Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Corporate Taxation and Investment and Growth Strategies: Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs (24 Jan 2017)

Peter Burke: I thank the Commissioner for taking the time to come here. From listening to the other speakers, am I correct that the Commission has not done its scoping exercise regarding how much the corporation tax take in Ireland could potentially reduce if the CCCTB was to be brought to fruition?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Corporate Taxation and Investment and Growth Strategies: Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs (24 Jan 2017)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Corporate Taxation and Investment and Growth Strategies: Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs (24 Jan 2017)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Corporate Taxation and Investment and Growth Strategies: Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs (24 Jan 2017)

Peter Burke: This does not do anything to solve that. Reading through the Commissioner's speech, it is very difficult to reconcile when he says that it will have no impact on sovereignty but is using terms around putting an end to the tensions between national systems and member states having strength in numbers. If this base was agreed, how could High Court decisions on tax in this country be...
