The Emerald petro-state is riding high off tech and pharma—for now | Europe
Summary: The article discusses Ireland's emergence as a prime destination for multinational corporations seeking to minimize their tax liabilities, likening it to the "Saudi Arabia" of siphoned-off global profits. This phenomenon is largely driven by the country's favorable tax policies, particularly in the technology and pharmaceutical sectors, which have attracted significant foreign investment.
Ireland's corporate tax rate, one of the lowest in Europe at 12.5%, has made it an attractive location for companies looking to optimize their tax strategies. This influx of investment has transformed Ireland into a key player in the global economy, benefitting from globalization and economic development while raising concerns about tax fairness and the sustainability of such a model.
