past few years (ten to be exact) the monster of misinformation: Televisa, through its Foundation, has been charged to perform various actions alleged "welfare" as the computer donation program of corneal transplants and stronger project and economically profitable and has led his "altruism" business, we refer to the Telethon.
But to get in the environment, and whether the readers of these lines is one that ignores the issue that is being played, try to recreate the salient features of the telethon, without much effort, imagine a visceral ad blitz exploiting physical disabilities hundreds of children as if they were the subject of exhibit (of course, this without any purpose of raising awareness about a culture of inclusion, nondiscrimination, etc. .), making you feel bad because you are "lucky" to be able to have a job where you get paid a minimum wage for half-eaten, because being lucky with social insurance and a house (rented, loaned, or cardboard that you buy with a credit you'll pay for your entire life), or have the privilege! to go to school, or not having any of this "do not donate money to these children."
Yet it two full days of streaming along which "journalists", actors and actresses, singers, politicians, businessmen, etc. crying her eyes out "shocked" with the issues that the mere style Women real life cases (specialty of the company), again show and exhibit a pitiful way for people with a disease or that at some point in their lives suffered an unexpected event.
All this to sell the idea that the money that is coupled be built hospitals and rehabilitation centers which will serve all those people (which actually should be built by the Government with the money we paid thousands and thousands of tax).
But ... if you are soooo good lords devised televised this messianic act why do these works (of the "friendly", not theater), without asking a weight people? Clearly, then it would not be business for them!
happens that, according to the second paragraph of Article 31 of Regulation of the Law on Income Tax says "also be considered charitable contributions to be granted to associations, institutions or organizations to allocate all the donations received and, where appropriate, their yields, for public works or services or be engaged in making the Federation, States, Federal District or Municipalities. "
This means that when making a donation to an institution that grants, nonprofit, a service to be granted by the State, the person who made the donation can tell hacienda not to charge taxes equivalent to the amount he gave, as it did a "good work".
Televisa The trick you use it:
Televisa , as any business must pay taxes, for example $ 1,000.00
But as your business is more profits and fewer losses, paying that $ 1,000.00 does not suit you, so create an institution "apart"
Telethon Foundation, which focuses on making hospitals and provide medical care (obligation of the State) .
Each year before the date it is paid to the Treasury, this foundation, transmitted (with sponsorship from his mother Televisa) two full days calling people to donate money to his " cause ", and sets a goal amount to be achieved, for example $ 1,500.00
People like you, your friends, neighbors and relatives, to act in good faith, fall into the trap of Televisa, make coperacha and donate $ 10.00 and so many people. Do not give receipt for Finance will deduct that $ 10.00 of what they pay in taxes, or giving it, they do not enforce it is a process long long and cumbersome for only $ 10.00, or, donate a weight on the boat (in which uncertain quantities are deposited why not give you proof, that is, hence no one says that all money collected will go to the "welfare institution" and not because you stick with the people in the metro Boet, but by adding it to all boats not say on TV the actual amount was collected).
At the end of the second day, is that the money donated hundreds of people like you, your family, neighbors, etc.. exceeding the target of $ 1,500.00 that had been set at the beginning, and it is coming together $ 1,900.00
That's when things not seen on TV translates into actual earnings for Televisa:
The $ 1,900.00 that came together (with contributions from many people), Televisa accumulates and instead of paying thousands of donations for every person Telethon Foundation , makes a single CONTRIBUTION TO YOUR NAME (TELEVISA), for her the Foundation will issue a tax deductible receipt (something like a discount coupon).
In this way, Televisa Treasury at the time charged, it shows the receipt of Telethon, so the longer SHyCP charges (for allegedly he paid to make the donation), but not only that, as the bill was for $ 1,900.00 and was only $ 1000.00 Televisa, the Treasury shall BACK AGAIN! Televisa to $ 900.00 in cash, same as Televisa NOT return to the people who actually donated the money Do you see your business?, that is the true purpose of Telethon be a way for Televisa evade taxes, and people pay alienating the trash daily television
In fact, the real problem is that thousands of people work with 20, 50 or 100 pesos, which are also tax deductible although people who donate these amounts, or delivery to the piggy in the street, do not give receipt for your tax deducted personal. But not only that. The amounts contributed by large corporations "on behalf of their employees," which collect among themselves for a cause "altruistic", they get a tax deductible receipt, but in the name of the company, not every employee, with it can also deduct the amount of taxes to be paid.
In this way, all which is donated to Telethon is money the government fails to receive for taxes and that should be devoted to works and services the people more to enrich the already wealthy owners of Televisa and entrepreneurs that make the choir and get free publicity and recognition for their "altruism", which pay their employees.
This is one reason for not reaching the budget for education or health, to name a few, same reason why there are few Mexicans who earn more than a million Mexican pesos per day and barely survive less than a dollar a day or whether we go with a minimum wage not enough to nothing, yet they pay taxes (which we discount at automatic or indirectly).
