Bill Gates will go broke to make the earth better The Microsoft founder says he plans to give away 99% of his vast fortune over the next 20 years. In a blog post, he wrote that he will not die rich. He cited Andrew Carnegie's line: “The man who dies thus rich dies disgraced.” His foundation will close its doors permanently on December 31st, 2045. Before that it will be spending down its endowment, as well as almost all of Gates's remaining personal fortune. The Gates Foundation has spent $100 billion towards its health and development mission and plans to spend another $200 billion. The foundation is credited with eradicating Polo from Africa. Today, wild polio is found only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It's helped reduce childhood deaths from 10 million a year, to five million a year. The goals for the next 20 years: No mum, child or baby dies of a preventable cause. The next generation grows up in a world without deadly infectious disease. Bring hundreds of millions of additional people out of poverty and put more countries on a path to prosperity. Fortnite is trying to get back on the Apple App Store But will Apple allow it? It's submitted the app for Apple's review over four years after it was pulled. Epic Games has made a peace offering with Apple that if the company complies with the court's recent ruling to end the "Apple Tax", it will drop its litigation. The Apple Tax has forced app developers to use the App Store's payments system, and only the App Stores payment system, which then takes up to 30% of the revenue. Developers couldn't even link to a website on the signup page which would allow off-platform account creation and payment. Epic challenged Apple on this, with the court ruling it a monopoly. No surprise, Apple disagrees with the decision. Why? Because billions of dollars are at stake. Apple's lawyers wrote, "A federal court cannot force Apple to permanently give away free access to its products and services, including intellectual property”.

Wednesday saw the Taoiseach, Micheál Martin come face to face with US President, Donald Trump. The two met in the Oval Office, as part of the traditional St. Patrick's Day celebrations. Donald Trump says he wants the US to come up with tax policies that would prevent Ireland and other countries from taking business away from America. The US President referenced the Apple Tax case, blaming the EU rather than Ireland for the 16 billion euro tax bill. Mr Trump says he wants politicians in the United States to work together on tax and insisted he's not upset with Ireland. Meanwhile, Micheal Martin highlighted the benefits to both countries of the relationship between Ireland and the US. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Associate Professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration, Dr Chris McInerney. Photo (c) The White House via X

Not so fast, boys. On this episode we talk with Economist and author of Tax Haven Ireland, Brian O'Boyle about how the deed was done, the steps Ireland has taken to make the immoral tax system seem at least somewhat less illegal these days and the reasons why the tax haven is actually bad for the quality of life for most people listening to this podcast.

A Clare Government senator insists a new Model 3 hospital in the Midwest region can be funded without dipping into the Apple tax windfall. Speculation around how the State will spend the €14 billion in Apple tax revenue is continuing unabated as the Taoiseach has told members of his party that the money's use will be revealed on Budget Day. It's now over a week since the European Commission ruled that Apple must come up with the €13 billion in tax it failed to pay to the Irish Government. The ruling was the culmination of a long-running legal battle in which Ireland took the side of Apple. In 2016, the lower General Court of the European Court of Justice found that the American multinational corporation had underpaid taxes due to Ireland amounting to €13.1 billion between 2003 and 2014 which was a decision both Apple and the Government took umbrage at. Following the latest ruling, it's been confirmed the total amount in the third party account containing tax money owed by Apple is now €14.1 billion. Speaking in the Dáil, Finance Minister Jack Chambers has defended the Government's approach to the legal battle, claiming the case was "complex" and that the goal was to protect Ireland's tax sovereignty. Sinn Féin Finance Spokesperson Pearse Doherty has challenged this position, saying it's incredible the State fought so hard not to receive such a large amount of money given the service deficits in Ireland across multiple sectors. With calls coming from all sides for the windfall to be put towards improvements in health, housing, infrastructure and countless other areas, Taoiseach Simon Harris has told a Fine Gael party meeting that its use will be made known in Budget 2025 on October 1st. Sources close to the Taoiseach say he's suggested it will go towards infrastructure and investments which can "create a better future" but that the money will not fund day-to-day costs. Chief Executive of Ireland's Foreign Direct Investment Agency Michael Lohan says infrastructure in particular is essential to attract companies from abroad. Meelick Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe has this week called for a portion of the tax windfall to be set aside as funding for a new Model 3 hospital in the region. The Government has yet to commit to such a facility, with the findings of a HIQA review examining the need for a second emergency department in the region not expected to be released until May 2025. Tulla Fianna Fáil Senator Timmy Dooley insists the new emergency department should be in Clare but claims the State has enough in its coffers already to develop a funding stream.

In his piece for the Irish Times earlier this week, CEO of Ibec Danny McCoy wrote about the ‘generational opportunity' the next government will have to transform the country. Speaking with host Ciarán Hancock on this week's episode of Inside Business, he explained how the key areas of infrastructure, education and energy strategy are central to maintaining a competitive economy here.And in terms of the funding needed to address those three areas, McCoy warned against a long-term reliance on the current corporate tax bonanza, he instead suggested more taxation on the individual, a move he knows would be politically unpopular. And what about the €13 billion of Apple tax? Ibec's chief suggested that Ireland could take the noble step of giving it to poorer countries who really need it.Also on this episode, Irish Times Soccer Correspondent Gavin Cummiskey on the continuing financial struggles of the Football Association of Ireland as it finds itself still tens of millions in debt.

