Do the big technology companies dodge tax?

A very big issue at the moment is that of the big technology companies such as Apple and Google not paying enough in tax.

But what is the cause of this debate?

The companies themselves seem to think they are following the law perfectly and are just doing what makes the most sense for their businesses.

The governement seem to be saying that they are unlawfully avoiding paying taxes.

But are the government just blaming them to try and get voters on their side?

The recession has made finances tight for ordinary people and its very easy to point the finger at big business as teh cause of this.

A really interesting article from the BBC who spoke to Eric Schmidt over the issuye can be found here
