They won&#x27;t have paid taxes in Ireland.  that&#x27;s the point.<p>Like Apple google negotiated a deal that only Ireland profits are taxed in Ireland but European profits are declared there but are untaxed.<p>The UK could reduce it&#x27;s tax rate to 1% and they&#x27;d still have their Irish tax structure as that gives them 0% across all of Europe.<p>It&#x27;s hard to go lower than 0.
