The UK government has no choice in the matter; it has to abide by EU tax law, which makes it perfectly legal to move profits between EU member states. This is something that was discussed in the recent G8 Summit meeting in Northern Ireland. But unless or until EU law is changed, I strongly disagree with your assertion that it's "near-criminal" to act in accordance with the law. Blame the law, not the people who obey it.
