They had a decade to raise their retirement age, cut their public sector, trim their military spending and create an economy with stable employment and productivity. The truth is they didn't actually need to do most of those things. Just collect the tax due instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. Do you have evidence that Portugal isn't able to pursue offshore havens using the directive? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not mate, I'm not privy to information held by the Portuguese Attorney General. I think it's pretty clear though that if they aren't doing it, that's a fairly strong indicator that they either can't or don't want to. It's difficult to believe a left-leaning government wouldn't take an easy win like that if it could. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if they're complying with the directive (i.e. paying taxes on profits made in Portugal), the Portuguese don't have to do anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This truly is peak British banter years. It would be good if Turkey wanted some form of access to the UK for its citizens as part of the deal, given that the idea of preventing marauding Turks from taking our benefits formed 80% of the Leave campaign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't really the point, though. South Ireland has a lower household income to that of the UK and a higher cost of living. The P&B massive hate this being pointed out. But the average full time salary in the republic is about 14 thousand higher than in the UK, I can only assume more work part time in Ireland which skews your claim. https://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/average-full-time-salary-in-republic-nearly-49-000-1.4289348 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
