Brussels in crackdown on
“double Irish” tax loophole
--------------
Brussels is challenging the
“double Irish” tax avoidance measure prized by big US tech and pharma groups,
putting pressure on Dublin to close it down or face a full-blown investigation.
As part of an ambitious and contentious tax clampdown, Europe’s top competition
authority asked Dublin earlier this year to explain the controversial tax system
used by the likes of Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Abbott
Laboratories.
歐盟威脅將全面調(diào)查愛爾蘭稅收漏洞
--------------
歐盟正挑戰(zhàn)美國大型科技和制藥集團青睞的“雙層愛爾蘭”的避稅舉措，這將向愛爾蘭施壓，要求其結(jié)束這種做法或者接受全面調(diào)查。作為一項雄心勃勃且頗具爭議的稅收打擊計劃的一部分，今年早些時候，歐洲最高級別的競爭監(jiān)管部門曾要求愛爾蘭就谷歌、微軟、Facebook和雅培等公司對采用的爭議性稅收安排做出解釋。
