When the stock of
Facebook employees gains liquidity with the company's IPO, Uncle Sam will be demanding $5 billion in taxes.
But luckily for those workers, Facebook will pick up the tab, according to
a report in the Financial Times. Facebook isn't being completely unselfish; under U.S. tax rules, the company will be able to offset the tax bill against its profits and get
a $500 million tax refund in 2013.
