I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that while there have been recent contacts between officials in the Revenue Commissioners and the US Treasury about updating the existing US-Ireland income tax treaty, no dates have been agreed for a meeting between officials. Given that no discussions have yet taken place, it is not possible to estimate any possible impact, positive or negative, at this stage.
