Tax-avoidance deal saves millions

A tax-avoidance deal may save companies hundreds of millions of dollars

If your tax return is based primarily on the W2 form you get for wages, tips and salary from your employer, there’s not much wiggle room. You can take the deductions you’re entitled to, but chances for savings are slim.
