Google accused of UK tax dodge

Outrageous

Its got nothing to do with Socialism... Even with unbloated government spending a 12.5% tax rate wouldnt add up, its clearly just an outrageously blatent attempt at tax arbitrage by the Irish....

No wonder they were the celtic tiger for the last decade- looks like its been exposed as even more of a sham that at first glance.

It seems the only winners from the EU are the corporates, gravy train politicians and small principlaties leaching money off the big countries via tax arbitrage...

Shame

These revenue generating schemes are *not* competitions they are raffles. One day someone will force them to be called what they really are. If the lottery is a tax on the stupid then these TV raffles are a tax on the retarded. Those who got multiple txts are getting their just deserts. I'm just peed off at having to hear them plug the stupid things every 15 mins- makes for very tedious viewing.
