Netflix Offices in Paris and Amsterdam Raided in Tax Fraud Investigation

French and Dutch authorities are investigating Netflix for alleged tax fraud and undeclared labor practices dating back to 2019.

The raids are part of a preliminary investigation opened by the French National Financial Prosecutor's Office in November 2022.
Authorities suspect Netflix of minimizing its French tax obligations by channeling revenue through a Dutch subsidiary until 2021.
The investigation focuses on tax filings from 2019 to 2021, during which Netflix reportedly paid less than €1 million in French taxes despite millions of subscribers.
Netflix has stated it complies with tax laws in all operating countries and is cooperating with the investigation.
The coordinated effort between French and Dutch authorities has been ongoing for several months, facilitated by the EU's judicial cooperation unit, Eurojust.
