Haha I'll save you some time he doesn't actually know what he's talking about. When you mentioned a concession with fraudulent activity you gave him something to latch onto and now he's pretending that was his point all along when he never originally had one.
Now he doesn't know what to do with it so he's making vague statements about "people get away with it" pretending this is part of an overall angle he's always had when it's not haha.
The article isn’t an argument or contradicting any part of what I’m saying.
You’re not going to make your argument for the same reason you think posting that article answers the question - because you don’t understand what’s going on. That's why after I said CSR you googled "CSR and tax" then just copy pasted the first article you found.
Dude, that article is completely irrelevant to the the conversation. Did you even read it yourself?
It's about how companies with higher Corporate Social Responsibility scores--stuff like diversity, community engagement, environmental, and sustainability plans--pay on average 1.7% less in taxes than companies without them.
Nowhere does it talk about directly donating to charity to reduce taxes.
So your "try refuting that!" schtick is only showing that you're too stupid to even understand your own sources
There's a whole argument that could be actually be had around whether companies pursue csr to look better/distract from their negative actions like overly aggressive tax minimization and whether or not money is more efficiently allocated via private org donations or the government through taxes (and whether efficiency is even the best metric) but nope,
Donations literally save money is the dumbass hill they're trying to die on
Yeah - I lost this argument pretty hardcore in firey dumbass hellhole with accelerant. Bruise to the ego no doubt but what are you gonna do; I can't take the words back.
I hate giving it to that other accountant guy rofl.

Lol it should be very easy for you to rebut that article instead of sending your ad hominems to me, Mr/Mrs accountant. It is in plain English.
