AnGaelach wrote: » The middle-sized American company (of which many operate in Ireland) don't want to have to pay a couple more accountants to get creative with getting around repatriation efforts. Right now, companies like Apple and Alphabet have enormous sums of money sitting in accounts in the Bahamas waiting for the US tax rate to drop before they repatriate their money. Instead of that fancy accounting stuff, companies will be able to just repatriate their profits from Ireland to the US with relative ease. This means more companies will set up in Ireland since the ease of doing business is that much easier. Unless you disagree with Michael Noonan, who has said what myself and others have already said in this thread (I'll dig up the posts for you if you want).
