The reason Ireland can tax companies 10% and rely on their
employees tax revenue is obvious I would have thought.
Ireland is a member of the EU. Access to a market of 500
million with relatively little transportation costs for goods along with no
trade barriers. NZ is stuck in the middle of nowhere. Cyberwork appears to offer
something (no transportation goods), yet India can easily trump that. NZ is in
an unenvious position when it comes to this.
Simply put, NZ needs to be careful about relying simply on
supply and demand to solve its economy: it depends upon the situation. Yes,
something needs to be done, but simply broadly comparing points as you did will
not provide the answer.
