      Reminder that it’s all revenue PLUS 10%. So it effectively makes whatever bullshit money making scheme they want to use, cost money instead.

        Good to know you dont mind the profiteering off fraud.

        Fine is a penalty, not a cost of business, not a sales tax. A penalty.

        100k fine on 1 mill refund is nothing. 1 mill fine on 1 mill refund is a fine.

          My guy. Reading comprehension. I did not say 10%. I said 10% ON TOP OF ANY EARNINGS.

          As in, if a corp earns 1 million, the fine levied would be 1.1 million.

          Christ, go back to 2nd grade.

        Its a 100% refund with a 10% fine. Dont conflate the refunded fraudulent sales with the fine.
