想用黄金当工资来避税?可没那么简单

日期:2017-08-09

英国税务海关总署近期接手了一起案件,案中两名企业高管拿到的公司报酬是以黄金的形式被支付的,而这些黄金随后被立即出售,这被认为是典型的避税手段。事实上,20年前,用黄金当工资来避税确实是很多企业的选择。
  
在历史上,黄金曾经被作为货币,而今,黄金的功能更多体现在避险保值的方面。但最近,一例用黄金支付工资来避税的案例引起的关注。
  
英国税务海关总署(HMRC)近期接受的一桩案件中,两名公司高管拿到了价值15万英镑的报酬,但这些报酬的形式却是以即买即卖黄金的形式支付的。

据悉,GAAR(一般反避税条例)顾问小组表示,这些高管在事先咨询了怎样获得奖金才不会被扣税的方法,“雇主用黄金来支付给雇员奖金,且雇员之后立即出售,这是非常不寻常的。”
  
GAAR的报告称:“除了避税因素,这个案例中的奖金完全没有必要牵涉到黄金。”

HMRC表示,以这种方式来支付奖金,这两名高管就逃掉了收入税,而企业也可以拿这个奖金去做税务减免。  

事实上,去年夏天HMRC就警告过英国的企业,不要试图用黄金来支付报酬以求避税,并称一些企业还在使用这一20年前最流行的避税方法。
