Global companies seem to be keen to avoid paying taxes - http://www.buzzfeed.com/peterlauria/...avoid-us-taxes
The whole issue of taxing companies which operate in different countries seems very complex. I can't see why a "home" country should feel it is entitled to tax companies for operations in other parts of the world ***, but on the other hand, there seem to be many companies which are organising their businesses to minimise paying taxes anywhere.
*** Indeed, the article makes clear that the US does not tax revenue earned outside the US - only if it is repatriated.
