Yes, well, fortunately, the Important people in this story (The landlord) have plenty of tax loopholes they can take advantage of - which they will hold over the tenant's neck when it comes time to renew their lease.

I'm not sure a comparison between a multi national and a local business is apt. Granted they could probably be treated more similarly but multinational software and multinational hard goods seem to get similar tax treatment...No?
