Burger King Fans Call For Boycott Over Tax Dodge
By Caitlin Gooch • August 27, 2014Burger King is getting backlash from fans over its plan to avoid U.S. taxes by fleeing to Canada. People flooded the fast-food chain’s Facebook page this week with threats of a boycott after the company announced talks to merge with Tim Hortons. It’s not clear how much the move to Canada would reduce tax costs on the combined company, but the deal would allow it to avoid paying double taxes on profits earned abroad, even though the company would still pay U.S. taxes on domestic sales.
