You justified what I said. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) The implication was that they make donations for the write-offs. That's not accurate, because it's never cheaper to make a donation and write it off than it is to just pay the taxes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] julietOscarEcho@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 year ago Not quite never. You just need the tax rate plus marginal change in lost benefits/increased obligations to exceed 100%. For example there's a breakpoint in the UK around childcare over 100k income that makes it way worth salary sacrificing to get below if you have kids. I can imagine there are similar niche things for small businesses around audit requirements or whatever, but not enough of an expert to know. permalink fedilink source parent
