- FridgeSeal 9y agoLiterally whenever they pull the "here's a shell company we made (and own) and we totally owe them all this money for developing this product. Oh no we didn't make a profit, guess we don't have to pay any tax." Let's all just ignore the fact that the entire strategy is them saying they owe themselves all this money and for some reason we all just go along with this. They're obviously not the only company that does this, most, if not all multinationals are guilty of this and people like to brush it off as "oh but it's not illegal", as if somehow the fact that they've managed to get a legal method of tax avoidance somehow makes it all better. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/mar/23/apple-paid-no-tax-in-new-zealand-for-at-least-a-decade-reports-say https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/mar/23/apple-paid-no-... https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/dec/07/australian-tax-office-says-36-of-big-firms-and-multinationals-paid-no-tax https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/dec/07/austr... https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/oct/25/eu-to-probe-uks-anti-tax-avoidance-schemes-for-multinationals https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/oct/25/eu-to-probe...
