Because companies can't deduct the dividend payment on their taxes. If $100 is paid in dividends then both the individual and the company pay income taxes on that same $100.
If I use $100 to pay for groceries, I had to pay income tax, sales tax, then the company has to pay any profits on it, and then when the employee gets paid they have to pay income tax on their part.
Perhaps the issue is we tax money way too much as it flows through our economy.
This looks great, will definitely try it out next time I travel. Looks like there is no fast tracking immigration/customs for US airports though? Any plans to add this in the future?
That's great to hear! We'd love to help. Please use promo code "hnfriends" for 10% off of your booking :)
As for fast track immigrations/customs in the US, we're only able to help in some cases at JFK and MIA. Basically no company has access to meet travelers at their gate in the US. We're working to make this happen though, and there are pilot programs at a few airports coming later this year!
