Companies (Slippery Eels) do not pay taxes we like to believe they do. They are just clearing houses. The customers pay the tax and the cost is passed down to the citizens (lowest level). Example Uber, and Airbnb, pay nothing but their drivers and customers certainly do.

Mizrahi Developments, Walmart, Trump enterprises, the Guess company are other examples in a more evil sense. Don’t ever be a subcontractor/worker involved with these companies you will pay them.

The Hudson Bay Company never paid taxes in their existence but the minions underneath certainly did.

How does Ireland compare to continental Luxembourg, Switzerland, or Monaco, These countries are aristocratic tax havens, Ireland is an upstart blue collar country how dare they go above their station?

Hopefully the money will actually be used to benefit the actual citizens of Ireland, but the way government works across the world I wouldn’t hold my breath, 1 billion or so Euros in the escrow account have already been lost in bad investments so far.

Companies simply take advantage of tax laws to their benefit, just as anyone would. Do you pay more tax than you have too? I be you take every tax break you can, as I would. Doesn’t make them evil. We are all overtaxed, business included. 

i’m retired, retired people do not get any significant tax breaks, at least not without a catch, lucky to have Prop 13 which had nothing to do with the grace of the politicians. most of the taxes I pay these days are use taxes and you can’t get out of them.
