This is a normal post picked the wrong side
"The decision leaves me with no choice but to seek cabinet approval to appeal. This is necessary to defend the integrity of our tax system; to provide tax certainty to business; and to challenge the encroachment of EU state aid rules into the sovereign member state competence of taxation."

If the rate of taxation is 12.5% of profits and you are collecting 0.005% from Apple. I'd be worried about your competence in collecting taxation.

This is a normal post Thing is Irelands been doing this with apple for a long time so it must be in their favour to do so.
I mean they appealing against collecting tax equal to their health spending.

This is a normal post For the first time since joining the EU
they are about to become a net contributor rather than a net beneficiary of the EU, this is in large part due to their fairly longstanding favourable business tax policies aiding economic recovery.

This is a normal post Well we cant have that!

This is a normal post Ireland needs jobs and job security as a priority
which is why it offers low levels of corporate taxation to begin with. Then negotiators from Apple walk into the Irish equivalent of HMRC and say: "Look we're providing loads of jobs here if you don't sort us out a bit we're moving to Luxembourg"

This is a normal post Nearly 6000 jobs vs a £11 billion pound lump sum and keeping the EU happy...
Tough call.

This is a normal post I like that 'tax certainty' bit
Imagine a tax system where corporations can't be 100% certain that they're going to pay fuck all. Those poor loves, they must be worried sick

This is a normal post I know, the poor little sausages, rather than give the mid year dividend a dent
they'd rather threaten the livelihoods of hundreds of families. What a marvellous company to work for.
