An article posted by Accounting Today has illustrated how large companies like WeWork are working to undermine some of the tax breaks countries abroad offer office operators.

Depending on how WeWork is currently structured, there is a chance that the company may be able to shift income into places like the UK that offer tax protections that it can exploit. The link to the article can be found here.
