Ireland choose to join the EU and Ireland has hugely benefited

The Leave EU people are the best. They sound like the dumb Texan’s wanting to leave the US any time there panties get in a bunch over some trivial BS. Like children throwing a fit at there parents when they are told they have to eat there vegetables, but the child’s response is to run away from home and make his own home! With out vegetables being required. That will show’em!! Just stupid.

The EU is canada goose factory outlet not canada goose outlet store uk the best, but NO government is, by default. The good thing about the EU is that they can throw judgements at companies canada goose who are tax dodging like Apple and more then likely get them to be held accountable. Look at those numbers. That is some serious tax dodging. Its unfair to everyone even to the Irish Canada Goose Jackets locals who pay the full normal tax amount.

If the news read, ohh Ireland is suing Apple for back taxes. Nobody really cares outside of Ireland. But the EU says it? There is a TON more weight behind it.

And you cannot throw that 6000 jobs thing at anybody. Same kind of argument is made about the Coal miner’s in the US. Its a sad story to see a job go. But ruining everything else for those 6000 jobs is worse.

Spot on. You couldn’t get this sort of judgement outside the EU. One country goes it alone, Apple could quite happily back their bags and starve them out, the EU does it and they’ve got to cough up the cash and there is nothing they can do about it. unless they want to lose access to a market of 550 million (relatively) rich people.

And yet Leave EU keeps parroting the line that the EU does nothing for them. Depressing such limited intelligence exists in the https://www.nationaalzweminstituuteindhoven.nl self styled first world.

But ruining everything else for those 6000 jobs is worse. What, is this news to people or something? European law has been shitting on local laws since its inception in 1992.

There’s another reason for Brexit: national sovereignty. People talk about the EU like it’s not optional and Canada Goose Outlet countries don’t choose sign up for this. Ireland choose to join the EU and Ireland has hugely benefited (remember the Celtic Tiger?) and now Ireland doesn’t want to hold up its end of the deal and instead also operate as the sort of tax haven which most affects the larger economies that paid canada goose outlet canada for half the roads around here, on both sides of the border.

There’s canada goose outlet new york city always Article 50. I hear that’s a great idea.

You’re the only one that cares about Tim Cook’s involvement here :p Multi national companies doing business in the EU are all shitting their pants right now because they all hide through one tax haven or another (Hello holland). This is one of those „too big to be addressed” problems that just got addressed. It is odd to me that they impose it as „back taxes” and not a fine. It would seem that Ireland doesn’t have much incentive to follow through on this ruling (although I’m sure there is actually a reason to).

The important parts of this story have nothing to do with Apple. Apple’s statement was obvious and could have been written out beforehand.

How many jobs did your tax haven actually create in Ireland6000. Apple is actually the largest private employer in Cork, Ireland. but don’t let that stop you from ranting!

HOT DAMN! 6000? Omg, every country in the world should stand in line to get 6000 jobs created in exchange for 14 billions of canada goose coats dollars in taxes! That’s the fucking deal of the century. But fair enough, that’s more than the article alluded to when they said that Apple’s Main canada goose black friday sale HQ in Ireland is a paper shell company.

Maybe you misunderstood the original piece but buy canada goose jacket cheap Apple essentially did nothing wrong here. Ireland gave out tax exemptions to a private company which is expressly forbidden by EU law. Apple didn’t force Ireland to do this.

Technically they did nothing canada goose outlet wrong, no. A company should use every official canada goose outlet loophole to dodge as much taxes as it possibly can. Whether Apple and others greased a few palms here and there (Because man is that prime minister screaming loud about having to get 14 billion dollars in back taxes) to nudge nudge wink wink Ireland into making these sweet deals for large corporations, we’ll leave in the middle, as well as whether it’s right for them to keep dodging their taxes around until they pay Canada Goose Coats On Sale 0.0005%. Seems legit.

This has nothing to do with Tim Cook or Apple. This ruling puts every „sovereign law” in every country in the EU up for debate. canada goose outlet It essentially states that unless the EU „approves” your local laws they canada goose outlet don’t mean a damn thing.

For Apple to protest EU sovereignty, as if they give a single flying shit about that, is the height of comedy. I guess he can’t come out and say „14 billion bucks? WHAT THE FUCK?!” But hey, if you want to believe that he genuinely cares, more power to you.
