Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Joint Sub-Committee on Global Corporate Taxation

Ireland's Corporate Tax System: (Resumed) KPMG and Unite

2:30 pm

Mr. Michael Taft:

I have shown this using the macroeconomic data available which, by the way, is close to the Irish data. I am referring to the CSO data because EUROSTAT data is collected from there and it is very close to the Revenue Commissioners data as well, as Mr. O'Brien pointed out. The French effective corporate tax rate is over 30%.
