This generally wasn't the case with H1-Bs that I've worked with.

H1-Bs pay taxes but L1's skirt taxes completely so it probably cancels itself out. L1s are typically paid expenses only and the consulting firms that pay them deposit their salaries into offshore bank accts. So its really tough on the system, resources used but no taxes paid at all except maybe hotel taxes where they are staying and the little sales taxes.
