      Isn't that the whole point of Singapore on Thames?

      Perhaps they should rename it the "Grimsby on Thames" strategy.

        A lot of people think there is no tax on corporations in the Cayman Islands.

        There is corporation tax there on all companies.

        It's just the rate is 0%

        I guess the UK can impose the same lower limit.

          Europe hates the idea of an island nation close to the mainland, with ultra low tax rates, used as a loophole to attract global companies to their shore.

          Oh, unless that place is Ireland of course.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpor...lic_of_Ireland

          Ireland's "headline" corporation tax rate is 12.5%, however, foreign multinationals pay an aggregate § Effective tax rate (ETR) of 2.2–4.5% on global profits "shifted" to Ireland, via Ireland's global network of bilateral tax treaties. These lower effective tax rates are achieved by a complex set of Irish base erosion and profit shifting ("BEPS") tools which handle the largest BEPS flows in the world (e.g. the Double Irish as used by Google and Facebook, the Single Malt as used by Microsoft and Allergan, and Capital Allowances for Intangible Assets as used by Accenture, and by Apple post Q1 2015).[1]
          I will have a double Irish please.

            You need to add a Danish in there to get the full flavour!

                    They probably chlorinate it first!
