Uber used 50 Dutch shell companies to dodge taxes
I'm getting more and more frustrated by my own country's willingness to facilitate this. It just doesn't make any sense. From what I can tell it's all based on old-fashioned debunked economic theories in the same vain as "trickle-down-economy".<p>There's a growing resistance to the Netherlands as a "Doorsluisland", and our current administration's political turmoil will hopefully provide the momentum for actual change - so hopefully things will change.<p>Here's a nice (Dutch) article on it. The big take-away with other tax "havens" is that the money doesn't reside / stay in the Netherlands, it's just passed through it. Like Uber did.<p><a href="https://www.groene.nl/artikel/doorsluisland" rel="nofollow">https://www.groene.nl/artikel/doorsluisland</a>
