Eamon Ryan (Dublin Bay South, Green Party) | Oireachtas source
I move amendment No. 6:
To delete all words after “Dáil Éireann:” and substitute the following:
“(i) commits itself to the highest international standards in transparency in the taxation of the corporate sector;
(ii) resolves that no company or individual shall receive preferential tax treatment contrary to the Tax Acts;
(iii) notes the decision of the European Commission on 30th August, 2016 outlining the level of uncollected Corporation Tax from Apple operations within the European Union from 1991 to 2015;
(iv) signals our support for the reform measures being introduced by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the European Union to bring greater certainty and equity in the implementation of international taxation and transfer pricing policies;
(v) commits to working with the US and other European Governments on the closure of all inappropriate offshore tax avoidance mechanisms; and
(vi) resolves to provide a level playing field which allows all companies operating in Ireland to benefit from a competitive and consistent corporate tax regime.”
