UJeff Bezos, umsunguli kunye ne-CEO yeAmazon.SAUL LOEB / AFP / Getty Izithombe Unokuziva ngathi ungumcwangcisi wezezimali oyintshatsheli emva kokugcwalisa irhafu yonyaka ophelileyo, nangona uhlawule umrhumo omkhulu kwi-accountant okanye isoftware ethile yerhafu. Kodwa ungaze ucinge ngokubetha iAmazon, ehlawule i-0 yeedola kwi-federal tax kunyaka ophelileyo-ngaphandle kokufumana i-11.2 yezigidigidi zeerandi kwinzuzo yase-US ingxelo kwiZiko loMgaqo-nkqubo weRhafu kunye nezoQoqosho (i-ITEP) kwiveki ephelileyo.
Kungcono (kwiAmazon), inyanzelise i-129 yezigidi zeerandi kwirhafu yengeniso ngo-2018. Ngokwepesenti, oko kusebenza kwinqanaba elifanelekileyo lerhafu -1.2 yeepesenti ye-e-commerce enkulu, endaweni yomthetho osemthethweni weepesenti ezingama-21 irhafu yengeniso phantsi komThetho omtsha wokuCuthwa kweRhafu kunye neMisebenzi (TCJA), eqale ukusebenza kulo nyaka uphelileyo.

Ukuba uhlawule umrhumo wonyaka we-119 ukuze ube lilungu le-Prime Minister yaseAmazon, uhlawule ngaphezulu kwiAmazon kunokuba uhlawule irhafu, uSenator uBernie Sanders ugculele isigebenga se-e-commerce kwi-tweet ngoLwesine odlulileyo.
Yikholwa okanye hayi, ibingunyaka wesibini ngokulandelelana ukuba iAmazon ikwazile ukunqanda nayiphi na irhafu yengeniso. Ngo-2017, le nkampani ayihlawulanga nto kwi-5.6 yezigidigidi zeenzuzo zase-US kwaye yafuna ukubuyiswa kwerhafu eyi-140 yezigidi. Kodwa eyona nto ikhathazayo kwaye iyabhidisa konke oku kungenzeka kukuba akukho mntu-ngaphandle kwababhali-zincwadi baseAmazon, kunjalo-kubonakala ngathi unolwazi lokuba iAmazon yakwazi njani ukwenza loo nto.
Kunzima ukwazi ngqo ukuba benza ntoni, utshilo uSteve Wamhoff, umlawuli we-ITEP womgaqo-nkqubo werhafu EzeMali ze-Yahoo . Kumaxwebhu abo oluntu, abazibeki isicwangciso sabo serhafu. Ke akucaci ncam ukuba leliphi ikhefu [bathatha ithuba]. Batsho ngokungathandabuzekiyo ukuba iikhredithi zerhafu… Into ekuyakufuneka siyazi kukuba ngebabenazo iimfanelo ezifanelekileyo zerhafu yengeniso ukuba bekungekho nge-TCJA? Ingayiyo. Kunzima ukuxelela.
Ukuphendula ingxelo ye-ITEP, iAmazon yathi iikhredithi zerhafu ezisetyenziswe ekufayeleni i-2018 zibandakanya ukwehla kwemali eyinkunzi kunye nophando nophuhliso (R&D) iikhredithi zotyalo mali. Irhafu kukhetho lwabasebenzi lwesitokhwe nabo badlale indima enkulu ekunciphiseni iirhafu ezifanelekileyo. Kwi-2018, ukhetho lwesitokhwe lwasetyenziselwa abasebenzi bayo yonke imigangatho, yatsho inkampani, ke ukuncitshiswa kwerhafu kumaxabiso ezabelo kubangele ukonga irhafu enkulu kunakwiminyaka edlulileyo.
Ngokukodwa, isixa esikhulu solondolozo lwerhafu sinokuvela kwinto ebizwa ngokuba kukuhla kwexabiso lebhonasi phantsi kwe-TCJA, uPaul Gevertzman, iqabane lerhafu kwinkampani ye-accounting ese-New York i-Anchin, uxelele i-Braganca.
Ukuba uhlawule umrhumo wonyaka we-119 ukuze ube lilungu le-Nkulumbuso yeAmazon, uhlawule ngaphezulu kwiAmazon kunokuba ihlawule irhafu.

Phantsi komthetho wokuhla kwenkunzi ngaphambi kwe-TCJA, iinkampani zazivunyelwe ukuba zibhale ukuya kuthi ga kwiipesenti ezingama-50 kwiindleko ezifanelekileyo, ezinje ngokuthengwa kwezixhobo okanye ulwakhiwo olutsha lweziko, utshilo uGevertzman. Inxalenye yokuxolelwa kwirhafu yayiyiipesenti ezingama-50 ngo-2017 kwaye yayicwangciselwe ukuba iphume ngokuthe ngcembe ngo-2018 nango-2019. Kodwa uhlengahlengiso lwerhafu kunyaka ophelileyo lwazongamela ezi shedyuli kwaye lavumela iinkampani ukuba zibhale iipesenti ezili-100 zenkcitho efanelekileyo kunyaka wokuqala.
Ngokuchazwa kweAmazon ngokwakho ingxelo yinyaka , iikhredithi zerhafu yomdibaniso yenkampani kunyaka ophelileyo yayihambelana ikakhulu nophando lwe-US federal kunye nophuhliso lwamatyala. Nangona iikhredithi ze-R & D bezikade zikhona kudala ngaphambi kokuba i-TCJA ivele, utshintsho kumthetho werhafu kunyaka ophelileyo luchaphazele indlela ezinokusetyenziswa ngayo iikhredithi zerhafu.
I-TCJA iyisusile enye i-tax encinci yemibutho, inkqubo apho iinkampani kwakufuneka zihlawule ubuncinci iirhafu-nokuba zingaphi na iintsuku zerhafu ababenelungelo lokuzifumana. Ngesi sizathu, iinkampani ezininzi ziya kugcina ukuncitshiswa kwe-R & D kwabo kwiifilitha zerhafu xa bengakwazi ukunciphisa iirhafu zokugqibela ezantsi kweyona rhafu incinci.
Kodwa ngaphandle kwalo mda oqala kwi-2018, iinkampani zazivunyelwe ukuphatha iikhredithi ze-R & D ezingasetyenziswanga ukuya kuthi ga kwiminyaka engama-20. IAmazon kusenokwenzeka ukuba isebenzise iikhredithi zeR & D ababezigcinile iminyaka kunye neminyaka. Eli linokuba linani elikhulu lokukhululwa ngenxa yotshintsho lomthetho kunyaka ophelileyo, utshilo uGevertzman.
Ukunyaniseka, oko akuthethi ukuba iAmazon ayikaze ihlawule irhafu. Ngapha koko, ngaphambi kuka-2017, inkampani yayihlawula irhafu yengeniso ngokuchanekileyo. Ngokutsho kohlalutyo luka-2017 ngu INew York Times , IAmazon ihlawule umyinge werhafu yonyaka ye-13 yeepesenti-egubungela i-federal, urhulumente, ingingqi kunye nakwamanye amazwe-phakathi ko-2007 kunye no-2015.
IAmazon ihlawula zonke iirhafu ekufuneka sizihlawule eMelika nakwilizwe ngalinye esisebenza kulo, kubandakanya ukuhlawula i-2.6 yezigidigidi zerhafu kumzi-mveliso kunye nokwenza ingxelo nge-3.4 yezigidigidi zeerandi kwinkcitho yerhafu kule minyaka mithathu idlulileyo, utshilo isithethi seAmazon kwingxelo kuMbonisi.
