‹ Order of Business Multinational tax liabilities
Summary
Senator Bacik says Ireland should not be treated as a tax haven and supports greater international transparency so multinationals cannot evade tax.
We must be careful about robustly defending the Irish tax regime. It is appropriate that this issue was discussed at the EU summit yesterday. Clearly, this is an issue not alone for Ireland or any other individual country but at a transnational level in terms of ensuring transparency in tax regimes so that multinationals cannot escape their tax liabilities by seeking tax havens, which Ireland clearly is not.
