“The fact that he points to his tenant to get himself out of trouble is already a tragedy on its own. But does the banker really want us to believe that he thought someone else would pay his income taxes?
Khazaradze, who has now been caught in tax fraud, is once again trying to wiggle out of it by deceitfully juggling terminology, talking about some so-called ‘source-based taxation confusion.’
To be clear, the ‘issue of taxation at the source’ means just one thing — who was supposed to pay Khazaradze’s income tax: Khazaradze himself or Ambassador Fischer? In other words, with this post, Khazaradze is pointing at Ambassador Fischer and saying that for three years, he believed the ambassador was supposed to pay his income tax.
Pointing to his tenant to escape responsibility is bad enough. But the banker wants us to believe he genuinely thought someone else would cover his taxes?” Papuashvili writes.
