go to citi bank, their stock brokerage arm and they will direct you, you cannot buy directly with US based stock brokers online since you need a social security number for IRS purposes to track your gains.
citi bank is an international stock broker they will guide you but there is a minimum amount when going about this way, I think its $500 I am not sure

So IRS taxes FB profits and then again taxes the dividends of shareholders? sounds like double taxation
Fiverr.
call the Jew mark zukenberg
I will most definitely give this a shot. Thank you.
Isn’t that what happens locally? Corporate tax plus WHT on dividends…
Sijui, sina shares…peasant manenos
Hehehe…worry not. Mambo polepole, but yes, that’s what happens hata huku. What should worry you however is if there exists reciprocal tax agreements between Kenya and the U.S such that income earned there isn’t taxed there and taxed here too (the real double taxation).

FB profits are incomes to the company
Dividends are income for the shareholder
two completely different entities
But company = shareholders, assume FB is not listed but a man biz. do you pay tax twice?
remember a company still pays corporate tax on its profits while at the same time the employees are taxed for any income they get while working at the company
not entirely true, a shareholder is just but one of the groups of the main stakeholders of the company
You are mixing issues by mentioning employees which are operational cost to a company or biz.
My issue was a company = owner or shareholders. you do not tax the co. profit and then the owner…i.e If FB belong to zuckerberg alone, he won’t pay tax as a company then again as owner
remember fb is a limited company the owner and the company are separate and their finances are dealt with separately
Get me right, I’m saying assuming FB is sole proprietorship. Meaning company = owner, si you just pay the corporate tax and keep the rest of the loot
