I am finishing up my 2015 taxes as we speak. I am also going to pay those by end of this month. I am happy to pay my taxes and contribute to the country I live in to the fullest so that everybody has access to clean water, good education, is safe from violence, from fire outburst and is able to enjoy good infrastructure, clean streets. Let’s ban all those cooperations from our country and let them move to Cayman islands or somewhere else and do their business. They do not pay taxes here – they might just as well leave to where their money is stashed.

Why are we allowing multinational cooperations to get away with not contributing to our societies? Why are our politicans so lame and let them get away with it?

Our small webshop www.nutur.nl pays more taxes than Apple (in percentage of revenue). Give me a break. yeah the world is unfair but who is making it unfair?

What would happen if we all “optimise” our taxes like Apple and stash them away?
