Living in Denmark and having worked for the tax system (SKAT) here I am glad that this ruling was overturned. I believe that Margrethe Vestager should clean up the tax system here in her home country of Denmark before trying to clean up the tax system in Ireland. The tax system here is slow, corrupt, beaurocratic, and prosecutes the weak and vunerable, while letting people who are famous, or people who owe billions that are hard to prosecute off the hook.

What I have seen however is that the danish tax system has fined many well intentioned tax payers, often when the problem was that the SKAT themselves have made a mistake. And then at the same time many people who run businesses are able to avoid tax by negotiating with SKAT. I guess the problem is that instead of being run as a public service which is funded by the public, it seems to be run like a business now, trying to get income any way it can. This is partly caused by the compartmentalised departments in Skat and internal prosecution targets
