The Dutch House of Representatives wants the Secretary of State to talk about paying taxes Shell | Now

The House of Representatives wishes to speak with Secretary of State Menno Snel (Finance) following a report that Shell does not pay any profits tax in the Netherlands. Henk Nijboer (19659002), a member of the Labor Party, supports the debate on this subject. This is based on a confidential internal document from the Ministry of Finance and interviews with insiders.

The House of Representatives is very critical and would like the Secretary of State to tell us what exactly are the constructions that Shell applies. The Cabinet has already announced measures to combat the tax evasion of multinationals, but the question is whether they will also fill the gaps in the law used by the oil and gas group.

Shell says he wants to be transparent

Shell says he has done nothing wrong. "I think it's important to be very clear: Shell abides by the tax rules applicable to all Dutch companies," said Marjan van Loon, CEO of Shell Netherlands. "The tax authorities know exactly what we are doing."

According to Van Loon, the discussion on this subject does not belong to the newspaper. "Shell wants to be as transparent as possible, but we can not rely on anonymous sources to throw confidential information on the street."
