I Agree with you - in the USA
a) our tax system is seriously screwed up
b) Mega-Companies can afford to hire an army of tax experts to take care of such things.
Just to show you how screwed up.
In my state if a business makes things and they bring in materials from another state to make something, they must pay use tax on those materials (because they did not pay state sales tax) even if what is made is sold out of state. Of course you have to pay state tax on the profits from the sale.
Another example. You are supposed to pay tax on barter. If I paint your house and you repair my car in exchange. Each of us is supposed to pay state tax on what it would cost to hire the work done.
