Everyone’s talking about… Last Week Tonight
John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight took a look at Ireland’s tax haven status on last night’s episode. The host flagged the amount of American companies not paying the 35 percent corporate tax, mentioning Apple’s defense that they don’t stash money on Caribbean islands.
“Technically correct, Apple didn’t stash their money on a Caribbean island. They did, however, stash their money on this island, Ireland, which it’s true, is not in the Caribbean so one word made a lot of difference there”.
Ouch.
