In the US, in terms of paying tax, Google is a good citizen. Their overseas subsidiaries, which are based in Dublin, pay virtually no tax. Google claims they have broken no laws, and this is most likely correct. Ikea run a similar tangled web of companies and don’t pay any tax. Since both are run by geniuses, it makes sense.
So, while Google escapes paying $4.63 billion in tax, that directly affects the people of Europe at roughly five dollars per person. Is that enough to make you pissed off? Probably not. In exchange for a glass of beer, you get all the wonderful things Google supply us with.
The answer of course is for governments to change the rules. Tax advantages like that create an unfair playing field that ultimately make the rich richer.
