The strategy allows corporations and wealthy individuals to shift money they earned in the U.S. to low-tax or tax-free jurisdictions, often tiny places like Bermuda and the Cayman Islands, and then funnel the money back into the country. The lost revenue from such tax-avoidance schemes equals $434 for the average U.S. taxpayer, according to the report. Floridas share of the lost revenue amounts to $4.4 billion, or about $290 per taxpayer lower than the national average because Florida contributes a smaller share of federal taxes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:336455 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
