Yahoo

The internet giant, is one of the largest websites in the U.S., which claims to attract more than half a billion customers every months in more than 30 languages, has a wide range of products and services, starting from storing personal information and tracking usage, to Yahoo! Next, an incubation ground for future technologies.  The company reported about 88 percent of its total revenues from its marketing services and search advertising. The profits for 2010 stood at $855 million, whereas the tax paid was a negative $82 million, a fall of 9.6 percent. Though less than Pepco and GE, why does a company, which stores over 150 TB of the database of all U.S. taxpayers, shun taxes itself? Is it joining the list of U.S. companies who are trying every possible means to pay the least amount to the government?
