Airbnb paid French tax man just '€70,000'

Airbnb, the online house rental giant might be worth €27 billion but the company only paid €70,000 in tax in France last year, according to reports in the French press.

The house-sharing site, which has taken France by storm, paid €69,168 in corporation tax last year according to Le Parisian newspaper which has studied the files and crunched the numbers.

Even more surprising than the apparently measly sum is that the tax paid was actually a drop of 18 percent on the amount the company paid in 2014.

 France is Airbnb’s second biggest market after the United States and its popularity has ballooned in recent months, which makes the amount of tax it reportedly pays even more surprising. Full story...
