In a way its quite funny, I can hear Bertie on his knees to Tony " ah, c'mon Tony, ye know we're a bunch of tax-dodging banana republicans, but don't treat us as such...!"

I suspect UK companies do thier level best to avoid UK taxes by all channels possible.

Under pressure from the European Commission, Ireland will increase its Corporation Tax rate to 12.5% from 10% in January, but the UK regards this as too little, too late. And London is not alone. A further Irish concern is that other EU member states may follow the UK's lead and introduce similar tax conditions.

This doesnt make me any happier about voting YES...
