两个技术巨人支付了爱尔兰2024年公司税的近40%,引起人们对依赖少数公司造成的财政风险的担忧。 Two tech giants paid nearly 40% of Ireland’s 2024 corporate tax, raising concerns over fiscal risk from reliance on a few firms.

两家主要技术公司在2024年缴纳了爱尔兰公司税的近40%,前三家公司共同承担了收入的46%,约为130亿欧元,与前几年相比大幅上升。 Two major tech companies paid nearly 40% of Ireland’s corporation tax in 2024, with the top three firms collectively responsible for 46% of receipts—around 13 billion euros—marking a sharp rise from previous years. 在技术和制药公司付款的推动下,从2021年到2024年,税收收入几乎翻了一番。 Tax revenue nearly doubled from 2021 to 2024, driven by payments from tech and pharmaceutical firms. 爱尔兰财政咨询理事会警告说,这种集中增加了财政风险,因为政府收入仍然容易受到市场变化、监管变化或对AI和药物投资表现不佳的利润波动的影响。 The Irish Fiscal Advisory Council warns that this concentration increases fiscal risk, as government income remains vulnerable to profit fluctuations from market changes, regulatory shifts, or underperforming investments in AI and drugs. 虽然新的15%的全球最低税率预计将在2026年达到50亿欧元,但收紧监管、美国降低药品价格或AI回报率低可能使利润下降,抵消收益。 While a new 15% global minimum tax rate is expected to add up to five billion euros from 2026, potential declines in profitability from tighter regulations, reduced drug pricing in the U.S., or weak AI returns could offset gains.
