approximately 27% of anti-HIV-positive donations during 1998–2000. Sexual

AGI is calculated by taking an individuals gross income and subtracting the income tax code's enumerated deductions, and is an important benchmark determining certain other allowed benefits."

。该网站声称，一名旧金山法DF弟子暴出FLG“ShenYun”演出存在巨额偷税漏税问题。
，指控shenyun演出賺了很多錢，扣除租賃費用及其它開支四百萬美元，shenyun全年的
淨利潤至少也有兩千五百萬美元。但是繳納了極少的稅。FLG採取虛列開支，比如讓内
部义工虚取補貼，侵吞和重复计算功友的隱性捐獻，支付以極其高額的廣告費等办法来
增加成本，藉以逃稅。并举例说FLG神韵2009年1月份的那幾場，觀眾約有1-2萬餘人，
而票價從48-280美元不等，保守估計，也得有80-100萬美元的門票收入，但没有缴纳一

一种是制造商的REBATE，这种REBATE是要算税的，比如车价23K，制造商REBATE是3K，
那算税额还是23K，就算是当场你只付20K，还是按23K算。当然那种你付23K，然后再收
到3K的CHECK的情况，也是23K算。
另外一种是DEALER的REBATE，就是你跟DEALER的砍价。这是不算税的。比如23K的价，
你砍到了20K，那就是按20K算税。
