Samsung family donating mass art trove to smooth $10.8 billion inheritance tax bill

The Lee family, including his wife and three children, expects to pay more than 12 trillion won in taxes related to inheritance, Samsung said Wednesday. This would be the largest-ever amount in South Korea and more than three times the country's total estate tax revenue for last year. The family plans to divide the payment in six installments over five years, while making the first payment this month.

Giving away the late chairman's vast collection of masterpieces could help smoothen the payment as his family wouldn't need to pay taxes on donated artworks. The Lee family will also donate 1 trillion won to help fund infectious disease research and treatment for children with cancer and rare illnesses.

'An insult to all victims of gun violence': Rewrite gun bill, victims' families urge LiberalsTabled in February, the bill proposes a buyback of many recently banned firearms the government considers assault\u002Dstyle weapons “will not rid Canada of the scourge of deadly shootings.” Imagine being so dumb that you think deadly shootings happen because legal gun owners exist. Really the problem with the bill isnt that it offers gun control, it doesnt offer enough. Some of the whataboutist arguments here would be served by different bills and conflating them is worse administration than they are complaining about. Criminals will get guns no matter how many times you rewrite the gun bill .
