She doesn't pay any taxes in the EU.
- whb07 9y agoUh yeah she does if she owns any Google or FB stock via 401k, or directly owning shares in the company she's getting taxed by EU as she owns the company. That's why it's called a public company and they are openly traded in the market. When Google gets taxed, grandma in Idaho gets taxed. Corporations don't have money, the people who own the corporation do. Any money coming in would either be invested back to further the company or passed back to the owners of the company. In this case, it's our grandma from Idaho. I'd love to hear any sound logic argument negating anything I just said.
