A VPRO Backlight investigation follows the paper trail multinational corporations use to avoid paying tax, starting in the Netherlands, a small country that turns out to be one of the world's largest conduits for corporate profit. Tax lawyers, accountants, and academics walk through the mechanics on camera: shell companies with no employees registered at Amsterdam addresses, licensing fees routed through Luxembourg, and profits parked in Bermuda where the tax rate is effectively zero. The film uses real corporate structures, including the kind of setup nicknamed the 'Dutch Sandwich,' to show how a company can legally shift billions away from the countries where it actually does business. Interviews with insiders who built these systems sit alongside footage of anonymous office buildings that exist only on paper, making visible an industry designed to stay invisible. The film's argument is straightforward: this is not a handful of loopholes but a functioning global infrastructure, built by respectable firms, that quietly determines how much tax the public actually collects from the world's biggest companies.
