Found out something interesting / worrying tonight.

Uber taxi service, based themselves in Holland, pay drivers less than the local cabs do - and because of the Maastricght treaty pay the tax in holland - and then because of eu loop holes - end up sending most of their money offshore.

If that is the EU protecting labour conditions / wages etc then I'm a dutchman

This is why all the big business want us to stay in. If we leave they have to pay more taxes.

I think thats unlikely, there wouldn't be anything stopping them having their headquarters in tax havens in an isolated uk.
If anything it would be a lot harder to clamp down on that sort of thing as an individual nation.

But they couldn't channel european profits through UK tax havens, only UK profits.

Who knows, they usually seem to find a way to do whatever the hell they want
