CBS jealously defended the pretense that a series of numbered companies with few (or zero!) employees were actually conducting its licensing and distribution business, firing at least one exec who tried to blow the whistle on the scheme. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/01/business/media/viacom-cbs-tax-scheme.html … 8/

Uber may be an aggressive user of the Dutch system, but they're not the only one.
@ViacomCBS evaded a $4b US tax-liability by pretending to license its IP to shell companies in "Barbados, the Bahamas, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Britain." https://gizmodo.com/viacomcbs-avoided-nearly-4-billion-in-tax-on-franchise-1847011793 … 6/Show this threadThanks.

When you think about tax-havens, you probably think about Caribbean "treasure islands," the ex-colonies whose erstwhile conquerors set them up as dependent financial secrecy jurisdictions whose economies were doomed to be stunted forever. 1/pic.twitter.com/m56tafTMHl

What if I told you there was a single intervention we could deliver in our cities that would cool them during heatwaves, reduce flooding, scrub pollutants from the air, boost biodiversity, improve public health, and even reduce crime? You wouldn't believe me. But it's true.pic.twitter.com/W1KWm6RHFk
