No, they do not - the owners own the company - you know .... the big shareholders? Ask them sometime... go tell Gina she doesn't own the joint... the little people are shareholders, not owners, and they are buying shares for an investment and to earn income.
All owners are shareholders.
Gina may have say 50 million shares, others 2000 shares. They all own the company. At the AGM resolutions are passed on the back of the the number of votes. The number of votes depends on the shareholding. The dividends are paid on the back of the shareholding.
Yes - but you need to be a majority shareholder before you can say you own the company... the rest are just useful cash donors...
The fact that votes are carried on the back of shareholding shows that.... takes a hell of a lot of small shareholders working together to make a difference... and even then with Gina etc, they can't ever get a majority vote...
The silly idea, based on this furphy of shareholders owning the company, that somehow shareholders shouldn't pay income tax on income earned, since the company has paid company tax, is a nonsense - companies are liable for company tax and fees etc, individuals are liable for income tax.
Furthermore companies don;t pay income tax.. if they did their tax bill would be massively higher, and their deductions severely limited.
Be content with what you've got - don't go stirring the sleeping dragon... you won't lose under Shorten's reversion unless you are already cheating.
You must know, by now, my simple view that DI is the same as tax withheld for a PAYE earner... and some can be refunded depending on income.
The real problem of course, is that too many hide income in too many ways... ways that the PAYE earner cannot. As I said -n this is a kind of Robodebt approach - with ShortenCo seeking to take first and then force any complainants to come forward with their tax details in full....
I wonder how many will just not bother???
Interesting times.. very interesting.
Thank you for your courteous discussion as opposed to dick-face down there...... start on me, will he.... he'd better smile like it's a joke when he calls me a dope when he's raving his limited theory on the subject...
