    Put it another way, of the EU wanted to be principled and demand fairness for EU citizens they’d take away MS (and other US multinational’s) tax breaks via Dublin. But they’re not going to do that.

    The EU is literally doing that.

      Literally dragging their heels over this. The biggest opposition was from EU bloc nations.

      Now Ireland have eventually signed up to this but it’s a minimum threshold. i.e. they’re still highly comfortable about letting US multinational’s get away with complex tax arrangements in the EU to lower the amount they pay.
