Afternoon everyone,

Does any boardsie have a subscription to the Irish Sunday Times online edition? I would love to get access to one particular article http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/ireland/article1131744.ece, however paying a years subscription is a tad too much just to satisfy my curiosity!

If anyone would be so kind as to let me know, I would be extremely grateful.

Thanks for your time in advance,

Cul.

I did indeed, at great length. However, there seems to be something at the end of that section that doesn't involve Jamaican tax that I'm interested in.

Hi cul-2008

This is all the text in that article.


Death and taxes: the only two certainties in life, or so the old saying goes. Unless you're Irish and you work for Digicel in Jamaica, that is, in which case the taxes could possibly be overcome: the government there is reportedly working on a new law to exempt foreign executives from income tax. Last Tuesday, Peter Phillips, Jamaica's finance minister, tabled a bill to exclude foreign executives from paying tax if they work for a company that has established its group headquarters on the sun-soaked island. Funnily enough, Digicel, which recently paid its founder Denis O'Brien a dividend of $300m (€230m), is building a new group headquarters in downtown Kingston. The group's Irish-born senior managers — including chief executive Colm Delves, finance director Lawrence Hickey, chief operating officer Kevin White, commercial director Brian Finn, and HR director Pat Casey — are all based in Jamaica, so could stand to benefit from the new tax laws. Digicel told the Jamaica Gleaner newspaper: "We expect that Digicel will be entitled to avail of the measures. We welcome any initiative that encourages further foreign investment into Jamaica." Of course they do. O'Brien, of course, is famously tax resident in Malta, meaning he is not obliged to pay income tax in Ireland. So that's the taxes bit sorted. Now for the immortality.

Thanks LoafieBread,

Turns out what I wanted isn't even in that article - have to stop believing what Google tells me!

Thanks again though - very much appreciate it.
