If the player is able to rewrite the rules of the game (or prevent such rewriting) in order to benefit themselves, they gain culpability. Yes, we should focus on fighting them, but that was never in question.
- mc32 11y agoI'm not opposed to countries capturing whatever they feel is just to tax corporations, however, crying foul when they allow this by their own laws is their problem. Pass the laws, make everyone abide by them and we'd be good. I simply don't agree when they allow a loophole and them complain about companies using the loophole. Same with corporate inversions. If we don't think it should happen then get some tax treaties in place and enforce it.
- mike_hearn 11y agoExcept Google, Apple etc did not write these tax laws. Actually, the EU and Ireland did. The companies came later to take advantage of them ... in Ireland's case, it was done quite knowingly for that exact reason. They prefer having the companies and employment than having the corporation tax.
