The American government is complaining thet Apple is not paying taxes in the USA on billions of dollars of income..

The thing is Apple have registered their offices in Ireland and other countries so the sell everything from Ireland and buy everything in other countries..this means that in the countries that they buy they can claim tax refunds and in Ireland they pay taxes at a much reduced rate..

Google, Starbucks and Amazon also use the same system against Britain..but should we blame them, if our governments aren't clever enough to outwit a few accountants then maybe we need better government.
