| Facebook will be spending hundreds of millions every year running the data centres that provide the service then on top of this will be the R&D of the engineers developing the service. These are all genuine costs involving real money so how much of these costs should be allocated to countries like the UK who are using this infrastructure for the service? Accountants will undoubtedly do this to minimise profits and tax but I'm not sure if there is a generally accepted way to allocate costs across a global business. |
