Did you know some of the world's biggest companies are legally dodging taxes by reincorporating overseas? This is #CorporateInversion - where firms like Pfizer and Medtronic move HQs to low-tax nations (Ireland, UK) while keeping US operations. The result?

Paul Krugman debunks myths about Trump-era tariffs, revealing they didn’t trigger runaway inflation or recession as feared. Instead, tariffs raised consumer prices modestly due to corporate markups, loopholes, and tax avoidance. He coins “leprechaun economics” to explain data distortions and warns that hidden costs may rise as firms adjust.

And the fact that this #TaxAvoidance #tactic is still legal where they literally burn their OWN CONTENT to avoid paying #Restitutions and #writeoff #losses and thus steal #Taxes owed is the biggest problem.

• It's the digital equivalent of comitting #arson to a #warehouse just to avoid paying #tax on merch...

And #ContentImpairment needs to be punished like arson and #AccountingFraud!

Good to see the national papers offering advice on how people rich enough to just up sticks and leave the country can continue to avoid tax even after they so patriotically jump ship. (MASSIVE dose or sarcasm, just for the avoidance of any doubt…)

"For example, I think Google [NZ] pays out about 95-97% of all the revenue that it earns [in "service fees" to the parent company] ... and FaceBook would be very similar, Uber would be. The percentages vary, but it's most of it, in all cases."

🗳️ Voters in Ashton-under-Lyne respond to Rayner Tax Avoidance❗️ 🤣😂😆

Personally, if the only issue was Angela Rayner being given the wrong advice then paying the tax when discovered I would not have an issue with it.

It is because she was getting advice on how to use a legal loophole to avoid tax, while talking about trying to close the legal loopholes that bothers me. I'd feel the same had she successfully used it.
