We are dealing with No. 5, scrutiny of EU legislative proposals for the corporate tax reform package, including the common consolidated corporate tax base, CCCTB; COM (2016) 683; COM (2016) 685; COM (2016) 686; and COM (2016) 687. With us are Mr. Rónán Hession and Mr. Brendan Crowley from the Department of Finance and Ms Kate Levey and Ms Yvonne Quirke from the Office of the Revenue Commissioners. The committee will be briefed on the package of EU proposals for the proposed common consolidated tax base. They are significant proposal for Ireland and all other EU member states. Therefore, it is incumbent on the joint committee to engage on the proposals and come to a considered position. To assist us, the officials from the Department of Finance and the Revenue Commissioners will outline the proposals and their implications for Ireland, as they see them. This will be followed by a briefing by Mr. Bert Zuijdendorp from the European Commission who will explain the technical aspects of the proposals.
