Any corporation that wants to do business in the EU will notice

The Swiss court decision is an inflection point, not just for EU doings.

ChatGPT tax advice: "While it may seem tempting to follow the example of wealthy individuals who engage in questionable accounting practices, there are several reasons why you should not do so.
