  Actually, it looks like you, too, may be incorrect, in that they're working to crack down on just that: http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/ba95cff0-4fcd-11e4-a0a4-00144feab7de.html http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/ba95cff0-4fcd-11e4-a0a4-00144... Also, in the United States, Amazon has generally not fared well when it came to avoiding collecting local taxes when local authorities decided to put their feet down: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_tax http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_tax

    As an eu citizen I knew that, and I can tell you they are "working on it" since decades of years (almost since Apple for the first time implemented it around the '80s), Nothing changed because Ireland doesn't want to change its taxation because the corps on its field lobby under the threat to move to another country, and the EU commission has not the power to impose the change to Ireland.

  If Google 'should' pay taxes and have not, why haven't they been taken to court? That's tax evasion. Tax avoidance is what sensible people do. You look at the rules, follow them and minimize your tax bill. Google's shareholders also expect no less. No one can stop them (Google)? Of course they can. It's up to countries to change their tax laws if they think they are not fit for the job.
