Отрывок из книги
For Katherine Lipsher
…who, in the 16 years we have been with one another, has never quite understood how or why I have developed my business but who has backed me 200 percent all the time.
.....
The practical benefits of this volume can be highlighted by informing readers of what they will not find in the pages that follow. You will not be exposed to the musings of an academic. Nor will you find the sanitized language of an industry spokesman. Lispher’s voice is one of real-world grit and authenticity. And no relevant topic is off limits; he tells it like it is. If that requires a frank discussion of corruption and its consequences for taxpayers, then so be it. He is at once an optimist and a realist.
Above all else, Lipsher appreciates cross-border taxation as contextual human drama. Governments tax economic activity because they must. Politicians offer tax breaks to their constituents because they must. And taxpayers will move heaven and earth to reduce their tax burden, again, because they must. Hindus would characterize the balance as reciprocal dharma, each factor tugging the other in equal but opposite directions.
