Review of Ireland's Corporation Tax Code: Discussion

7:15 pm

Mr. Seamus Coffey:

I am not sure how that would operate. One is crossing the boundaries between the corporate profits tax and the income tax. We have made some provisions in Ireland for start-up companies but the interaction between the corporate profits tax and the personal income tax is hard to track. In Ireland, if one adds it up, the rates are towards the top. A lot of that is driven by our relatively high rates of personal income tax.
