Sure, but if they have legit expenses that mean they don’t make profit (in the article it says they’re reinvesting all profits back into the business) then they shouldn’t pay tax. We tax on profits, not on revenue. If they’re cooking the books to make it look like they have no profits, then accuse them off that and provide some evidence.
