Fishmarket Kampot is closing

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Starbucks is a publicly traded company with shares anyone can buy. I’m sure if all their shareholders demanded the company pay more taxes and made no profit it would be forced to. Or better yet, if you could buy 50.1% of the shares, you could force it to.
Wow, this will be the umpteenth time I see you make uninformed statements on here. Please have a read about transfer pricing practices, royalty payments, interest expenses and other tax avoidance instruments deployed in the UK as researched by the University of North Dakota. Starbucks does this on a global basis with their divisisons. That is why I inserted the link to the investigation by the Korean NTS on similar practices over there. Company owned and licensed is around 50/50.

Starbucks - coffee for people who don't really like coffee.

I had a mate who had a real thing about Starbucks and Amazon not paying their fair amount of tax. He would always bring it up in conversation, even if it was not even related to the current topic!

We could never work out why he was so incensed by these particular companies. Anyhoo, it turned out his dad had invested heavily and was making shit load of money. Whatever dude, get over it...which what he did when his dad died and he inherited his portfolio. He never mentioned it again.

I guess it was a case of "It's not fair therefore I hate them". :beer1:
