There is always that pinch that taxpayers feel when paying their levies. This pinch actually is worse for people who a lot of money. PAYE commonly known as pay as you earn seems to oppress those earning more than those people who earn peanuts. This seems to reduce the gap between those people earning more and those earning less hence bridging the gap between the rich and poor people. But some rich people have found a way to avoid paying taxes legally.

Rich people and some corporation use legal and also quasi-legal tricks basically to hang or cling onto their money. Though there are some other methods being used to avoid paying levies that are illegal. If one uses unlawful methods to escape remitting their taxes then they risk being heavily penalized or serving a jail term.

But there are those methods which are considered as not being illegal. If one understands tax laws clearly, they can avoid remitting their taxes simply by using the following methods. One can learn how to manage their capital gains. This is done by first understanding the prevailing rates on capital gains and classifying your assets under the class with lowest rate.

This has been a significant corporation asset to dodge paying heavy taxes. Apart from the corporations, there are quite a number of popular celebrities who have numerously taken advantage of their global travels and also relocations to simply avoid remitting income tax. Some of these celebrities include the rolling stones and David Bowie among others.

Another great tactic is simply to take a small portion of compensation or income as stock options. The options are only taxed when they are being exercised. Tax deferral can be used to avoid paying levies. Some wealthy people enjoy same tax-deferred advantage or benefits of program for retirement like IRAs among other. Because of wealth, these people are able to max them out yearly hence benefiting entirely from the limits basically allowed by law.

Capital gains management is basically one of the ways used by rich people to save on tax. Assets classified under long-term capital gain that is if they are held approximately for more than one year are generally taxed at a flat rate of 15% and for rich people their rate is 20%. So these wealthy people take advantage of this and classify their short-term assets under long-term assets.

Some of these shady businesses include selling brand good for supermarkets without actually impacting value of the major or main brand. Another way is through equity swap which is basically a tax evasion method. It is actually an official agreement between two parties who have common interest that is reducing their taxes and agree to exchange their gains and losses of set of assets but without actually ownership transfer.

The swaps are supposed to be pegged to fixed rate such as LIBOR, implying participants should expect fixed return that is either in a single payment or even at various predetermined points. Other people will try as much as possible to avoid their capital gains tax.
