Top adviser to European court of justice says ruling three years ago in tech giant’s favour should be set aside

“… in 2003 the company had been allowed an “effective corporate tax rate” of just 1% on its European profits and just 0.005% in 2014.”

That’s insane…

Very cool Ireland, thanks on behalf of the rest of the EU. Special mention for the Netherlands as well.

I’m getting tired of seeing members of this Union only care for themselves and screw over their companion states.

And the rest of the world.
