One of the founders of Facebook, Eduardo Saverin (30), willing to release U.S. citizenship to avoid taxes after Facebook will soon do go public (IPO).
In fact, became a U.S. citizen is the dream of almost everyone.
Reported by Yahoo News, which is a Brazilian-born Saverin, became a U.S. citizen in 1998 after moving to the country in 1992.
Saverin releasing his citizenship last year and chose to become citizens of Singapore who do not provide excessive tax burden.
This step is done to save money Saverin 4 percent of shares owned on Facebook. Stocks are estimated at 3-4 billion dollars.
However, that does not mean he can be free just because he had to pay an exit tax on their shares in Facebook. If he was a U.S. citizen, she must pay capital gains tax if the value of Facebook shares continue to rise.
Saverin is not the first to do the telling it. At least 1780 people shed their U.S. citizenship last year.
In 2008 compared to only about 235 people. Avoid paying taxes in the U.S. becomes an industry.
