Title: General Electric pay no tax on huge profits
Post by: Denny Crane on December 09, 2011, 11:27:55 am
As Bill Bonner reports in Money Week, US giant General Electric, filed a 57,000 page federal tax return earlier this year but did not pay any tax on profits of $14 billion.
GE was able to utilise various legal loopholes for the deductions using a team of legal and tax experts.
Whilst GE keeps it's profits, the US economy gets short-changed and society gets poorer.
