  1. Luxembourg is not a [tax haven](https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/100115/why-luxembourg-considered-tax-haven.asp) you say?

    Not worth watching this video imo, guy’s clearly just not very well informed.

    Edit : More sources for the one that tried answering that it no longer is or for the downvoters :

    – [Le Monde’s OpenLux investigation and how the Grand Duchy continues to be a tax haven despite Luxembourgish authorities claiming they no longer are since the Lux Leaks came out](https://www.lemonde.fr/les-decodeurs/article/2021/02/08/openlux-the-secrets-of-luxembourg-a-tax-haven-at-the-heart-of-europe_6069140_4355770.html)

    – [The EU Tax Observatory describing Luxembourg as a tax haven](https://delano.lu/article/luxembourg-is-a-tax-haven-says)

    – [Article describing Luxembourg, but also Switzerland, Ireland & The Netherlands as tax havens](https://www.politico.eu/article/oxfam-luxembourg-ireland-netherlands-among-worst-tax-havens/)

    – [Amazon avoided taxes on a record €44bn yearly revenue thanks to Luxembourg ](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/may/12/amazon-wins-appeal-over-250m-eu-tax-bill)

    The list goes on. As the first source I listed mentioned, Luxembourg has been a well known tax haven since the 1960s. The country makes most of its money in banking, not steel, since at least the 70/80s. Get your head out of the sand.
