The money is going to Ireland. It is not a fine but back payment of taxes owed.
Looking at it from a 'brexit' perspective it's yet another reason I'm disappointed we left the EU. It's powerful enough to do something about this while our own government can only wrangle £130m out of Google.
- pzh 10y agoBut if this money is collected by Ireland and goes into the Irish budget, wouldn't Brussels get a cut?
- k-mcgrady 10y agoThe EU will get money from it because Ireland owes money due to the bailout a few years ago and membership contributions I suppose. But those are things Ireland would be paying with or without this ruling. At least that's my understanding.
