Google's Alphabet restructure could get boost from Delaware tax loophole

Tolerance of corporate secrecy and business-friendly tax laws in state where Google lists its official address have seen it labelled one of world's top tax havens

Google's Street View cameras have photographed locations across the world, allowing armchair tourists a view of anything from the Tower of London to Tiananmen Square. But one address is notable by its absence.

And yet this is the official address of Google Inc, the holding company of one of the world's most successful software groups.
