Right, except it's the fault of countries like UK and Ireland (among others) for creating the conditions for legal massive tax avoidance. And the EU for not smacking that down as a priority immediately. When I relocated to the UK one of the first things the banks did for me was create an offshore account (Isle of Man, I think it was). I thought to myself, this is strange, who do you think I am, Pablo Escobar ? This was Barclays.

And all my Amazon packages to London had Luxembourg return addresses.

Sorry, Europeans, you can blame big American tech companies for dodging taxes all you want, but it's hypocritical when you legally allowed the conditions for them to do so.
