. It's legalized con-artistry on a multi-generational and yes multi-society level.

The biggest problem with this is that it creates an us vs them mentality. What most of the "poor" don't realize is that all these laws also apply to them. They can also take advantage of all these advantages as well. It's a choice you can make or not make. Most of the wealthy people made that choice a long time ago. To use their money to re-invest it into their future instead of using it to buy a playstation then use all their extra time to play that playstation. I realize this is a hard thing to understand for people in the low wage category, but truly all of these opportunities are open to you, so so so much more than you realize. You simply need to educate yourself on how to acquire more assets. That should be your focus, not earning a higher paycheck. The higher paycheck mentality is a poor person mentality. No truly wealthy people think like that. Before someone butts in to say that yeah but I only make $XXX dollars per hour or whatever, let me be clear, your personal income doesn't matter. There are many ways for you to legally be able to acquire assets without paying for them with your own earned income. Especially things like real estate, which have more tax advantages than anything. So stop hurting yourself by thinking these advantages are only for the rich, they're for everyone, you can make the choice to take advantage of them or not. You can choose to be wealthy or poor. It is a choice. Invest your time today into your own education instead of your playstation or social media and start enjoying the dividends from your investment when you're able to take action on that education and make things happen. You can do it.

Following the history of the US, the United States of America was formed due to revolting from paying high taxes back to England. "Taxation without Representation", remember? Maybe I'm weird but I like to study the history of money. What activities can I do to benefit society as a whole AND gain an advantage for myself? The video explains that employing people and housing people fits that criteria. But the bigger question that needs to be asked is: does the government (local, state, AND federal) spend your tax money properly. Why are taxes always going up? Just like your household has income, government on every level is the same way. You spend within your means. If you get a credit card and spend spend spend, the bill comes due eventually. Gaining control of your spending will REDUCE the need for higher taxes! Keep your local officials accountable for how your tax money is spent. Attend local budget meetings. Elected officials are supposed to be the voice of the people. Make sure your voice is heard!

Love how the woman says that the working class don't contribute to the economy as much as the rich.. like the economy is run on the hard-work of the working class people.. Also how stupid to mention that the tax loopholes should exist as the rich can help in unemployment and homelessness like the government cant..

The "fair share" would be if every person will pay exactly the same tax not in percentage but in absolute terms. Why a person should pay more, if he's using the same services? Taxing stock returns is a complete nonsense.

@@abnerruiz4011 in a progressive tax system that we have, it is rigged to penalized those who are the most successful. The bottom aren’t struggling. We live in a nation where if you are at the poverty line (17,800$) a year, your roughly in the top 10% of the world. As our culture progresses to becoming more and more entitled, the wage gap is destined to grow and grow and grow.

I'm not even remotely rich but I have to ask why the people who get the least for their tax dollars should pay more. Let's compare - low income - low taxes, welfare, free schooling, playgrounds, parks, free lunches, discount utility programs, food stamps - all costing tax payers money. Rich person - private school, included lunches, or money for take out, private yards. Seems to me the poor should be working off their debt and the rich should pay the least and if a rich person just paid 2% of their income they'd be paying about what 400 poor people pay yet using less in benefits of those taxes than any one of them. You can say what about roads or blah blah blah - they pay sales taxes, they pay property tax etc. etc. I have no problem with the government helping out the poor - what I don't think is good is something for nothing. What happened to the public works program - help build roads or a dam and get rewarded with money and food and potential for getting jobs in both the public and private sector. Funny how hollywood celebs who always insist that people should pay more taxes are the ones getting caught not paying their taxes.

You know the tax code is available at your local library. Or you can even buy books on how to save and invest your money. If you would just stop watching TV and start investing your time into learning how the tax code works, you could really stop worrying about how the rich avoid paying taxes and start learning how to become the rich.
