An interesting precedent: is the writing on the wall for the corporate tax avoidance based economy in the RoI?
According to this:
http://www.theguardian.com/business/2013/aug/18/vodafone-tax-deal-irish-office
the Irish Government had to / agreed to repay $67m in taxes to Vodofone so the latter could pay it to Her Majesty’s Revenue Commissioners.
How long before the IRS in the US starts demanding reparations of this sort for US-Multinational tax avoidance?
