Wasn’t Trump’s business running one of those too?
USA really fast tracking the fall of its hegemony….
Amazing how none of these cunts know how tariffs work.
Pretty sure it helped Elon too
It’s the free market baby!
Thought he was too busy buying tesla stock to be on a podcast
What scam is that? Having a lower corporate tax rate? I thought Trump was all about lowering taxes for rich people?
Look he has a point to a certain extent.
I know we look at it through green tinted glasses, but if you look at it objectively, it makes sense from a US perspective to try to rectify it.
Now aren’t we all glad Michaél went over and licked trumps balls that worked out great.
Same with any business relying too much on their one big product or one big channel, we are going to have to sell fdi better to non American corps to keep our prosperity on track.
Talk of growing our own companies to fill the gap is magical thinking.
If the american mutlinats start shrinking employment in Ireland It will certainly make the immigration debate even louder. But maybe the house prices will moderate.
Ireland is rich. House prices only go up.
Let’s see what happens if Apple or Abbvie leave.
Ireland is a tax haven, Trump is bollocks but you need to accept this.
Is it VRT? Please let it be VRT .
Not many people have as punchable face as this guy.
Right, I see. But it’s OK to steal Greenland.
We have been putting eggs in this basket for 20 years but public services and infrastructure have barely evolved despite the reported influx of tax income. Everything meaningful got culled after the 08 crash and never replaced. We have nothing to show for it.
One has to wonder what will actually happen if some of the big multinationals pull out.
Lutnick might be with Trump but he is CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald and a shrewd operator. We are so obviously a tax haven that the US companies use to pay no tax in America while Americans pay a fortune for the drugs and we get all the money from the IP. We can only have ourselves to blame if the all eggs in one basket money tree is taken away.
Already trying to get Connor elected
This isn’t about rates – this is about how multinationals allocate profit within regions. Some multinationals have huge profits in Ireland, but low or no profits in other countries. They do this in a number of ways, big companies create all sorts of internal companies who are (in theory) buying and selling to each other, or being charged by other internal companies for the use of IP etc.
A tariff alone isn’t going to fix this for the benefit of the US, these sorts of structures require years of negotiations between countries to agree how best to fairly tax them. And the US was involved in the recent global deal on corporation tax.
We’re a small nation with no natural resources, except our incredible good looks and charisma.
And couldn’t do much with that because only fans wasnt invented back in the day. So we used every trick in the book to create an economy.
One building in the Caribbean full po boxes that are technically corporate HQs is a tax haven.
Ireland has proper companies, employing, well educated workers. Selling services and producing high end products. The foreign companies get political stability (the Americans can’t promise). Low tax. English speaking workers and unrestricted trade with 500milion EU citizens. (The US can’t promise).
This country does loads of things wrong, but we did this one thing incredibly/ surprisingly well.
The yanks are pissed that we out manoverd them.
2025 Stop the world and let me off ffs. The year shite off the internet finally broke the real world.
Yer man that ripped off the 9/11 families. Sure he’d know about scams.
Mc Gregor and must gonna have a nek’d fisting fight for dis 1
This isn’t the first time he’s ranted about Ireland being a tax haven either
I know nobody watched this podcast. This Howard lutnick is the architect behind trump and his new cabinet. He is the secretary of commerce. Just the fact he has ireland on his radar is extremely concerning!
Ireland is mostly certainly a tax heaven! Take your head out of your arse if you think anything else! All that ‘workforce’ ‘gateway to Europe’ is complete bullshit! Corporations care about 1 thing. MARGINS!
They aren’t going going to touch irelands pharmaceutical jobs. They are staying put till those plants go offline in 10 years or so!
They are going for the IP (intellectual property) these US tech/pharma companies have based here! That is going to be a €10 billion hit to our corporate tax revenue that can happen overnight!
We essentially steal that €10 billion in sales tax from other countries from product that never touches ‘irish soil’ but is taxed here none the less because of our Tax Haven ways!
So we will have a €10 billion deficit soon, we will get to keep or pharmaceuticals industries but the foreign investment will slow to a trickle and those factories will go offline in 10 years or so after there investment lifetime is done! Bleak
