Strange that....

Bit of cheery picking...

The commission explained, however, that the list of 30 “non-cooperative jurisdictions” was designed only to assess non-EU members. As a result, the new register does not include countries such as the Netherlands, Ireland, or Luxembourg — all of which are under investigation by the European competition authorities, suspected of offering “sweetheart” tax deals to multinationals.

This is not and EU issue. The UK is one of the largest culprits in offshoring tax havens.
Think of the CIs, IOM, Virgin Islands, Gibraltar etc. It will get worse after the UK leaves the EU.

A blacklist of the world’s 30 worst-offending tax havens, published on Wednesday by the European commission, includes the tiny Polynesian island of Niue, where 1,400 people live in semi-subsistence — but does not include Luxembourg, the EU’s wealthy tax avoidance hub.

This is how globalisation works.

Transnational business entities get unbridled market domination and pay almost no local tax while small domestic businesses get fried.

Remember folks, it's racist to oppose globalisation you little-Englander gammons.

C*NTS mate, it's okay though because they made their customers pay VAT so that clearly makes up for it!!! W$nkers
To rub the salt in the wound - they got a £174,000 rebate from the taxman!!

it seems as though its ok for yet another big corp to reduce their tax bill to less than zero, but not for the little man on the street!
