However, I find the fact that these practices are not enforced even more disgusting (AKA how the government lets these slimebags get away with it especially KNOWING that this affects the capitalist environment from an economy standpoint) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killamch89 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 This isn't much of a surprise at all - Big companies always find ways to avoid paying taxes such as offshore accounts as in this instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you even be surprised if EA did the same thing or other companies taht we deem good such as CD Projekt RED? I mean, the latter has been found guilty of overworking employees too.

Reality vs Adventure Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Amazon as we know is way bigger, and who is trying to get into the gaming environment pays zero taxes. Withywarlock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is surprised at their business practices - most companies have done very shady things but they have the funds and media influence to cover it up or spin the narrative.

skyfire Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Most of the cryptocurrencies, game dev companies, non profits are often used as tax evasion .. and this has been mafia point of swaps for years. So not surprised at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Companies also use offshore divisions of their company to evade taxes because the tax laws in a particular country may be very "loose" or non-existent so they'll sue this method to avoid paying taxes.

Empire Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Meanwhile, Republican politicians tell us we can't afford things like healthcare. Or education. Or high-speed rail. Or green energy initiatives. Or literally anything that isn't the military. All while championing these corporations and the broken system that allows them to avoid paying their fair share. IF ONLY there were some way to afford those 'radical' social programs that nearly every other developed nation already has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a worldwide tax policy - each country has their own system so companies simply exploit that lack of communication. What you're talking about is politicians not addressing the needs of their citizens which is a different discussion in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this is one reason they like to hire the remote workers where they can evade taxes and also save the money in the due process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also don't have to provide those workers with the same benefits as those that live within their own countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
