Highly unethical? Well it's legal so why wouldn't they do it? We should fault the tax laws, not those that take advantage of them. I would take advantage too!
Yeah, but also this is very symptomatic of large businesses in the UK. Loads of huge chains on the UK high street do that same. They get away with huge unpaid corp tax and don't pay the rates (business council tax) in their area. Whereas small businesses on the high street get laser focused by HMRC and the council to pay shit on time.
Corporation tax is levied on profits. Rockstar North are presumably diverting all their profits to Take Two through some loophole, so technically aren't making a profit, therefore no taxes. It's a standard way for businesses to fuck over the countries where they're based.
You paid more taxes when you bought GTAV than they have in a decade.
I hate to say this but I do agree. Amazon does it because the laws allow them to.
We should fault both the system, and the ones taking advantage of it - especially if the ones taking advantage of it are massive companies
Corporation tax isn't devolved, so this isn't really something for the Scottish government to deal with, although that being said, she might have to comment on it anyway since there's so little awareness of what's devolved and what isn't.
