The Untaxables: The Big Corporations Dodging All Their Taxes | Tax Evasion Investigative Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Companies like Apple, Google and Starbucks have been heavily criticized for seemingly mastering the art of tax dodging. They make billions in profits and pay virtually nothing back to the state. How do they do it? Why did it take so long for politicians to start addressing the issue?
After months of investigation, we uncovered confidential documents revealing how Amazon avoids paying tax. Witness how steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal reacts when asked about its tax position in France and see how British American Tobacco wines and dines French MPs to ensure it pays much less tax than it should.
This documentary was produced by Premiere Lignes and directed by Edouard Perrin. It was first released in 2013.

Mr. Cecil reminds me of a character in a joke my dad used to tell about a guy with a sign on his desk which says my work is so secret even I don't know what I'm doing.
The Amazon location in LUX is just a business office suite service like Mail Boxes Etc.. They don't transact business there.
There are actual EU laws as well in the structures between EU members. So what he has done is to try to adopt some kind of model like the UK offshore had. But he might not know that was done in a legal way. Because of our commonwealth etc. So these American companies maybe presuming without realising the EU tax laws and tax structures which are agreed and signed treaties etc. So....
Overcharge them on tax and they'll soon spill the beans. This is a mafia business above board 😡😡😡
Make them pay up. This is a Scotland Yard investigating job. They employ illegal immigrants etc.
Too bad we have politicians in BED with these companies!
Watching this you realise politicians are the same in every country. I like the way executive's are thanked for appearing.
I would bo dragged to court. And used as an
Example to frighten others.
And yet we still continue to support these companies on a daily basis. Think twice the next time you order from Amazon & Co. 👀
I have never bought anything from Amazon and Never will.
So what? You’re buying from another company doing the same thing.
And it is not hurting their feelings one bit...
@@laurakibben4147 that’s not the point
In 2016 Amazon closed my seller account with 600k in pending deposits with no explanation. Sill have yet to receive any money. None of my family or kids order from Amazon. We are doing just fine too. There are other companies that don't sell cheap knock-offs that deliver fast too.
Is this the case, of the puppets, interviewing the puppeteers?
If you can't beat them, join them!
Most of the comments are from people who don't have a business mentality thus, they will remain 9-to-5 workers and will wait for someone to pay them a pension.
Invest how they do, set up companies the way they do and where they do, open trust funds the way they do and most of all, learn how the system works. With dedication, it's easy to beat, it has been designed this way, to make business.
Fucking disgusting how these people just scrape out our justice system to avoid taxes.
I hate people that start a sentence with 'SO'.....
Losing Just 60-80 billion Euros a year is nothing is nothing. These governments are making goddamn trillions. Honestly, if you don’t get caught evading tax then that’s absolutely fine! It’s your money and you earned it, there’s no obligation to share it…I’m being for real 😅😅😂😂
What totally inept and inadequate tax regulations/laws! Is it just working people who pay their taxes? It's a vile situation.
Margaret Hodge is a legend! Good on you for giving him hell lady! ✊🏻
LEGEND ? How long was Margaret Hodge, IN GOVERNMENT, while Amazon were tax dodging ?
Don't give me the twaddle about tax not being her brief :
Being an MP, whose constituency is deprived of resources, because of tax dodgers, made stopping them, part of her job.
Corrupt imitation lefties, making all that noise while Tories are in power, but not when imitation Labour are in power is to be expected from imitation lefty infiltrators into the Labour Party.
That does not make her a legend
Guess we are fucked after all. God damn it.
What if government tried taxing in products instead of money?
1:16 What even is this video? It looked like a staged creepshot.
Should pay tax for all earnings in the uk
Why, so it can be be used to support militaries which murder innocent people? Great logic.
Basement on black list's all marked ! same as all other's !
Hiding behind taxes🧐
Boycott Amazon.
Empathy
Great documentary and investigation but what the heck is there suddenly a song in minute 46? 😂😂😂
so raise the taxes on products they need to make products
Why documentaries all have the same format, they are really similar.
Are you really concerned about this documentary indtead of this devious business?
i can be concerned about both@@Hiajarock
Most I know would like to pay as little tax as possible. Suddenly, when massive companies do it, it's wrong.
Anyone who claims "Well they make billions.", is an idiot. The point is the principle.
Not really. The point is that these companies employ resources that ordinary people do not have to avoid and sometimes evade tax on an industrial scale. The general population has their tax removed at source and cannot avoid a vast amount of tax at all and as a proportion of their income pay a high percentage. Amazon for example employs Luxembourg as an artificial hq to shift profits there so they pay negligible tax and certainly not what they would if they declared the profits in the country where they were earned. These profits then go to people who already have more money than 99.9% of the population will ever see.
The tax ordinary people pay is used to support society that these companies exploit to make vast profits. You also need to factor in that the people benefiting from this undertaxed revenue also structure that income so they avoid tax on their personal income so not only is it avoiding tax one the profit, it is also avoiding tax on the income as well.
I agree people do not want to pay tax but the issue at hand is the fact that the ordinary person pays more as a percentage of their money than these companies do.
As long as all their employees are paying income tax, then they are still a social benefit.
I don't think the total amount of all of their employees paid tax would even come CLOSE to what Amazon should be paying! 🤦🏻♀️🙄
Also, that's not really the point is it?....
