Talk:Eugene Melnyk

message: Every bio I could find on this fellow claims he is a benefactor of the Canadian Tourette Syndrome Association.  But, there's no such thing.  It's either the Tourette Syndrome Foundation of Canada, or the Tourette Syndrome Association of the USA.  I changed it to the Canadian entry, but it's not at all clear from his many online bios which one it actually is:  if he's a benefactor, one would hope he would know the correct name of the organization. Maybe someone can clear that up. Sandy (Talk) 21:44, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  OSC Allegations? 

message: The international business sector laws of Barbados state that any offshore entity must file duplicate filings.  One of these must be filed in the home country where the money can from, and one in Barbados.  That way there's no "veil of offshore secrecy".  Further, in order to comply with money laundering laws money sources must be very clear.  Any money brought into Barbados as an offshore entity must be repatriated to the country of origin.  It cannot use Barbados as a step to another location to help muddy it's source.  Further, in order to keep offshore money from getting mixed-up with the local economy any offshore business unit operating in Barbados are NOT allowed to (legally) sell goods to Barbadian nationals or CARICOM nationals.  The entity would have to establish a separate unit outside of the region in order to sell goods in Barbados.  This keeps Barbadian-based business from taking advantage of the international business legislation for themselves.  In terms of shielding from Canadian taxes, that too isn't exactly correct.  Since companies are not allowed to pass profits through Barbados to other destinations, all profits in Barbados must eventually come back to Canada.  In so doing, the Canadian shareholders must pay taxes on all profits coming back from any Barbados based entity (if the company is publicly held). So in actuality what most Canadian companies are doing is shifting their burden of taxation from themselves to their shareholders. However due to those tax savings, the companies are able to return bigger profits. So in actuality it balances out in the end.  Many Canadian companies have used this as a way to boost their profits and in turn, use it as a way to level their global playing field by lowering their immediate taxation and placing it on shareholders. So if Melnyk leaves Barbados has must take it back to Canada.  And at that time, when it comes back onshore it could be subject to taxation. CaribDigita (talk) 21:40, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  I removed the comment "free of Canadian taxes" because that isn't totally correct.

message: The current infobox picture where he's looking away from the camera and we only see the side of his head seems like an odd choice. Surely there are other, better pictures available, such as this one that the Ottawa Senators just posted.

message: Until I just fixed it, it referred to Melnyk above his picture as Eugene "Krabs" Melnyk.  Apparently this is a reddit joke likening him to Mr. Krabs from Spongebob.  Since this wasn't actually a real nickname for the man, I removed it. Erictyhu (talk) 04:48, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
