Wait till you hear about how Ireland uses this to fuck over every other country in the EU.

Nvidia’s situation has nothing to do with Ireland though

I guess; every company does this. My point was that it isn't only them doing horrible things.

Yeah here in the ol’ US of A, it’s Delaware, not Ireland

Eh, it doesn’t really have to do with Delaware either, that’s mainly for legal reasons anyways

If your not aware, Delaware is a tax haven. One address in deleware has a few hundred thousand odd companies are registered at it

A video on it as well

Most companies incorporate in Delaware for the ease of it and the legal protection, since they have a chancery court for corps

It can help tax-wise, but only with state taxes. And enough states have combined reporting laws at this point that the benefit is pretty thin anyways

In either case, Nvidia’s state taxes here are a very negligible portion of their tax expense
