What you're saying is not entirely false, but it is naive at best. Ireland, the Netherlands & co are fully aware of these tax loopholes, even if we give them the benefit of the doubt that they were not originally intentional. They like the arrangement because it gives them a tiny - compared tot he dodged taxes - tax benefit for basically free. |

Well, if I remember correctly, the Dutch government enabled avoiding something to the tune of 30-40 billion euros last year. The benefits for the Dutch treasury were something like 24 million. Yes, you read that right - even though I probably got the exact numbers wrong, this is the order of magnitude we're talking about.
