巴菲特為漢堡王并購Tim Hortons提供30億美元融資

    食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  據(jù)外媒報(bào)道，近日漢堡王并購加拿大餐飲企業(yè)蒂姆霍頓（Tim Hortons）的消息成為熱門話題，億萬富翁巴菲特（Warren Buffett）為并購案提供30億美元融資。

    盡管漢堡王和其控股公司--3G資本公司都強(qiáng)調(diào)，并購是為了雙方更好的業(yè)務(wù)增長，而非出于稅務(wù)方面的考慮。然而，向來被外界視為美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬“盟友”的巴菲特卻因?yàn)橹С钟斜芏愊右傻?ldquo;稅負(fù)倒置”交易而遭到熱議。

    部分原文報(bào)道如下：

    Obama and Warren Buffett may have turned sour with Buffett's investment in Burger King's inversion. President Obama's favorite billionaire has thrown him under the Burger King bus.

    Warren Buffett stuck one of his big Midas thumbs in Obama's eye Tuesday by agreeing to pony-up $3 billion so the hamburger chain can buy a Canadian doughnut outfit - and avoid paying millions in U.S. corporate taxes by moving part of its headquarters to Ontario.

    Buffett made the move just a month after Obama denounced “inversion” tactics like this as an “unpatriotic tax loophole” and ordered regulatory changes to curb them.
