> taking an X amount of jobs with them
All three? These shell companies are often just a post address, sometimes an empty office with a plant (and someone to water the plant every week). The excuse is always that if we won't do it, someone else will and that we need international legislation. While that is true, someone needs to kick it off.
And I don't want the crumbs, they can stick those crumbs where the sun don't shine.
- candiodari 5y agoActually Ireland demands that some percentage of workforce plus some percentage of revenue is in Ireland. So no these are sometimes very large offices, and a bunch of actual business is also routed through these offices. Unless you mean in the Netherlands, yes, there you can have a post office/lawyer office, something along those lines.

It was also super laissez-fair on arm's length principles for valuing services provided between connected entities.
