I think everyone should pay there taxes and if the people writing the laws mess up so loopholes exists you should still pay the taxes as intended.
I try not to presume to read anyone's mind nor assume that I clearly understand what the intentions are of governments in their laws outside of what is written. I think trying to determine what your portion of taxes "should be", especially as a multinational corporation, is absurd without consulting the "letter of the law".
