TMNT & Other Paramount Movies Allegedly Part Of Massive Tax Fraud
Quote:
Lots of Legal-ese gobbeldygook in there. Long story short, "Big Corporation Cheats the Government; Grass Green, Water Wet." But I figured it's relevant because TMNT is specifically cited as part of Viacom's massive tax evasion scheme. EDIT: Can a Mod please fix the spelling of "Paramount" in the thread title? Thanks in advance.

Interesting. I was just about to post this.
I feel like a major scandal is about to brew within the entertainment/media industry. |

CNBC covered this story. They are not labeling this as tax fraud, it seems more like a loophole they took advantage of.

This just seemed appropriate to post here:
Funny, this seems like something that was more likely to have happened during the franchise's fledgling years when all the international licenses were a nebulous hodgepodge. One would think ViacomCBS would be savvy enough to get away with corruption and "tie up the loose ends" when necessary.

I could have sworn this was all something a few years ago, like when the Paramount movies were actually contemporary? Or was that some other legal trouble with Viacom?
Anyway, what really is the threshold with a company before they're allowed to get away with not paying taxes? Is it at all consistent?
