Bondholders payout

stoneill · 2011-11-02 15:26:30

The bondholders payout - getting 100% of their unsecured loans. So we must pay it back as per ECB - but as the current bondholders are not the original bondholders - they bought the loans at 30% of face value - they must be liable for tax, should the govt take the opportunity to slap a 99% tax on their payouts?

Given the attitude irish Governments take to irish tax exile, it is highly unlikely they would take any action on international bondholders and i somehow doubt that the EU would allow it.
