In this case, Facebook did pay the full whack of tax. The article implies they avoided paying corporation tax by paying out large bonuses, causing them to have been operating at a loss (on paper). If that is the case, then I don&#x27;t think that&#x27;s such a bad thing. All of their employees will still pay tax on their bonuses, so it&#x27;s not like the tax payer is being completely robbed. At least their workers are getting a cut of the profit, rather than having it all go to Facebook&#x27;s coffers and the government (in the form of corporation tax).
