So we're talking business here.
I've been running business here for 30 + years, did not make big money yet
but did not lose money either. Most expenses are eligible as write-off
rent, auto expens ...
well this topic is 打工 vs. 自做老板, in this case, he/she gets to write of bills before he/she pays the income tax, and he/she has done it for 30+ years. so what I think in this case, being the boss is much better then a job. I respect you for staying in your business for 30+ years.
You know most small business 老板 have to pay Double Taxation, right?
打工 only pay taxation once.
Yes I do understand. Well, he said he didn't lose any money. I guess as a business owner, one or the accountant would have used all the possible way to avoid paying as much tax as possible. Maybe he/she only get $1,000 paycheque per month? Maybe he/she has an excellent accountant? Maybe in his/her business deals with lots of cash?
retail required you to buy inventory in and hopefully to sell them
food business required you to buy ingredient but however the cook combine the ingredients is up to the cook. In my opinion, food business is easier than retails since every one has to eat.
