17 October 2016 Ireland updates international tax strategy As part of his 2017 Budget proposals (released October 11), the Irish Minister for Finance published a document entitled, Update on Ireland's International Tax Strategy (2016 Strategy Update). The 2016 Strategy Update is the second annual update of Ireland's international tax strategy and outlines where Ireland stands and where it is headed from an international tax policy perspective. The 2016 Strategy Update also reaffirms the Irish Government's tax policy commitments in an international context and outlines how the country will balance changing demands arising from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) and parallel European Union (EU) processes, against the value of constancy. A Tax Alert prepared by EY's Global Tax Desk Network, and attached below, provides additional details. Document ID: 2016-1761 |
