Q: Can we skip on the tax?
A: I cannot be paid for my work and give you a 20% bulk discount AND pay the 13% taxes that I owe.
I also cannot sell it to you "under the table" because I entered the perfumery alcohol in inventory, I need to account for it one way or another. Claiming more than 12% shrinkage is unreasonable, so I would have to pay taxes on it for personal use. And since I use roads, schools, sidewalks, libraries and other amenities provided for by taxes, I don't evade paying my share.
I hope you understand.
When I give you "tax off", I'm just marking the price down and paying the taxes for you. Because I can't commit fraud. Mike Robinson, The Paddle Hut
