<P><BIG>Hi,</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, earns over $13 million per hour.
But his company barely pays any tax in Europe.</B> [1]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>To avoid the rules and pocket billions, companies like Amazon hide their
profits in the most shady of places – "tax havens". <STRONG>Vladimir,
</STRONG><B><STRONG>we pay our fair share of taxes.</STRONG> So why shouldn’t
Amazon and other tech giants? </B></BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>Denmark, Finland and others are taking them on by supporting a law
that would make tech giants do just that:</B> disclose how much money they make
wherever they operate, in any country in the world, so they face public pressure
to pay up. <STRONG>So what’s standing in their way? France and a group of
other EU countries.</STRONG> They want to water down the ambition of this law
and push for sneaky exemptions which would let companies continue hide
their profits in tax havens. [2]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>If thousands of us champion the call of those counries that are brave
enough to stand up to tech giants with a strong petition, it could<B> </B>tip
the balance in our favour before a critical vote in just a few weeks. <B>If we
reach 100,000 signatures, we’ll deliver our call right before the
vote.</B></BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>Add your name to make companies like Amazon pay their fair
share:</B></BIG></P>

<P><BIG>When the pandemic forced us to stay home and small local shops to close,
big online companies came out on top. <STRONG>Since the beginning of the
COVID-19 pandemic, Amazon’s </STRONG><B><STRONG>profits have increased nearly
200%</STRONG>. </B>[3] </BIG></P>
<P><BIG>And these trillion-dollar companies still pay less towards our public
services than people like us – employees, owners of small businesses or
retirees. Why? <STRONG>Because they can afford an army of well paid lobbyists
pressuring EU leaders to let them get away with it.</STRONG></BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>Europe is on the verge of passing a law that could help stop this
injustice.</B> But the negotiations are very tight in the lead up to this vote.
If we show that we are on the side of EU leaders who call for tax justice, they
could resist the pressure of these monster companies!</BIG></P>

<P><BIG>PS: According to the Tax Justice Network, every second, tax dodgers keep
the equivalent of one nurse’s salary out of our public budgets and in their
offshore accounts. [4] Their selfishness has brutal consequences, which we
saw first hand when we desperately needed frontline health workers during the
pandemic. If the EU increases corporate transparency and stops tax dodging, we
could easily fund essential services such as health care. <A
