Exactly.

Seems like a definite loss of "integrity", where the way of being is "I am the possibility of attempting to hide all my taxable transactions."

Department of Hi Integrity Tidbits Department, subdirectorate of Authenticity, district of Headaches, Rackets, Fuck Yous, and getting Off Ytt:

"When it comes to attracting celebrity wealth seeking shelter from taxes, the Cayman Islands and other classic Caribbean tax havens are receding in favor like so many waves on the beach, according to tax experts here and overseas. While old-school, offshore tax havens -- the warm ones with tropical fish, off-the-shelf holding companies sporting post-office-box addresses, and scant regulation or transparency -- still attract money, they are largely patronized, tax lawyers and entertainment bankers say, by hedge funds and private equity firms looking to protect lush trading profits from taxes.

But for earnings derived from [b:2f4312aefe]intellectual property such as royalties, the Netherlands has become a tax shelter of choice. With celebrities lending their names and images to clothing lines, licensing their hit songs to corporate sponsors, seeking roles in Hollywood and engaging in other ventures that generate significant taxable income, the Dutch system, which does not tax royalties, offers a nifty shelter[/color:2f4312aefe][/b:2f4312aefe].

As they flock to Amsterdam, celebrities are taking a leaf out of the playbook of major corporations that also use Dutch tax shelters to help reduce or eliminate the royalty taxes on patents, another form of intellectual property.

''The Caribbeans are thinking about trading profits, not royalties, so the smaller European countries like Holland have had to be creative, tax-wise,'' said David Pullman, an investment banker in New York who caters to entertainers and athletes. ''They are going for the high-end stuff and don't want to be seen as shady like some Caribbean haven.''

Many of the world's multinational corporations, like Coca-Cola, Nike, Ikea and Gucci, have set up holding companies here in recent years to take advantage of tax shelters nearly identical to the ones that the Rolling Stones and U2 use. An additional draw is the[b:2f4312aefe] Dutch Finance Ministry's recent willingness to issue advance rulings that effectively bless the tax shelters, a fast-track process that has lured in companies and individuals seeking to use the Netherlands as a tax shelter[/color:2f4312aefe].[/b:2f4312aefe]


[i:2f4312aefe]Ahhhhhh soooooo.... we're not in it for the money you see.... we're all about Transformation ! Transformation of taxable revenue into tax free revenue! How Authentic ! We LUV U !!!!!! Gimme Hug!!!![/i:2f4312aefe]
