In the article, it's mentioned that they took €100m in state aid — even more egregious than the mere €65m they took from the Netherlands alone. And that, while Booking.com gets discounted tax rates and strong-arms the Dutch government to pay even less through an "innovation box" [0]. Not good at all. > In 2018 alone, the company received a tax discount of $435 million in the Netherlands, or about €385 million.
