Paradise Papers: Dear Tim Cook
What annoys me the most is that, as a small company, I can&#x27;t evade from my country tax system. I pay the taxes. All of them, at full rate.<p>But there are these big companies which can afford to create offshore companies&#x2F;holding just to evade some tax system, and lower their tax rate.<p>So, what? The tax rate of a country is now &quot;artificial&quot;, because it will never be applied to all revenues from all companies, because the higher profiles will be able to evade a part of it.<p>If governments want to reclaim more, they could raise up the tax rate, considering that the biggest players will only pay a fragment of it. But the small companies, the one that can only follow the rules? They are screwed.<p>All companies should be considered equals regarding the tax system. It is simply not the case when such schemes are used.<p>Edit: exactly the same point of view as jitbit: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=15651457" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=15651457</a>
