I didn't think tax avoidance was illegal, as opposed to tax evasion....

If it is legal in the country then no its not illegal for the company to use the deals to make such arrangements, however within the EU it is illegal for governments to make such laws. There are 3 parties involved and 2 transactions Company-> Luxembourg = legal, Luxembourg -> EU = illegal.

Shocked, Shocked I tell you

https://www.theguardian.com/business...ce-cables-show

The president of the European commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, spent years in his previous role as Luxembourg’s prime minister secretly blocking EU efforts to tackle tax avoidance by multinational corporations, leaked documents reveal.

Years’ worth of confidential German diplomatic cables provide a candid account of Luxembourg’s obstructive manoeuvres inside one of Brussels’ most secretive committees.

Quelle surprise.
