Tax Inversion Puns

The changes are thought to throw the Dublin-based Allergan's $160B merger with U.S. rival Pfizer into doubt. Following the news, the firms issued a joint statement: "We are conducting a review of the actions announced today. Prior to the review, we won't speculate on any potential impact."

If/when the US government ends tax inversion, who loses? Companies will , on a net basis have more cash, so who will have less cash? Directly it might be the US government but there will be other losers as well no?

Can somebody please help me understand where the differences are between the two candidates in regard to corporate inversion & international tax policy?

While it looks like they have relatively similar platforms, I find myself distrustful of most things HRC proposes and feel like there's fine print somewhere.

So far what concerns me is the "exit tax" having no rate or range defined. Am I missing something else?

Thanks!

P.S. I know this is activism mode, so answer quickly and then get back to volunteering. ;-)

Military folks: if they get removed (as some congress critters are already calling for), what replacement fast food chain(s) would you like to see replace them?

Johnson Controls Inc. and Tyco International PLC agreed to merge, the companies said Monday, in a deal that will place the combined company’s headquarters in Ireland.

The deal’s value was unclear and representatives didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

Under the terms of the agreement, Johnson Controls will own about 56% of the merged company. The new firm will be renamed Johnson Controls PLC and maintain Tyco’s Irish legal domicile.

The companies said the merged entity would save at least $150 million a year on taxes and at least $500 million in costs over the first three years after the completion of the deal.

The deal is expected to be completed in by the end of 2016, the companies said.
