I just had a revelation while reading my cellphone bill. There are 3 small fees under "Additional Sprint Charges" and the astrisked explanation: *"These charges are not taxes or government-imposed fees. They are charges Sprint elects to collect to pay governmental taxes and fees that are levied directly on Sprint, and to recover the administration costs of funding and complying with government regulation and programs."
So the government taxes Sprint, and Sprint passes along the costs to customers. I'm assuming all corporations figure in their own taxes to the price of whatever their selling. The logical conclusion then is that the end-consumer is paying all taxes for corporations since whatever you buy is going to have that corporation's tax liability rolled up in the cost.
In other words, corporations pay no taxes, or rather, we pay their taxes for them.
Since I've already paid my taxes (and was charged $20 for efiling), can I invoice my employer (or perhaps Sprint) for the amount of my own tax liabilities plus administrative costs?

Originally posted by Darth SpongeI'm assuming that, as these taxes are passed onto the consumer and the prices will be higher, that we are effectively paying tax on top of the tax passed onto us. Nice.

Ps i pay double in taxes compared to the regular guy.
My business pays about 43% of its profits in taxes.
Business the passes out divedends to the shareholders with the money that is left over. That money is again taxed at about 40%.
So I pay 83% of ever dollar I make to the government.
I would like to see the Bush tax break he gave on dividends which ended this scenario a few years back to continue.
Thanks.

Of course businesses factor in direct tax (VAT and income tax) into the price of their product. They'd also factor in the other indirect taxes; building/water rates, etc.

Originally posted by geniusmy only source of income is my salary from my employer. Can I pass along my taxes and extra costs to them? No, ofcourse not. I cannot adjust my earnings to match my costs and then add in profit for myself, but Corporations can continually advance prices in order to recoup any losses. We call it inflation because we think of it terms of increasing prices, but it's actually a deterioration of our money's actual value. As inflation goes up, wages always lag behind (by years), ensuring that companies will always get all the money back and wage earners will always only break even.
i'm a student. i don't pay taxes 🙂
more on topic-they are a company. you, the consumer, are their only method of income. of course you foot the bill for their taxes-who else would?!? you also pay for the rent on the building, the postage on the letter they went, their salaries etc...
but I have a jar of change, so my future is pretty secure.
Originally posted by Darth SpongeWages have been rising faster than inflation for many years now. So unless you are a pensioner you should be doing better.
