Yeah it would be nice to enforce it for all companies and make it absolutely illegal to do those kind of tax optimisation.
Kek
Either pay the taxes or leave the country.
Oh, does being in the country make you money? Pay the fucking taxes.

They pay their taxes, the charges they are brought up are fucking retarded.
They are literally saying "no, you shouldn't find ways to deduct and minimize your work tax!".
>Several have been accused of using legal methods to minimise their tax bills.
I've always liked the French for their hotblooded attitude toward politics, but I didn't expect that to extend to law enforcement.
Sadly this is most likely a publicity stunt that will yield no results.

I believe this tax evasion bullshit should stop, but yeah it's a stunt. Our state is mad AF that Google and US companies are cucking everything. We had a problem with google news killing muh independent journalism, then amazon killing libraries with their cheap as fuck ebooks, then muh uber... whatever lad.
> Muh protectionism is bad and backwards thinking!
Then we have those cases. Not saying the US are any better on that point.
Europe continues to be butthurt that the US dominates the tech industry.
I don't know about France, but Google doesn't pay much of anything in taxes in the US.
Look up "Double Irish".

The US still benefits from having Google there even if they never played any taxes. France is just being cucked without getting anything out of it.
