The bigger players then avoid even more tax without the expensive accountants, with the burden falling upon everybody else, not least private companies whose owners are based locally and rely on taxable dividends for a living.

How are they going to evade VAT or a land value tax?

Well, they could own virtually no land in Ireland and buy very few physical assets in Ireland (hang on, that's actually already the case for Apple; shame about anyone brave enough to be actually making stuff in Ireland though)

Put another way, why should Irish businesses and consumers pay increased VAT and a new land tax so that Apple's profits can be tax free?
