A popular contemporary view is that multinational corporations are all greedy abusers of themselves with mankind, that in the Netherlands alone, but tax evasion. ‘Not us!’, calls Shell proud. In 2013, they say, to 6.9 billion euro in excise duties and taxes have to paid. There is a santa claus so anyway!

How this generosity largely works? Simple: you go, provided you are not in the border region lives, for your dose peut to a Shell-column. If your car have a belly full of has you can walk to the cassière, where you with a pain left face almost a euro a liter in taxes will pay (the rest goes partly to the support of needy South-Europeans). This ritual is repeated, depending on your rijfrequentie a tig several times a year.

At the end of the year, tapping the accountants of Shell temper on their calculators to see how many litres it is, and contribute the excise duties paid from the state treasury. Then there is a triumphant press release written, et voilà: people find you thanks to this cigar from your own box of love. A child could use it.

Shell wore globally more than 100 billion USD (72.5 billion euros) to the authorities. 80% of them, however, was in the form of the previously mentioned ‘doorgeefbelastingen’, with the remaining 20% came from his own pocket, to business tax.
