Editorial Book Review:

By Pily Rivero

Don't Just Pay Taxes is a new, bold guide that makes business owners think differently about one of the most unavoidable parts of running a business. Divakar Vijayasarathy changes how people think about taxes from a burden to a way to get ahead in business. He sees what most people see as a duty as an opportunity to learn and come up with new ideas. The book grabs your attention right away by saying it will make systems that are hard to understand easy to use.

Divakar's clear, supportive, and encouraging tone simplifies even the most complex international tax strategies. He empowers you in every chapter by showing that effective tax planning involves understanding, being innovative, and aligning taxes with your company's goals. The book stimulates your analytical and entrepreneurial mind to make you rethink business management and generate new ideas.

At its core, the book explores themes of strategic thinking, conscious entrepreneurship, and the transformative power of knowledge. Divakar says that knowing how tax systems work can help you find hidden value. He also says that these lessons apply to more than just taxes; they can help you plan, see the big picture, and use systems to your advantage at work.

Divakar's writing is clear and easy to understand. It includes real-world examples, historical context, and useful tips. The book is set up so that readers can easily move from theory to practice, with each chapter building on the one before it. Some readers may prefer more step-by-step examples for small businesses, but this does not detract from the guidance's clarity or overall usefulness.

Some of the best parts are the ideas for how to align business decisions with tax breaks, smart examples of Fortune 500 strategies, and questions that make you think that go against what most people believe. Don't Just Pay Taxes is a big deal because it turns anger or fear into knowledge and opportunity. If you own a business and want to see taxes as an opportunity instead of a problem, you need to read this book.

About the Author 

Divakar Vijayasarathy

Divakar Vijayasarathy is a global tax strategist, entrepreneur, and author on a mission to redefine how the world understands taxation. With nearly two decades of experience advising entrepreneurs, family offices, and multinational enterprises across more than 40 countries, he believes tax is not a cost to be minimized—but one of the most powerful levers of prosperity ever created.

As the Founder of DVS Advisory Group, Divakar has spent his career working at the intersection of government policy, enterprise ambition, and long-term value creation. His core belief is simple yet unconventional: when taxation is aligned with public priorities, it becomes a catalyst for growth, innovation, and societal progress rather than a constraint on enterprise.

This philosophy evolved into his widely recognized Tax as Profit™ framework, which reframes taxation as a behavioral and economic tool capable of aligning private incentives with national and global objectives. Through tax alignment, Divakar seeks to help entrepreneurs grow responsibly while enabling governments to achieve development, inclusion, and sustainability goals—restoring trust in the social contract between the state and enterprise.

Trained as a Chartered Accountant and deeply influenced by history, political economy, and philosophy, Divakar brings first-principles thinking to complex global systems. An educator at heart, he has taught and mentored thousands of professionals, distilling complexity into clear, actionable frameworks that transcend jurisdictions and business cycles.

Through his writing and work, Divakar’s mission is clear: to transform tax from a source of friction into a shared language of progress—one that harmonizes enterprise success with societal prosperity.
