they do have some employees - the directors > Microsoft Round Island One, the registered address of which is at an office of the law firm Matheson in Dublin, states in its accounts that it has “no employees other than the directors”. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jun/03/microsoft-irish-subsidiary-paid-zero-corporate-tax-on-220bn-profit-last-year https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jun/03/microsoft-iris... What the Guardian is not saying (but I am not surprised, since it's a rag) is that MS has a huge presence in Ireland, in a different company, probably. Ireland has been MS base in Europe for decades, they have 2000 employees there, and it's where Azure had it's first European data center. I know because I applied to them back in the day, and my company had a one day outage in 2011 because of a lighting strike to the data center... MS should pay a minimum of 5-10% of those money in taxes, where they are produced, for sure. But let's get our facts straight, so we have a better voice when we say this.
