Not to keep banging the same old drum but Starbucks weren't evading any tax at all - they were paying exactly what they were legally obliged to pay.



Starbucks were paying what their accountants said they were legally obliged to pay.

But we don't know if that's actually what they're legally obliged to pay, because it's weird and borderline and hasn't been tested by courts.

Vodafone didn't think they were evading tax, but ended up making a deal with UK tax authorities to avoid court.
