Avoidance or evasion?
If a company is compliant then it is up to government to intervene and change laws. However law change should apply to all entities, on or off line.
- jessriedel 15y agoActually, "Tax evasion" generally denotes something illegal. "Avoidance" is the correct term here.
- gaius 15y agoIndeed. But Eric Schmidt doesn't get to whine about e.g. education in the UK, without ponying up the cash.
- jessriedel 15y agoThere's a pretty important distinction between a government-provided service and the government's infringement of a (negative) right, especially when it comes to who gets to complain based on the amount of taxes they pay. The government doesn't pay money to not censor the internet.
