"It is not uncommon for multinational enterprises in Europe to operate.

The international tax rules reached in 1920s included an important starting point to prevent duplication of taxes from enterprises operating across countries and regions.

However, with the continuous development of the world economy and globalization, more and more multinational companies begin to take advantage of loopholes in rules to avoid tax.

They set up headquarters in low tax countries, such as Ireland and Luxemburg, and then sent most of their profits in Europe to that country.

Last year, Starbucks was also in trouble and faced with huge fines from the European Union.

Starbucks signed a tax agreement privately with the Holland government. Starbucks runs all its business in Europe through Holland, and this agreement enables Starbucks to pay only a small part of its revenue as a corporate tax.

For example, in 2014, the pre tax profit of Starbucks's business in Amsterdam was 407 million euros (about 2 billion 964 million yuan), but the corporate tax paid was less than 1% of the pre tax profit, and only 2 million 600 thousand euros (about 18 million 935 thousand and 300 yuan).

The EU is cracking down on the tax avoidance behavior of such enterprises, blocking the loopholes in the law.

Last October, the finance ministers of the group of twenty signed the largest comprehensive international tax reform agreement in the past hundred years. They will work closely to establish new rules for the taxation of multinational companies' profits through close cooperation.

According to the new regulation, even if the enterprise pfers profits, the government can still levy taxes on it.

Not long ago, the European Union's relevant regulators accused apple of using its subsidiary companies to circumvent the tax revenue generated outside the United States. Apple said it would appeal against the ruling against apple.
