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

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

4:00 pm

Mr. Conor O'Brien:

On the example I went through there, one could have some companies where one would end up with an effective tax rate of 60% if one did that. It would have no effect on some companies because they may not have any of those expenses. Personally, I would not recommend that. Perhaps we do not have time to go into much more detail than that.
