Google is soon going to stop taking advantage of the loopholes in the Dutch and Irish tax systems. The activity made the company save billions of dollars in taxes. This caused both the countries a huge economic loss that is why they have decided to put a stop to it. By the implementation of this method, the company used to save a huge amount of money in taxes of overseas tax revenue, as reported by Reuters.
The company was saving billions of dollars in taxes because the loopholes in the Dutch and Irish tax systems that are respectively called ‘Double Irish, Dutch Sandwich’ was letting them transfer the money from Ireland to Netherland and Bermuda. And Bermuda do not have the corporate income tax system and since it is the final stop to report income, Google and other corporations do not have to pay the overseas tax. And that is what causes the company to save a large sum of money in taxes.
