No they dont. But they love it when this false Info gets continually parroted.

The EU is one of the biggest and most attractive markets worldwide. Companies will NOT leave it. Not every asset can just be up and moved. Panama Papers and countless other sources also show that anything that CAN be moved is already there.

A lot of companies avoid taxes in the EU already (including big tech giants).
