It's certainly entertaining how these tax evasion schemes force companies to make interesting claims about their work force. :-)
I wonder if there is any scientific work regarding the design of taxation laws which would prevent or at least decrease the exploitability of loopholes. Maybe the idea of taxing profits is just outdated in a world where IP and brandmark licensing schemes allows companies to create almost arbitrary profit/loss numbers. (But what would be the alternative? And how would the transition from system A to system B work?) The companies mentioned in the article aren't the only ones cheating, but it is certainly interesting that the same companies which are lobbying for a renewed tax "break" in exchange for moving their money back into the US are claiming that no value is generated overseas. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java Posse" group.
