I'm getting more and more frustrated by my own country's willingness to facilitate this. It just doesn't make any sense. From what I can tell it's all based on old-fashioned debunked economic theories in the same vain as "trickle-down-economy".
There's a growing resistance to the Netherlands as a "Doorsluisland", and our current administration's political turmoil will hopefully provide the momentum for actual change - so hopefully things will change.
Here's a nice (Dutch) article on it. The big take-away with other tax "havens" is that the money doesn't reside / stay in the Netherlands, it's just passed through it. Like Uber did.
