We are coming at this from the point of view of the basis of corporation tax.
On the ECOFIN discussions, there is a report from the ECON committee, which is preparing to finalise on the common consolidated corporate tax base, CCCTB. I understand what the Minister has said about the likelihood of the CCCTB being changed. The European Union is giving direction on this and there is a trend that we have to date managed to withstand. Is it likely that we will have the necessary allies within the Union to withstand it for much longer? What is the Government's strategy to withstand it in the future.
