Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed). (13 Dec 2016)

Peter Burke: I thank the witnesses for their detailed presentations. Ireland has made huge inroads in dealing with tax evasion and reforming its corporation tax policy. The "double Irish" loophole has been closed, there has been detailed examination of the section 110s and an expert has been commissioned over the budget period to review the corporation tax policy, which will be very welcome. There...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed). (13 Dec 2016)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed). (13 Dec 2016)

Peter Burke: In terms of accountability would there be qualified majority voting? What process would there be for holding that authority to account because it could be dangerous to some member states? This would ring-fence corporation tax for the member states. Offsets are an important component of cashflow but many companies would seem to be in trouble because if the corporation tax is ring-fenced for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (Resumed). (13 Dec 2016)

Peter Burke: If the rules are changed that would be a concern.
