0.005% is what they paid in 2014 according to the EU Commission, giving them an unfair competitive advantage towards other companies who cannot afford to set up complex schemes to avoid paying taxes like them. A EU country can decide their own tax rate, but not favor a particular company over all the others.

Hence the power of giving cookies, serving beers and inviting your neighbours to a meal/barbecues when you arrive in a new place. It's a lot harder to call the police when they see your children and share your food.

I am trying to learn about the business habits in the Valley. I wish someone could inform me.

To answer your question, obviously I am not from the valley, i run my own business, it is quite profitable, i don't do retreats, and i fly quite a bit, always coach. So if i ever organised a retreat, i would expect everyone to fly coach. Hence my question.
