Google Inc NASDAQ:GOOG in NOT a Tax Cheat
As regular readers would know I am not a big Google management fan, and certainly not an Eric Schmidt fan, but is the company a Tax Cheat? No not even close.
Google Inc NASDAQ:GOOG is not an entirely US company although people would like to think so, Apple Inc NASDAQ:AAPL, Goldman Sachs NYSE:GS are not either, these companies are true multinationals with international obligations and responsibilities, they are not American.
As management navigate the various and varied regulatory environments around the world they are presented with challenges and opportunities, and in dealing with those challenges and opportunities their responsibility is to shareholders, not to the US government.
For those crying tax cheat, you should remember that America is not a socialist state (yet) and making the best, legal choices for shareholder value is a legal and necessary measure, in tough economic times it can be the difference between success and failure, it is capitalism and should be celebrated.
A good deal of my own week is spent advising individuals and corporations and the nuances of doing business in Asia and proper structuring in relation to financing and taxation, and of course the laws applicable, Google has done an excellent job in using their international presence and structure to mitigate their taxes, I do not see they have involved themselves in any questionable practices at all, just pure straight down the line best practice solutions, something they should be applauded for, not be held out to public ridicule.
So in this department Google, and Schmidt have done well and shareholders should be thankful.
