New research from the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council shows two unnamed tech companies—widely seen as Apple and Microsoft—paid nearly €11 billion, or 40% of Ireland's 2024 corporation tax, with Eli Lilly covering most of the rest to reach 46% total. Corporation tax has nearly doubled since 2021, boosted by global 15% minimum rates that will add €5 billion more from 2026, but the council warns of risks from over-reliance on a few U.S. firms amid AI uncertainties, regulations, and policy shifts. While multinationals bring jobs, exports like Eli Lilly's €36 billion in drug ingredients, and funds like the €20 billion Strategic Transformation Fund, online concerns echo the 2008 crash, urging bigger savings buffers.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Imagine three companies footing nearly half of a nation's corporate tax bill. That's Ireland's reality, where two tech giants and one pharma firm drove the bulk of last year's €28.1 billion haul.
