Dublin poised to be the big winner from Brexit

Despite the housing gap it looks like Dublin is ahead of the rest of the EU cities in landing the companies and jobs from Brexodus.
While I fully expect Frankfurt to be the overall winner in the end, it looks like Dublin will be getting thousands of jobs and a lot more taxable revenue.
Brexit is a rare issue where the Irish government deserves some praise in how they've handled it. With Brexodus a forgone conclusion it will be very interesting for the Irish to see what comes out of the next few weeks announcements and leaks regarding how much benefit we'll get from all this disruption. |

Of course it is. Because corporation tax in Ireland is relatively low by EU standards.
Ireland’s fellow-member states in the European Union have consistently condemned and criticised the Irish corporation tax system.
If your company is big enough you pay hardly any corporation tax! Apple only paid an effective corporate tax rate that declined from 1% in 2003 to 0.005% in 2014 on the profits of Apple Sales International.
No wonder they're ditching Frankfurt for Dublin! |

You cant really complain about our tax rate when the Tories have suggested a 10% corporation tax rate post Brexit. And the difference between our rate and yours is less than the difference between yours and France and Germany among others. |

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Dutch tax rate while you were at it.
What with the double Irish arrangement and the Dutch Sandwich companies have evaded paying €billions in tax. |

One of the major gaps in what tax Diageo should have owed is from the UK. Why would the UK allow no capital gains tax when a British company sells a company (and sends its profits) abroad? |
