removed item(s)

I removed "*Walgreen ^[1]"

^ http://fortune.com/2014/07/02/destination-maternity-tax-inversion/

from the list section as the source does not support the implication that the company has substantial (or any) untaxed profits. Walgreens was or is considering moving its headquarters overseas for tax benefit reasons, yes. All of its foreign earnings may have been fully taxed, perhaps, though. --do ncr am 21:01, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pulitzer Prize

I wonder if any editor reading this has the time to pull out some information for this article from: http://www.pulitzer.org/citation/2015-Explanatory-Reporting Thanks in advance, Ottawahitech (talk) 17:47, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, thanks, Ottawahitech, that's a very helpful catch! At that link is the award statement and a bit more; the award statement is:

For a distinguished example of explanatory reporting that illuminates a significant and complex, demonstrating mastery of the subject, lucid writing and clear presentation, using any available journalistic tool, Ten thousand dollars ($10,000). / Awarded to Zachary R. Mider of Bloomberg News for a painstaking, clear and entertaining explanation of how so many U.S. corporations dodge taxes and why lawmakers and regulators have a hard time stopping them.

There's also a "Works" tab there, which lists the 8 or 9 or so "explanatory" news articles that Mider wrote during the year, and there are some more tabs. All or most of the articles are available as PDFs that can be downloaded. I haven't downloaded any of them from there yet, but I may have read some of them when they came out. An effort to improve this Wikipedia list-article and related articles, including Repatriation, using those sources and perhaps more, seems like a very nicely teed up project for someone. Like for a masters student who could get credit for a term paper by doing the Wikipedia writing on this topic. Or perhaps for an undergraduate thesis project, if those are done by business students anywhere, or if a non-business student could do it, which seems possible (i.e. an economics or political science or government student). Hmm, how/where can this be suggested or requested? Thanks again, --do ncr am 00:38, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The higher dividends to the shareholder are taxed though

The higher dividends (through the company not paying taxes) does become taxed in that nation via the higher dividends the shareholder gets. So it works itself out. The government ALWAYS gets their money. Don't fool yourself. IF you tax it on the company's end, and get smaller dividends, or tax it on the shareholder's end and get *larger* dividends. The point is profit still gets taxed. CaribDigita (talk) 02:28, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
