France: a tax haven ... for multinationals!

Michel Santi is the author of "Splendeurs et miseries du libéralisme", a work in which he questions the reasons for the crisis shaking Europe. He returns here to France's policy towards multinationals, which, thanks to sophisticated legal arrangements, manage not to pay, or very little, tax. This makes France a tax haven for these large groups, placing France in third place in the world for capital imports.

Threats of nationalization, specter of a tax rate of 75% on the wealthy, high wage costs, rigid labor code ... Nothing helps!

Anyway, as soon as you have a sufficient "plate", you can afford anything. For example, passing certain parts or services through a subsidiary ... (Syldavian, San-Theodorian, etc.) where the profit is received. This company can also be the main shareholder.

Even for 1 or 2 million euros, it is doable.

The only "tax" that we can get out of an MN is that which its workers pay.
