Imagine if the EU fined Ireland like it fines US mega corporations when they’ve been deemed to break the law. 4% of global turnover for GDPR breaches for example. If the EU wants to take tax avoidance seriously it would fine Ireland 4% of their GDP until they shut these schemes down.
But it doesn’t. This is simply a charade.
I didn’t see it in the article, but doesn’t Ireland have comically low tax rates to start with?
And you could say they are pretty lenient with enforcing GDPR & co (they don’t do fuck if not forced).
Ireland really seems corrupt as fuck when it comes to Facebook, Apple and I think Google.
Yes, that is why many big tech companies have their european hq there.
