Why would they do that ? The light tax they require from those entity still benefits them immensily, because those entity choose to pay them there instead of elsewhere.
If Ireland introduced more taxes those big corps would move away, so they would actually receive less...
- Tepix 5y agoYou can't receive less than zero
- rorykoehler 5y agoIncome taxes from employees of these megacorps is where Ireland makes the money back.
- axlee 5y agoThe definition of a parasitic economy. Other countries are well in their rights to pressure Ireland as hard as they can to end this theft.
- rorykoehler 5y agoI agree other countries can do what this wish but realistically what's the carrot for Ireland though?

- de_Selby 5y agoYou seem to have a very strange definition of theft. Other countries are perfectly entitled to do similarly, as Netherlands does. Why is there not a focus on countries such as Bermuda here? They are the "tax havens" who make this possible in the first place.

The topic at hand is Ireland. > Other countries are perfectly entitled to do similarly, as Netherlands does. If every country acted the same way, there would not be a single functioning nation on earth. Their benefits only exist because other countries are losing out, which makes them parasites.
- de_Selby 5y ago> there would not be a single functioning nation on earth Holy hyperbole, Batman. No, it would just mean that there would be a homogeneous corporate tax system, which is what people seem to always argue for. 'Parasites' is also a ridiculous description.
