Thry - You guys are making an assumption that this donation is the only tax minimisation strategy.

 ???WTF not at all.

Mods - if it is easy, could you please create a new thread called Philanthropy and move everything from reply #324 to there.  It's gone off the rails.

No.
Which is why i wasnt implying what shawny said i was implying.

There are a million and 1 ways to benefit from things, shawny assumed there was 1.

I listed a couple, but its just the tip of the iceberg.
Kickbacks are another.

I donate to you, you get my fashion label some shelf space in paris and milan.

I donate to you, you give me some inside info on stock tips.

.....get me a good real estate deal.

Rich helping the rich.
Not you, shawny and dodge.

Solely on that original donation mentioned there's no benefit.

Add in some tax deductions for travel, costs of living like hotels, airfares, car expenses, educational stuff for "research", other income tax breaks such as paying yourself via a contracted company based in the cayman Islands and then he tips into charity to help and comes out with the deals you mention all to look like a philanthropist.

Thats not to condemn him.  Good on him, probably costs him nothing and gives him the exact perks and public reputation, but its not that long ago that Lewis Hamilton had a very different reputation in the world.

Perhaps time and age have humbled him.  Declaring an outright position here is fraught with danger.  He might be an A1 bloke, or he could be a real tosser.  You wouldnt know for sure. 

Good luck to him and all that support him. 



Thryleon what are you on about! 

My comments were in reply to Kruddler post saying if your going to lose money to the government via tax he might as well give it to a charity. I explained that paying to a charity instead of paying the is not equal so implying it is was incorrect 

None of my posts discussed anything more but to clarify there is a vast difference.

While im not a big fan of LH his charity work and/or his reasoning why I never commented on - that was all the spin Kruddler added to not admit his first post was incorrect.

Anyhow thats it from me on the matter, I can see i wont convince him so wasting my time.

Much better by Gout Gout last night.
In a 150 metre race Gout finished 3rd behind Noah Lyles who set a new world best over 150 metres (14.67.)
Gout's time was 14.96 which was a new Australian best and just shy of the old world best of 14.92.

At the same meet
Peter Bol had a win and set a new Oceania record of 2:15.13 for the 1000 meters.

Stop your usual spinning to try and be right.

Your post very clearly implied there was no difference giving to charity or getting it taken via tax.

There is big difference as i explained.

The end.

There is a big difference in the hypothetical world you created based on words i didnt say.

On that we can agree.
