Donald Trump has refused to publish his tax return since 2015.

According to a New York Times report, the US president only paid $ 750 a year in income tax.

  • In the past, allegations have been made that US President Donald Trump * paid too little taxes for years.

  • The US President * has refused to publish his tax return since he took office.

  • A new report in the New York Times now further increases the pressure on the 74-year-old.

Washington DC - Tomorrow, Tuesday, the

United States

is probably the high point of the

campaign

for the

US presidential election

*

held in November: The

TV debate

between incumbent

US president Donald Trump

and his challenger Democrat and former Vice-President

Joe Biden

.

So shortly before this extremely important date, the New York Times is now making serious allegations against

Donald Trump

in a report

.

Donald Trump under pressure: US President is said to have only paid $ 750 in income tax

The newspaper apparently has

tax records of

the

US President

for the past two decades.

The documents extend to 2017, including

Donald Trump's

first term

as President - in 2016 he prevailed against Hillary Clinton in the elections.

And these documents have it all.

Donald Trump

is said to have

paid

just $ 750 in

income taxes in

2016 and 2017

.

By comparison, an elementary school teacher pays an

average of $ 7,239 a year

in the

US

.

In addition, the records indicate that the

US president

has paid no federal taxes in ten of the last 15 years.

According to

Donald Trump

, because he made more losses than profits.

Several of the 74-year-old's properties were also in trouble, so that debt repayments of several hundred million US dollars could soon be due.

US President defends himself against serious allegations - tax allegations are "fake news"

Donald Trump

ruled on the allegations in the usual way.

“FAKE NEWS,” wrote the

US President

in capital letters on his Twitter account.

“I've paid a lot and I've paid a lot of taxes to New York State,” the 74-year-old said.

Trump's lawyer also said that the many "facts" in the Times report were not accurate.

FAKE NEWS!

Donald Trump's tax filing released - $ 70,000 in hairdressing expenses

Although

Donald Trump brought

in

more than 400 million US dollars on his TV show “The Apprentice” * over the years

before his

presidency

, the

US president

is said to have made

heavy losses with his hotels and golf resorts.

A particularly delicate detail, however, are various

tax write-offs

that

Trump

is said to have made in recent years.

The New York Times report shows that

Trump

taxed over $ 70,000 in hairdressing bills while working for The Apprentice.

Several of Trump's companies also sold more than 90,000 US dollars for hair and make-up stylists for his daughter

Ivanka

.

However, Donald Trump

announced that he would

publish

his

tax data

as soon as the IRS audit, which has been going on for years, is completed.

Already in the

election campaign

for the last presidential election in 2016, the then opponent of the Democrats,

Hillary Clinton

, accused

Trump of paying too little taxes and also being highly indebted *.

Now, this year too,

Trump's

taxes could become a big topic shortly before the November election.

Serious allegations shortly before the TV duel: A trump card for Trump's opponent Joe Biden?

Trump's rival

candidate Joe Biden

*

shared a video on Twitter on Sunday in which the average income tax payments of various professions are compared with those of the

US president

.

It is very likely that

Biden will make

Trump's

tax records

a major target in Tuesday's

TV debate

.

In Germany, too, the #TrumpTaxReturns appeared on Monday morning in the trends of the most used hashtags on Twitter.
