Western Union 運作

請問用western union 作私人匯錢比於美國既家人係唔係美國政府及銀行都查唔倒?

Western Union is a Financial Institution. Every dollar, cents, dimes you send under Western Union Banner will and can be checked by US revenue Department

Western Union use account payable and account receivble to convert money received oversea and pay it to your destination, it's just like how a normal supermarket work or how newsagency sell you lottory ticket.

A person whises to send money to another party oversea via Western Union will first need to find an Western Union Outlet, pay the money to the outlet and the money is then pay to account payable (Cos Western Union owe you money) to their ledger and inform the other parties to collect the money Western Union owe you in his/her nearest Western Union Outlet. And the money is pay though Account Receivable (As WU pays off the debt to you and thue balanced the book)

Since this operation involve Account Payable and Account Receivable, it is liable to tax the item as income/payment, rather as gift, so, for every dollar you send thru WU, they need to report the same amount to IRS otherwise they will be said to evade taxes.

Now, will a big company risk tax evading charge for you so you can send a couple of thousand bucks oversea and evade taxes? This answer is as good as anybody guess.

You wish.

Western Union or similar businesses are obligated to report any suspicious activities.

Also, lying on an welfare application is a criminal offense.
