Tax evasion IS illegal, tax avoidance is not. That's a legal point that's worth keeping in mind.


Darn, I mixed them up. Fixed it.

Local news in the Netherlands is that our tax office gave Proctor and Gamble a few hundred million dollar tax windfall, by error. I don't look angrily upon P&G. They asked for a deal and got a super sweet one. It's the tax offices that mess this stuff up. One European tax office that coordinates these taxes and ruling could solve a lot. Then the mess would be, which country gains the taxes / profits and all hell in European government rightly ensues..


You also mis-spelled political.
