Big Bleu in the Top 12 with a $25B horde piled-up overseas. I'd love to get a full itemized accounting of exactly how every penny of whatever they decide to repatriate gets apportioned. Alas, I'm sure we'll never know. . .

@ynu - Ireland is at 12.5% (for trading / investment income) and 25% for operations income (see wiki and IDA links below):
And Holland is at 25% (with the exception of the first EUR200K which is taxed at 20%)...
At such levels, all that money HAS to come back... There is no STABLE and DEMOCRATIC first world country with rates under 20%, hence the USA is the most attractive tax shelter right now...

IBM's currently reporting around 6% with all the writeoffs and loopholes.
If they are in Ireland or Holland they'll go from paying 2 to 5% taxes to 20% that they will pay under the Trump tax plan. So why would they bring it back?
