If the IRS wanted to pursue this and prove that this did occur, it would be a punishable offense. It also depends on citizenship and the laws of the respective country. What falls under the defintion of tax evasion for some countries, might fall into different categories in other countries (or might not even be illegal). I know all of this would be like a federal crime where I live, but I don't know about the USA, UK, Columbia, Spain, Malta & Lithuania. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scallywally 626 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 OK Lets get something straight. Madonna had said in the past she pays full taxes I every country and doesnt even mind paying higher taxes so **** the haters. She lives in 3 countries and pays all the taxes, she shouldn't be on the list. OH she has an off shore account for MEDICAL SUPPLIES!!!!!! Is anybody going to knock her for that, for saving lives??? Oh ffs.Take that, U2 the bloody queen, ect that was for themselves. Errm Madge was for medical supplies so if anybody on here questions that?? They have issues.

Shielding your money from paying taxes on it is most definitely against the law in the US. The IRS would have a case with these people, but I don't know who they would want to go after.

Mythos 3,199 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 54 minutes ago, Supersonic said: I think everybody should care about this because the upper 1% of population is not only filthy rich but also evading taxes, which causes massive pressure on the other 99% of the people to come up with the money that was lost. They're not paying their dues even though it is desperately needed. Other big companies and people doing it doesn't excuse it, matter of fact, it makes it worse. I know, and still nobody is doing anything about it. In fact, EU is investigating Apples deal with Ireland, and people were defending Apple... Come one, people even put a rich man into white house, to solve their problems? Like for real? Most people are so weird, and i really don't think they care at all about this issue.

Well this clearly proves that wrong Sorry, but I believe evidence and FACTS over words and what people say they do. Actions speak louder than words. But if you wanna choose to believe her even when she's been proven she lied She remains a tax EVADER though, along with all the others named in the Paradise Papers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have issues. the text says she had shares in a company making medical supplies, not that she was making them for charity. Medical supplies can be anything, it doesn't have to be medicine for saving lives. You are interpreting it as you think it makes M look better than the rest.

Andy McQueen 4,484 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I'm upset because... Here in Austria, they hate on migrants/refugees, they hate on beggars and the homeless sitting by the street. They are voting for reactionary politicians like Kurz and Strache (right-wing, conservative, the worst of the worst). And yet, while we, the middle class, have all to work really hard and pay our rants and food and taxes accurately (otherwise police is here soon and you get in huge trouble), the rich-- the really, really extremely rich -- don't even have to care about this. Makes me so upset. Not because I hate the rich or envy them (I love Richard Branson, I do like Madonna, Shakira etc.), but it's the INJUSTICE in this whole world and on this complete society of this unfair planet that makes me just cringe all the time ... If it's that easy, I would probably do too such financial crimes if I was a billionaire or millionaire, since why should I even care in such a rotten capitalistic and neoliberal system and meritocracy? I mean, I would try my best to act more altruistic then egoistic, of course, but you can't say Madonna hasn't done lots of charity and stuff. She even build a hospital now in Africa. Richard Branson has done tons of good stuff to make everything better and this world a better place ... It's just the overall system. It sucks so freakin' much ...