What is the right level of interest rates? While discussion of 'R-star' might seem esoteric, they do say one important thing: Euro interest rates are way too high.The Federal Reserve has achieved its price stability mandate and is now switching to focus on employment.Growth is now front and centre of all European economic policy debate. Even - especially - in the UK. The new chancellor is going down exactly the wrong path if she sticks to her fiscal rules. Don't just listen to us - every economist in the world is now on the same page when it comes to investment and growth. The time has come to junk the old rules and embrace sensible risk taking.The response to the Apple tax case has at times verged on hysteria. It would be funny if it wasn't so serious.

A member of Clare's housing committee is calling for an urgent investigation to determine if landlords in this county have breached rent pressure zone rules. The Residential Tenancies Board's latest report, which has just been published, shows the average standardised rent in this county was 1,200 euro per month at the end of last year, representing a quarterly jump of 11%, and an annual rise of 20%. Both of those were the second highest increases recorded nationwide and the RTB has confirmed it will write to landlords it suspects may have breached the 2% RPZ rental cap, which would have been in place in the Ennis local electoral area at the time. Clarecastle Sinn Féin Councillor Tommy Guilfoyle has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that he believes the Government must use its impending 13 billion euro Apple Tax windfall to tackle the disproportionate housing shortage in Clare.

This week on Taking Stock Mandy is joined by Lauren Fedor from the Financial Times who has been covering the US Presidential debate and she breaks down the fallout for both Trump and Harris as we enter a crucial phase in the race. The government says a €13 billion windfall from the Apple Tax ruling won't affect this year's Budget package. But with the Dáil set to return, how much cash will actually be available? Mandy takes stock of the promises made over the summer and what it would cost if everything the government pledged actually came to pass.Plus we turn our attention to the UK and the ongoing debate about the BBC's future. What challenges are they facing, and how might it compare to our own media landscape?

The Irish Medical Organization (IMO) has called for the Government to use some of the proceeds from the Apple Tax to address major infrastructural issues in the Irish health services. We speak to Dr Denis Mc Cauley, GP and president of the Irish Medical Organisation to discuss this.

On this week's episode of Inside Business we're looking at the Apple tax judgement from the European Court of Justice with Joe Brennan. It was decided on Tuesday that the tech giant had enjoyed illegal State aid and the ECJ determined that Ireland should collect some €13 billion in back tax.Joe Brennan has covered this saga over the past decade and joined host Ciarán Hancock on the line to discuss the story. What is the background to the case? How is the money likely to be spent? Will this impact foreign direct investment here?Also on this week's episode, we hear from Claire Nash who opened Nash 19 restaurant in 1992, going on a rollercoaster ride along with the ups and downs of the Irish economy. In January she pulled down the shutters after a succession of blows dealt by the pandemic, soaring inflation and the cost-of-living crisis. She discusses her reasons for closing, explains why a cup of coffee should really be costing €8 or €9 a pop, and offers her take on how the hospitality sector might be rescued via Government initiatives.Produced by John Casey with JJ Vernon on sound.

