- jessaustin 12y agoThey're not quite on a level with the Catholic Church, but give them a few centuries...
- CamperBob2 12y agoOf course, Ikea could school them both when it comes to tax dodges.

- Argorak 12y agoI am constantly amazed on how well IKEA stays out of the spotlight as a corporate entity. We complain about Apple and Google, while IKEA is playing at least in the same league.
- tinco 12y agoBut IKEA is not originally a US company, if anything it's avoiding Swedish taxes.
- Argorak 12y agoAnd that matters how? I'm not from the US, so I'm more concerned about Google and Apple avoiding local taxes here as well. Also, I'm sure IKEA avoids local taxes as good as possible as well.
- tinco 12y agoIt explains why US media are not covering it as much.
- Argorak 12y agoI didn't speak about US media. Also, is US media your only source? It's the same over here, IKEA flies under the radar very well.
- tinco 12y agoWell I'm in The NL and it's been in the news here because their holding is registered here for tax reasons. I think they're one of nl's biggest tax payers.
- Argorak 12y agoYes, but has it been in the news as much as Apple or Google? It's not like it's not a topic over here, but usually in the business part of the newspaper, somewhere down the page. It's not a secret, but rarely an issue people complain about. Which IKEA is probably quite okay with.
