Do you know what's no longer cool? Tax avoidance. If you need to use a technique called the "Double Irish, Dutch sandwich", and it involves funneling $23 billion through fucking Bermuda, yeah, you know you're doing something shady as shit. https://t.co/T91iTh0ISO

They....they have to. The irish government passed legislation stopping this practice, with existing companies having to end the practice by *checks notes* January 2020. This is not a voluntary decision. https://t.co/165HQbFwz8

I was being overly charitable. Thinking Google did see it as smart to stop this practice on their own accord. Nope. Apparently this practice is only ending because the loophole was closed. So they milked every billion right until the end.

This is a misleading title. A more correct title would be:

"Google forced by legislative changes to stop using tax sheltering loophole"

"to end" is a weasel word that suggests that maybe, just maybe, a corporation willingly acted in the public interest.https://t.co/sPjsqKy0Uw

Google will no longer use the so-called “Double Irish” and “Dutch sandwich” loopholes, which allowed it (and countless other corporations) to shift money from Ireland to the Netherlands and Bermuda, sheltering billions from taxes in the process. https://t.co/MxUMMoHLbj via @Verge

In the UK grocery and department stores pay more corporate tax than Amazon, Facebook, and Google - but Google plans to stop exploiting Dutch/Irish tax loopholes this year.https://t.co/2z5wgA43xT pic.twitter.com/IeiBkRsEOX
