Ireland is regularly called a tax haven and comes under heavy scrutiny. It seems politically convenient for many of the bigger countries to point the finger rather than introduce their own reforms. Oddly often by places like the UK who happily operates the Channel Islands, Isle of Man and Jersey in the same manner. Irelands advertised rate is actually quite close to its effective rate which most other countries don&#x27;t do. Belgium, where the official rate stands at 34% but this report said companies were handing over 6.5% on their profits. The truth is though if everywhere is partially a tax haven then no where is.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pwc.com&#x2F;gx&#x2F;en&#x2F;paying-taxes&#x2F;pdf&#x2F;pwc-paying-taxes-2015-high-resolution.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pwc.com&#x2F;gx&#x2F;en&#x2F;paying-taxes&#x2F;pdf&#x2F;pwc-paying-taxes-2...</a>
