Talk:Ireland as a tax haven

Consistent false information
This article - written by Britishfinance - contains consistently false, exaggerated, and distorted information that is used in a political manner to attack Ireland and its corporate tax policy. Whether Ireland's corporate tax regime is right or wrong is certainly up for date; however, it is vitally important to keep to the facts, and that is something that this article simply fails to do. It must also be noted that Britishfinance has made numerous personal attacks against IDA Ireland CEO Mark Shanahan.

I recommend at the very least reading this article with severe reservations. This is an article which frankly does not meet Wikipedia's standards of objectivity, accuracy and integrity. Duke Of Dirty Dancing (talk) 19:20, 13 August 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry no one answered before. A problem is that these are sweeping allegations, launched against one of the best-referenced articles I have seen in long years on Wikipedia.  I could certainly see scope to grow (and update) the article, and I would consider that some pruning, and reduction of repetition, could be done, but the basics seem solid.  Editors also don't attack each other, especially when no evidence of the alleged attacks by an editor on an outside party are provided. SeoR (talk) 23:14, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The remark about Britishfinance is likely due to off-site accusations about him from Irish newspapers and on Reddit. Britishfinance is a controversial user (seemingly he was blocked in March? I can't find any reason for why exactly) but that's not enough to invalidate the entire article. BF hasn't even edited the article since well before his block and he seemingly abandoned the website in February. I would agree there's a strange, slightly hostile undertone to the page, but Duke should give more specific criticisms of what's wrong with this article or if any information is incorrectly cited. 109.77.245.10 (talk) 07:49, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Request for deletion
If this article cannot be edited in a way that is fair and accurate, then I am requesting that it thus be deleted. The false information that the now inactive Britishfinance has disseminated continies to have an impact on the lack of fair and accurate reporting on this site in relation to Ireland's corporate tax policy.

Hi. I would agree with the above request, not just for the page itself but for the linked tax haven page which was also written by the user Britishfinance creating their own definitions of tax haven which Ireland can then be shown to comply with. 178.249.193.97 (talk) 19:36, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

I actually think this article is very well written and researched. It is almost academic quality. The related tax haven article is even higher quality. The person who did the work, britishfinnce, is to be commended. The definitions presented are consistent with the current academic definitions, and I suspect the person is an academic, or has at least studied the topics academically. 176.61.10.79 (talk) 20:30, 26 January 2022 (UTC)


 * I think a more fitting page move would make sense Ireland as a corporate haven. "Tax haven" is a conclusion. But it can be a corporate haven without being a tax haven. One is about competition one is about breaking the law of some countries. CaribDigita (talk) 11:56, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
