Actually that is EU law, if you trade in more than one EU country, you get to chose which country your company is registered in, and that and only that country gets to tax your company on its EU earnings.

The EU wrote the EU tax laws, all international companies base their tax paying entity in the country they think benefits them most in terms of benefit to their shareholders in COMPLIANCE WITH EU TAX LAW.

Why is this basic EU tax law so rarely mentioned, it wouldn’t be because it makes those nasty horrible companies not look bad ?

Perhaps you personally don’t do as much as legally possible to minimise your tax, company CFO are supposed to do exactly that.
