Hillary Clinton ad hits out at companies paying tax in Ireland

Hillary Clinton is airing a campaign advertisement attacking the last so-called tax inversion by a US company and specifically mentioned Ireland as the destination to avoid paying taxes.

The advertisements, airing across the mid-west, attacks Johnson Controls, a Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based car parts company that merged with Irish-registered Tyco International in January.

The corporate headquarters of the merged company will be in Milwaukee. Tyco moved its registered address from Bermuda to Ireland in 2014. Ms Clinton, the Democratic primary frontrunner, described the move as an “outrage” and vowed that, if president, she would make companies “pay a price” if they walked out on America.
