What is the equivalent tax rate in these other countries and why is ours higher? If our tax rates were at the same levels as other countries, there would be no gain in transferring profits.

Rate

The 2013 Dutch corporate tax rate is applied at 20% for the taxable amount up to and including EUR 200,000. For the excess taxable amount the rate is 25%.

Exemptions

Certain items of income are exempt from Dutch corporate tax. The most important items of income that are exempt are:

capital gains and dividends derived from qualifying subsidiaries ("participation exemption");

income attributable to a foreign business enterprise ("permanent establishment").

Participation exemption

Capital gains and dividends derived from a qualifying subsidiary are fully exempt from corporate tax in the Netherlands ("participation exemption"). A subsidiary qualifies for the Dutch participation exemption when:
the subsidiary is an active company; and
the Dutch parent company holds an interest of at least 5% in such company.

Foreign Branch

Income received by a Dutch company from a foreign branch is exempt from Dutch corporate tax provided such branch is a permanent establishment or representative.[

Its tax avoidance or clever accounting - either way when that political party of yours tells folk about the need for cuts and austerity, perhaps you should remind them that UBER cost us a couple of nurses

It certainly is but unfortunately tax avoidance is not illegal. I think there needs to be a change in law, and I don't know whose law or laws need changing, to make tax payable in the country where the money is earned. If I earned enough to worry about the level of taxation, I think I would look elsewhere to register a business.

Brussels competition officials have no powers to challenge generous tax deals offered to multinationals directly. They are only able to intervene if it can be shown that a specific deal was offered to one or more companies and not made available to competitors.
YES. We can all have the same deal as UBER.
