Have you got a video?
What of, Russians less than half my age built like brick ****houses? No, I’m not that stupid!There’s a load of it invested in Spain too. Very near to our place is a casino. Packed with Russians every night. The villas in the complex opposite the casino is, as far as I can tell, 100% occupied with Russians too. Even when they were building it, it had a Russian sales office staffed by Russians. Weren’t even interested in showing us round. I think they just come over, gamble, go home. You rarely see them anywhere else. On the other hand, most of the bars and restaurants are owned and staffed by......Irish.

Indeed..."Washington’s bid to break OECD talks deadlock threatens to put tax havens out of business"
And a good thing too.
The UK and Ireland are Tax havens.
So the argument against the EU was that it was too controlling. Now the argument is its too lax. Consistency of a Brexxer.
Your dislike of Ireland Tax Haven status it seems is based on your dislike of the EU.
The UK, Ireland and all other tax havens should be dealt with.
I'm surprised that you don't seem to understand Irelands status? Don't you work in FinTech?
All the big Tech firms use Ireland as their distribution and sales location. It's not just Apple. Almost their entire economy is built around serving other people's markets. In my line of work we ran stuff through Denmark for the same reason. Slap a royalty fee on the sub for using some spurious IP and route the payment via Denmark to avoid local corporation tax on Profit.
Rather like the '1.12 square mile' does the same for the UKAlmost their entire economy is built around serving other people's markets.
The EU had been trying to push through a common tax policy for all its member states.I perfectly understand Irelands status and the use of transfer pricing and other schemes like the Dutch Sandwich.
The point I made was the EU is both too lax and too controlling for some. No consistency.
All tax havens need to be dealt with. They distort the market.
Ireland is probably more of a launderette for the profits of the corporates rather than a haven.I'm surprised that you don't seem to understand Irelands status? Don't you work in FinTech?

Ireland is maybe more of a launderette for the profits of multinationals than a haven.
All depends what the rules are under a new regime.let's suppose, under a new regime
As far as i know these corporations were allowed to process profits made in other countries through the Irish tax system.
