It's really easy to take for granted since most of us have never known any different. (lemmy.world)

How is that a misrepresentation? You justified what I said.

The implication was that they make donations for the write-offs. That's not accurate, because it's never cheaper to make a donation and write it off than it is to just pay the taxes.

Not quite never. You just need the tax rate plus marginal change in lost benefits/increased obligations to exceed 100%. For example there's a breakpoint in the UK around childcare over 100k income that makes it way worth salary sacrificing to get below if you have kids. I can imagine there are similar niche things for small businesses around audit requirements or whatever, but not enough of an expert to know.
