Let's talk about Total (french oil company) which didn't pay ANY taxes in France until recently. BTW, it was the most prosperous company in France at that time.

Let's talk about Total (french oil company) which didn't pay ANY taxes in France until recently. BTW, it was the most prosperous company in France at that time. Only when the media investigated did they start to pay some corporate taxes. There was way less hatred against Total than against any american companies as we see today. Do you know that France distributes so many subsidies to french companies (110B€), that's way more than the total corporate taxes it collects (36B€). And Total is still the clear winner in the tax cut race in France ;-)
