Edit: several commentors have asked why I posted this link. The entire framing of the article and source paper is based on the idea that tax evasion is bad because of its relation to inequality. This book shows that the concept of inequality is misguided and shows a better framework for human flourishing.
If someone is following the letter of the law, how can they be cheating?
Well, they can be cheating if they are violating the ‘spirit’ of the law or some unwritten but generally accepted notion about the law. In this case, that assumption is that taxes should always always be progressive and redistributive, right?
That’s how it’s an alternate view point.
(Personally, I’m in favor of negative income tax, but I think Yaron Brook is a talented thinker and speaker. I did not know this book of his existed, and am glad it was brought up.)
I’m searching but if you find anything on what constitutes ‘hiding’ in Norwegian tax law as it relates to offshore accounts it would be much appreciated.
I have a feeling ‘hiding’ is another one of those spirit of the law / unwritten societal rules sort of thing in this context.
The US is also very unique in which it’s the only country that expects you to pay taxes on money earned overseas as well.
That's as far as I got.
