If a government says do X and I will cut your takes by Y then is doing X immoral?
It depends on what X is. If X is "install solar panels" or "provide affordable housing" or "reduce greenhouse gas emissions" then X is very likely moral. If X is "lie to us about where your revenue came from" then X is very much immoral.

> Wasn't Uber or some other US company found doing something similar? Airbnb, they had to pay like 70k of tax a few years ago. There are employees who pay as much tax as single filers lol They paid 18% less tax in 2016 than in 2013 while the number of flats available on the site went from 30k to 300k https://www.lesechos.fr/2016/08/airbnb-na-paye-que-69168-eur...

Completely meaningless without also saying what their costs and investments were.

Given Wirecard I wouldn’t assume the EU equally prosecutes or tracks crimes for EU and non-EU companies.

Immediately rebranded it to Orange (despite the fact that the company had one of the strongest brands on market where it operated). Unsurprisingly the licensing fees for using Orange brand that the Polish company had to pay to France Telecom amounted to large percentage of taxable profits that the Polish company had. Overt t…
No but seriously, this doesn't sound surprising? Why should France be against a French company buying up other companies and bringing revenue back to France

Revenue tax? We had that before the fall of the wall - not again please. The VAT system works well and should be used more.