Is an award of €13 billion a big win or an embarrassing loss? The European Court of Justice (ECJ) court yesterday said that the European Commission was correct in 2016 when it ruled that Apple owed Ireland €13 billion in tax relating to underpayments during 2003-2014.The ruling represents a heavy legal defeat for Apple and the Irish Government – and a major win for the EU.But how did it get to the point that Ireland had to go to Europe to defend a tax arrangement with a multinational? Irish Times columnist Cliff Taylor explains how a big pay-day for the Government is also a reputational hit, with the court's clear and final verdict that Ireland broke the rules and offered illegal State aid to Apple. And he looks at how to spend it. Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Declan Conlon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This Day in Legal History: Howe Sewing Machine PatentedOn this day in legal history, September 10, 1846, Elias Howe was granted U.S. Patent No. 3640 for his revolutionary sewing machine. Howe's invention was a significant breakthrough, speeding up the process of garment production and forever changing the textile industry. However, Howe's legal battles soon followed, as other inventors, including Isaac Singer, began producing sewing machines that closely resembled Howe's patented design.In 1854, Howe sued Singer, accusing him of patent infringement. The court ruled in Howe's favor, affirming that Singer's machine did indeed infringe upon Howe's patent. This victory not only solidified Howe's place as the rightful inventor of the sewing machine but also secured him substantial royalties from Singer's machines, which were gaining widespread popularity.The case marked an important moment in patent law, demonstrating the power of legal protections for inventors during the Industrial Revolution. By enforcing his patent rights, Howe reaped financial benefits and ensured that his invention would be recognized for its originality.In a significant victory for the European Union's regulatory efforts, Apple and Google both lost high-stakes court battles related to antitrust and tax issues. The EU's Court of Justice upheld a €13 billion ($14.4 billion) tax ruling against Apple, finding that Ireland's favorable tax treatment of the company amounted to illegal state aid. Apple had previously condemned the 2016 decision, but the court's ruling now forces Ireland to determine how to handle the recovered taxes.In a separate case, Google lost its challenge against a €2.4 billion fine for leveraging its dominance in search to prioritize its own shopping services over competitors, a ruling that reinforces the EU's efforts to regulate Big Tech. These decisions mark a major success for Margrethe Vestager, the EU's antitrust chief, as she prepares to leave her position after spearheading years of regulatory scrutiny on tech giants, including Amazon and Fiat.Both Apple and Google expressed disappointment with the rulings, but the decisions signal a continued regulatory clampdown on Big Tech in Europe, bolstered by new legislation such as the Digital Markets Act, which aims to prevent companies from favoring their own services over rivals. The rulings set a global precedent, as other regulators around the world increasingly scrutinize Silicon Valley's market dominance.Apple Loses EU Top Court Fight Over €13 Billion Irish Tax BillIn the start of the Google antitrust trial, the U.S. Department of Justice argued that Google used its size and power to dominate the online advertising market, accusing the company of monopolistic practices. During the opening of the trial in Alexandria, Virginia, prosecutors claimed that Google controlled both sides of the ad tech ecosystem by eliminating competition, acquiring rivals, and locking in customers. Google's actions allegedly stifled competition in a market handling over 150,000 ad sales every second. Google's attorney, Karen Dunn, dismissed the case as outdated, comparing it to relics like BlackBerrys and iPods. She argued that Google's tools now work alongside competitors and that the digital ad market has shifted, with major players like Amazon and Comcast providing significant competition. Google's defense echoes its arguments in a recent search monopoly case, which it won.The Justice Department seeks a ruling that could force Google to divest key ad tech products like Google Ad Manager. The trial will continue for several weeks before a ruling is issued by U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema. This case is one of several recent efforts to challenge Big Tech monopolies, with similar cases against Meta, Amazon, and Apple also underway.Google aimed to control web ad tech, US prosecutor says as trial begins | ReutersIn a piece I wrote for Forbes—and with apologies for the double dose of me today—I delve into the tax loophole used by the ultra-wealthy known as the "buy/borrow/die" strategy. This tactic allows the wealthy to use highly appreciated assets as collateral for loans, giving them access to large sums of money without triggering taxable events. While some propose taxing loans at disbursement, I argue that a better approach would be a "repayment realization" rule, where taxes are applied when these loans are repaid, aligning more closely with traditional tax principles.Taxing at disbursement could open the door to various tax avoidance strategies, such as using offshore lending or taking out smaller loans to stay under tax thresholds. Additionally, taxing loans at the time of issuance could complicate valuations of illiquid or hard-to-value assets, making enforcement difficult. A repayment realization rule, on the other hand, would ensure that taxes are triggered when wealth is actually monetized to repay the loan, addressing these loopholes.This approach would also reduce the risk of manipulation through rolling over loans or making small repayments, as each repayment would be taxed proportionally. While there are challenges, like preventing double taxation, this proposal offers a more effective solution to ensure the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share of taxes when they access their wealth.Closing The Loan-Tax Loophole: Considering “Repayment Realization”In my column this week for Bloomberg, I propose the creation of an IRS-managed "encyclopedia of tax fraud" to help taxpayers spot scams early. While some fraudulent schemes are so obvious they're easy to recognize, others are packaged cleverly as legitimate tax strategies, making it difficult for the average person to tell the difference. Although the IRS publishes resources like the "Dirty Dozen" list of frauds, these are often too technical or hard to locate, limiting their usefulness. I suggest a Wikipedia-style online database, maintained by the IRS, that offers clear, plain-language explanations of fraud schemes, real-life examples, and the warning signs people should look for when receiving tax advice. This would allow taxpayers to identify potential scams before becoming victims or unwittingly participating in fraud. It would also explain the consequences of engaging in fraudulent activity, serving as a deterrent. By compiling this information in one place, the IRS could better protect taxpayers and safeguard vital tax revenue, making the job of scam artists much more difficult. My aim is to create a first line of defense for taxpayers as fraud schemes become increasingly sophisticated.‘Encyclopedia of Fraud' Would Help Taxpayers Spot Scams Early This is a public episode.

Simon Tierney joins Sean Moncrieff to suggest some outlandish infrastructure projects for Ireland...

Clare's Member of the European Parliament claims Ireland's tax arrangement with Apple had "all the hallmarks of a sweetheart deal". It comes as the European Court of Justice has ruled that Apple must pay €13.1 billion in unpaid tax to Ireland following an almost ten-year legal battle. In 2016, the European Commission found the company had underpaid taxes due to Ireland to that amount between 2003 and 2014 - a decision which was rejected by both Apple and the Irish Government. Scariff Independent MEP Michael McNamara has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons he believes Ireland has allowed large corporations to wield far too much power.

Ciara was joined by People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy and Cormac Lucey, Economics Columnist with Sunday Times Ireland, to discuss the European Court of Justice's landmark ruling on the €13 billion tax case involving Apple and Ireland.
